Active Speakers


Besides the ATC Active 10 speaker what others suggestions in active speakers are there? They need to be bookshelf type - not floorstanding. Thanks.

The latest and new Active 20 is going to be special. It has the new tweeter as in the 2002 upgraded Active 50's (Seas Excel tweeter with silver coil), plus the SL woofer. Hence a big improvement over 10's and the passive SCM20. At $5500, it is not spare change, but consider that you also have high power mono-block amplifiers (250W x 2 Quad amps) and very nice looking speakers. The Active 20 is strkingly beautiful, with Gloss Black top and bottom, and aluminum chassis. The passive SCM20 used to sell for $4500 and that is without any amplifier, and getting the Active 50 upgraded with Excel tweeter costs $1K. Consider you pay for a pair of speakers with the amps virtually free!
