Does new speaker have higher efficiency, so less power produce the same level of sound?
Traditional moving coil driver technology hasn’t changed much in 40 or even 80 years. What has has changed is that amplification became more powerful, cheaper, better. This then has led to speaker design trending toward less sensitive designs to take advantage of that cheap power in smaller packages. Companies still produce designs from the 70s because they are still good.
