actives can ALSO be all that and a bag of chips, especially with bi & triamplification as well as time alignment and equalization as with the avantgarde zeros.
there are no right or wrongs with audio and most gear types can yield excellent results if properly designed.
i like the idea of separates for both the incremental upgrades option as well as the fine tuning possibility... system too sterile? time to get a tube buffer/preamp... too lush? time to upgrade the DAC or swap class D in.
i'm not a fan of overly forgiving sound and lean a bit towards clinical. i might not even bother to get the Z-amp i planned on if it turns out the phils mate fine with the cheap class D amp i'm going to upgrade from my cheesy old technics receiver i bought used. besides, my experience has taught me drangonflys might be a bit too "tubey" for my tastes and class D might be the way to go with that combo.
i need to hear the gear in action to decide how to dial in close to the center between analytical and musical as neither extreme sounds particularly appealing though i probably lean a little towards analytical as i like speed & detail.
