This is a well known fact in the boating industry
What I would like to see is some facts to support Todd's assertion about the audio industry. Sorry, but I couldn't care less about boats.
Perhaps you might think similarly of the auto industry, but today's Honda Accord sedan can outperform many 60's icons like the Jaguar XK-E and Aston-Martin DB5. High end performance is now available to everyone.
He can't provide them. How about you? Anyone?
Any whiners out there have anything of substance to offer?

I've met bare foot peasants that have cell phones. They still live in shanty towns, though.
If our incomes are higher today, the landlord class is getting most of it, so it is not available for audio pursuits.
You're confusing technology with being well off
I grew up where the family TV was a 19" Zenith B&W. The family car was loaded - had AM radio and AC.
If our incomes are higher today...
If? That's what the data proves.

Why are there so many whiners here?

It's an analogy.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
It's an analogy.
But doesn't necessarily apply to the audio industry. Trickle down technology and knowledge found in audio is different from disciplines that are based upon traditional construction techniques.
Are there any boats available today found at one-tenth the cost of comparable features and performance from ten years ago?
Where do you get the factor of ten thing?
Is a Yamaha amp ten times better, or ten times cheaper than one was ten years ago? No to both.
Has the Quad ESL ever been equaled or surpassed? Trick question. I see you own Soundlabs. :)

That would be availability of today's gear vs that of the past.

Not referring to Yamaha.
Has the Quad ESL ever been equaled or surpassed?
I first heard the Levinson HQD system back in '77. Dayton-Wrights were superior even back then.
Quad ElS 63 I used for several years but found TL speakers to be better.
