Eminence chrome label speakers are different than the earlier ones. I spoke with Wayne Parham (sponsor of the Pi forum here) about this very thing not more than a week ago. He said there was enough difference in chrome-backed speakers that he had to make some minor design changes of some sort. Wayne has kept a close eye on Eminence models and changes over the years, so you might talk to him about specific details. (Pi gets great prices on Eminence speakers too, by the way.)
From what I understand, Eminence is kind of fickle about the way they talk about product changes. Sometimes they don't admit to changing, other times they talk about how changes have evolved and improved their speakers. What I'm told is that Eminence keeps specs of the updated models compatible with the older ones. In that sense, the speakers are the same. They have made improvements though, mostly in the voice coil for power handling, I think. There may be other side effects. See the link or write on the Pi forum for more details.
