Why no speakers with remote control tone controls?

I have a pair of fully active Legacy Audio Calibre speakers (They were a special order). No passive crossover in the speakers and each driver has its own amp. The crossover is executed digitally in the Wavelet processor and is controlled by IPad. I also run a single subwoofer with them. I have control of each of the 4 amplifier levels and six bands of fixed tone controls right from my listening chair. I wish there was a little finer control of tone at times, but for the most part it works really well. 

Speaker level tone controls universally suck. The high currents require big connectors in the switches which invariably get dirty. On top of that, the simplicity/complexity of adjusting the tone means you either have a super simple level shift, or you make very complex circuits for each step.


Doing this at the line level, before the amplifier, is a lot easier, and yields consistent results regardless of speaker.


Maybe what you need is a miniDSP unit so you can sit at your chair and adjust the EQ in real time?  You will still need a laptop.


Best,

Thanks all.
