| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Here's an update:I just got Paul Spelt's ZERO-Box with a custom built set of ANTICABLES & they are so incredible - even without the 100 hour suggested burn in period.My Sound Stage just BLEW UP and I now have the system of my dreams!It was lik... | |
| Golden Rules for Cable & Power Cord Arrangement Great comments! Thank you. | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? I just bought a pair of used Vandersteen 3A Signatures. I have them on my Krell (out of expediency) and love the bass, but I'm not getting a broad soundstage. Once I put my tube gear on that should change.Anyway, it's a big upgrade for me!Thanks t... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Which is better? 1. To hear 100% of the sound with only 2% that is perfect or 2. Hear only 2% of the sound perfectly, but miss the other 98%?Assuming you have enough SPL to fill the room is it better1. To add another amp and speaker or 2. To buy t... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Once upon a time two friends went to a concert, but only had one pair of tickets.The friend who got in to hear the show sat center stage and listened to beautiful line array of speakers.The friend who didn't get in also sat center stage, but behin... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Chew on this: Those of you with colossal amplifiers running two speaker systems are the sonic equivalent of a Lamborghini on a mini golf course. You still look great at 3 MPH, but you have no idea hood good things get once you get on the autobahn.... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? zd542, I agree that change for the sake of change alone is not good, but wouldn't you rather have a system that you could grow into as your needs, taste, and budget change? I'm just proposing an alternate path to building a system. Wouldn't it be ... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? I will probably get wonked on the head for saying this, but I'm going to make this argument anyway:A Line Array of speakers is more efficient and makes better use of the amplifier than non-arrayed speaker. Sonic qualities aside the main job of an ... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Building a Line Array of Speakers might be too much to ask of most home users, but if a speaker builder went that route and allowed the home consumer to choose a line sub, a line mid and a line tweet - instead of putting it all in one box, it woul... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Al, combo filtering effect can not be ignored and I agree that a homogenous set of speakers would sounds best (on paper), but at least in my case the befits out weighted that particular set back.Audiophiles bi-amplify. Do they build line array spe... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? I'm having a lot of fun wiring speakers together. I have two in series and one running in parralel per channel on one amp at 12 Ohms - all PASSIVE. The sum sounds more than the parts, if you align things right. I have my cabinets mostly laid on th... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Onhwy61, I was looking at the Emerald Physics speakers. | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? The speakers I'm considering have no box and the DSP is supposed to optimize your room. They are bi-ampable so I could use my Krell there and keep my Cary & Atma-sphere up top.Sounds good on paper, but how are they in the real world? Probably ... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? Martykl, I like your hybrid crossover set up. Are you all solid state? If you had a tube amp on the passive crossover and a solid state on the active crossover, do you think the mid/bass frequencies (or wherever the crossovers meet) would blend we... | |
| Any thoughts on passive v. active speakers? I see how adding an active crossover might cause some time delay or other coloration, but if they are built by a good component builder with matched parts that would go a long way, no?I like the theory of active crossovers and I'm would imagine so... |
