Besides personal component matching,one major problem would be vibration isolation.Tube and solid state amplifier components have microphonic problems from vibration.That is one reason Wilson Audio,Orpheus,along with other speaker manufacturers use isolated crossovers of some sort.
Is active speaker the future?
I know at least Linn and Meridian are making active speakers and they claim that it sounds much better than passive speakers. Linn and Meridian are well known for source but not well known for amp and speakers. The truly dedicated famous speaker maker like Rockport, Wilson Audio and JM labs only make passive speakers.
CD player is dying and digital source player is changing so fast. Speaker hasn’t had any fundamental change for a long time. Active speaker is not new, but will it be the future of the speaker and will we see light on/off or lcd display on most of the speaker?
