Of course, there will be tradeoffs as with any new way of doing things. I understand the vibration damping, etc. But, if properly designed, I feel the vibration issue would be the least of the problems. Good point about the wireless headphones.
I would think it has the potential to exceed the performance level of even the best cables. The only real downside is that it has no audiophile appeal. If as a group audiophiles reject the advantages of active speakers, then active speakers with built-in digital converters and wireless connectivity won't even get consideration. It's a shame.
I've often wondered how that Thiel system sounded. The speakers they are using are amazing as is the sub so given the associated electronics are of the same grade, I bet it sounds damn good. Sure would be easier and eliminate a ton of (pricey in my case) wire. Anyone mess around with that system?
