Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System?


.
In a pair of active speakers, you have removed the high end amplifier from from the equation. The amps on an active speaker will probably be class D plate amps.

All of the flowery adjectives to describe high end amps and high end speaker cables in a system go right out the window when using active speakers.

Is a serious active full-range tower speaker a high-end audiophile possibility? I rarely read about active speakers on this forum in a two channel system.

Just wanted to throw the Linn Klimax speakers into the mix, which include built-in their excellent Klimax Chakra amps. (They use SMPS, but are not truly Class-D amps, I believe).
Hi Bob

Yep - that's true. But it does time alignment and room correction which some say lifts it well above conventional active.

As with all thing audio opinions vary.

Thanks

I think we have all forgotten about the Acoustat X and Beveridge 2SW-2. Not high end enough for you Bhobba?
