Your thoughts on active loudspeakers

It makes so much sense to take all that wire and inductors out of the signal flow to the speakers.  With so much focus on speaker cables, I wonder how many people realize how much wire is part of a large air core inductor used for LF crossovers?  Then all that after the amplifier at speaker level? That will seem so ancient in 20 years time.  And yes, no reason you cannot use your own amps if you can get the crossover right and the power right..

Great when done right....ATC would be my first choice.

Your thoughts on active loudspeakers

For me with big ESL’s and large bass units  20hz -150hz
Active xover for the bass yes for me. But not for the mids/highs, they always sound "etched" and loose their "musical ease", become in your face.

With total active speakers it’s the same for me, either the (analog active xovers that are full of opamps) or the (digital domain xover if used that way) which btw "waists out" your good dac as they come after it, or the cheaper types of amps used in active speakers.

You don't mention price but I would look at Dutch and Dutch 8c  and Genelec the Ones. Ignore comments about cheap class D etc.. for the price there isn't a passive speaker around that will do what these can do.
