      the newer gear does sound better, more clear, more accurate bass, and so on, whether you're talking SS or tubes.  So I hear, anyway, in the case of tubes.  With SS, there's no doubt.  The better the signal your speakers are feeding on, the better they sound, whatever age they might be.

     

      you're very right ,  clean SS power is the way to go  for the long haul , no tubes to replace ever , no adjustments needed , no tune-ups   , no  repairs for 10-20-30 years  , the perfect example , with an excellent pre-amp  , Yamaha  A-S-1000 or 1100 or 1200   ,   and yes quality matters , a cheap SS amp will not do

     the minor stains, scratches, etc.  That's just visible evidence of history.  I'm thinking a light sanding with 220 grit followed by 320 grit, vacuum, tack cloth and then oil.  Any thoughts

     

    the stains can be removed with a magic eraser ,   TRADE SECRET sold on amazon  will remove the scratches and it will oil the veneer  at the same time , the contents are coconut oil mixed with colorants  , no VOC's , no chemicals .....  wipe it on to restore the natural  finish , that 's it .

    I have similar issue with this post. When Bluetooth connected, I turn on via ARC then the Fives cannot play any sound. I have to reset power to get it back.

    Wouldn't that omit or at least minimize the R&D costs, including building and rejecting early prototypes?  Also, these subs, particularly the two larger ones, may be produced in the hundreds, not the thousands or even ten thousands of some very popular subs.

     

    the reality for 2023 are high energy + high interest rates + high labor costs + shortages in the supply chain + staff shortages + regular price increases for materials + high  R&D costs   , based on the uncertainty   , the R&D costs will most likely be even higher in 2024    .
