not if you want sweet tube sound... the myth that one sound will eventually be available that all will find pleasing is what drives some.... but as noted, people at this site are hobbyists who want to fine tune sound to suit an ALWAYS subjective ear and environment. as a voice over artist, my active mini monitors are great but if i want to listen to a musical performance i want tubes and a soundstage that seems organic to MY tastes.
Is active speaker the future?
I know at least Linn and Meridian are making active speakers and they claim that it sounds much better than passive speakers. Linn and Meridian are well known for source but not well known for amp and speakers. The truly dedicated famous speaker maker like Rockport, Wilson Audio and JM labs only make passive speakers.
CD player is dying and digital source player is changing so fast. Speaker hasn’t had any fundamental change for a long time. Active speaker is not new, but will it be the future of the speaker and will we see light on/off or lcd display on most of the speaker?
