Does anyone make "active" for a large room? I have actives KRK Rockit 5 form my "pc" desktop setup and out of a DAC they sound great for the size and cost. I also think most active these days use class D amps for cost, size, heat etc. (I happen to like class D amps)
Case for active speakers
There was a one line mention of this white paper in a recent Stereophile. Thought it might be of interest to a few people.
