Hello,
It's interesting to look inside speakers, but I think magazines should avoid doing that during the review because while it might seem like fun to take off a driver and see what's behind, there's no guarantee you'll get it back right and have the speaker functioning as it should. You'd need to have proper test equipment and do a before and after if you do it, which most reviewers aren't equipped to do.
Furthermore, take out a driver and what you're most likely to see is a lot of damping material, which isn't too attractive at all. To get a real look, you'd have to pull it all out, but then you've really messed things up.
So, if manufacturers were to allow it, it kind of makes for a "destruction" exercise. What's more relevant is the sound of course, but also how it measures. Those are the priorities -- and not enough publications are measuring.
That said, to see a lot of speaker internals during construction, I invite you to look at many of our YouTube videos. We travel to a lot of companies to profile new products. Part of that is profiling is filming the insides of stuff.
