摘要

Electronics have changed the world, and that includes the hi-fi world, out of all recognition in the last 50 years. But what about loudspeakers? They've got bigger and better, or more often smaller and better. They are sleeker and shinier, with some fantastic new materials technology. But when it comes to basic principles, most of the drivers and boxes we listen to could have been designed 30 or more years ago.

That's the view of one of today's most successful speaker builders, Peter Thomas, owner of PMC.
