Ok, I would agree with this. The power handling is the factor that I forgot to mention. The Japanese home drivers are rated for a few watts vs. the pro driver are rated for hundreds watts.  BTW, some of older pro drivers (like my Vitavox) were also rated for a few watts.

What however, we need to pay attention is not a power rating but how much advance the low power rating would give to the home use drivers. With just a few watts of power rating the drivers that meant for “home use” might use way voice coils tunes of much smaller gauge, use rectangular wire and to wind it tighten, make the lighter voice coils or even the voice coils coil made by this foil. This would minimize the inertia of the movable part of the driver and make the driver to be more reactive to lower signals. This is certainly an advantage.

What I would wordy in this approach is about the satiation what somebody by $20K for a pair of 5W drivers and decide to use it in his/her 1000sq feet room.  It is not out of the realm of imposable. So would it mean that 300B amp at full power will overheat or burn up the $20K driver? Pay attrition we know NOTHING about the stats of the driver like GOTO and how tolerant they are for power. I wish this subject had some exposure as well.

Anyhow, the lower power handling for the home drives and consequential of lower moving mass is the factor.
