Aiwa EXOS-10

The EXOS-10 came out in August 2024, and is a replacement for the Aiwa EXOS-9. The EXOS-10 certainly "looks" better, with dual VU meters, a spectrum analyzer, and silver rings around the speakers. By the way, you can turn off those meters and spectrum analyzer if you want to darken it.

Unlike the previous model, the EXOS-10 has an FM radio with station presets. It also has Bluetooth version 5.0, a step up from the version 4.2 used on the EXOS-9.

But the biggest difference between the two models is the driver setup. While they both have 6.5" dual-coil subwoofers, the similarities end there. The EXOS-9 has a total of 5 active drivers, including 2 midrange speakers and 2 tweeters. The EXOS-10 gets by with only 3 active drivers: the subwoofer and two 2.75" full-range drivers. The other two drivers you see on the front are actually just passive radiators (and there's another pair of them on the back). As for sound quality, you'll have to wait for a YouTube review comparing the two.
