I really don't get the point of the question other then question of weather your an audio nut or gadget geek.
I myself could not care less about the implementation in comparison to results achieved. But the comparison made here also makes little sense as the cost differential is so great.
But for arguments sake, I'll try to validate the argument with the following comparison.
DeVore Fidelity Gibbon 9 or Paradigm Studio 100 v.5
The DeVore is minute in stature compared to the Studio and from a technological standpoint appears to have less development. The DeVore on the other hand has strong praise for its sound quality and appears to a quality over technological quantity product as compared to the Paradigm.
But you would be incredibly foolish to think that technology and quality is not synonymous. Revel Studio 2 or Salon 2 are a technological tour de force with excellent quality. While Sonus Faber lines achieve a significant level of their performance on the basis of excellent quality and technologically, but somewhat less as compared to the Revel.
As for more technology based designs. The Gallo 3.1 comes to mind as and interesting example. The CDT tweeter is phenomenally wide in dispersion but I can say that the integration of the range of drivers in the speaker is not perfect. You can certainly consider it a technological compromise.
