The facts of the matter are the frame assembly has been the same since serial number 000001 to 360000. Same aluminum side extrusions, same top/bottom plastic injection molded pieces, same aluminum vertical struts, same screws. The ONLY difference over the years has been the safety screens.
The improved safety screen was introduced with the Pro version of the speakers since this market needed a more robust speaker. The first generation screens could easily be kicked in or popped out with rough handling that we typically find in pro audio situations. Quad decided to make all the speaker this way. This improved screen when installed into the existing frame did result in a frame assembly that was a bit stiffer, a little more heavy and more acoustically open.
Reviewers write what they are told. None of them have ever actually taken the speakers apart to determine the validity or extend of the information they have been provided. Marketing departments come up with all kinds of copy in an attempt to sell product. They get real creative with copy when they have basically the same product to sell every year.
Believe who you wish frankly I could not care less.
