Re: As primitive as LPs are, they are a model of perfection compared to your loudspeakers

"Microphones work in the same direction (coverting mechanical to electrical energy) as a phono playback and are functionally very similar to loudspeakers in reverse"

In principle of operation yes, in practical execution, not even remotely close. When did you EVER see a high fidelity microphone or phonograph cartridge that looked anything like a high fidelity speaker system?

"The speakers job is simply more difficult (making loud sounds in a controlled manner)."

Well they certainly have no problems making loud sounds in an uncontrolled manner. Very very loud sounds, judging from how many audiophiles and others have damaged their hearing or lost it entirely as the result of being exposed to them.
