Superconducting speakers, are they on the way? Would you be first?

Lots of hoopla right now about LK-99, a potential super conductor out of South Korea that is causing labs around the world to attempt to replicate their findings.

It got me thinking, for certain superconductors are already in use (MRIs) and a room temperature, low pressure superconductor would turn engineering on it's end, but how many of us would rush to the store to hear speakers made of LK-99? 

Does the idea of a hyper-modern material in your stereo excite you?

Generation one of any new tech is not likely to exceed in overall performance of, for instance the speakers I have which have fifty years of refinement in them from the same company.

 

Any one else here try Windows 1.0… omg. I couldn’t get it to function on the new hardware I had.

 

Class D amps are starting to get closer to other pre existing amp types… in how many decades?

 

No thank you.

Room temperature superconductors and cold fusion seem to pop into the news every few years.  Both technologies are desperately needed to complete my newly designed warp drives.

They do indeed! :D I’m really just kind of thinking of how attracted audiophiles are to the concept of modernity. Having cutting edge tech.

Not without an amplifier that is .0000000002 ohm stable.
