Semi, I worked in a FAB for 30+ yrs. Yep, moore's law SEEMS to apply. Any new technology will make such rapid progress at the beginning. I've worked from submicron to power devices, many places in between, started with evaporation and saw the start of semiconductor sputtering. Etch from all wet to dry. You name it.
As I'm sure you well know, there are theoretical limits to speed, density and even memory limits. What do you do after you have junctions a few angrstroms thick with linewidths to match? How do you implant that and not either overdrive and still have l effective?
Certainly there will be opportunities in the future. nano devices, and even superconductors may play a part, but once the 'low hanging fruit' is gone, the pace of density increase must slow, if not reach saturation.
To help you close your 'amp/speaker impedance interaction' problem, please look up Power Factor on google. The Wiki article will explain much.

Also, since you are a semiconductor process (I hope) guy, you should be able to adapt over to the Smith Chart.
