My pet theory is that stupidly powerful rare-earth magnets, and class D amplifiers are the two main things that killed "hifi" type audio. No more black magic needed messing with transistors and op-amps on bespoke circuit boards that used to be the moat for these oldschool brands.
My Alexa Echo Dot 4 sounds better than my home audio setup from the 90s. Now, a fair comparison would be to a modern floor speaker with modern magnets and amps, but I'm too old for this :-)
