RE: Are Audiophiles Warming Up to Active Speakers?

Doug,

The 8c is just a recent entry in a long history of active speakers. These have been ubiquitous in the pro-sound world for many years. Audiophiles, being audiophiles, have had their heads in the sand on this and many other products that would find excellent use in domestic environments.

BTW, to address some of the complaints in other posts, there is no requirement at all for an amplifier and/or crossover/EQ to be physically located in the speaker itself. In fact, disparate amplifier combinations are certainly possible with an active speaker.

The primary speakers in my listening room have changed through the years, but over the last forty years they've all utilized some sort of line-level crossover with bandwidth splitting and multiple amplifiers.

It's up to you and your colleagues in the audio media to get your heads out of your.....and start exploring more products with concepts like this.

Dave.
