Ahaa! I can see your talented mind is at work again! Is this something you're contemplating designing and building? Something like the powered Von Schweikert DB99 or passive NHT 3.3?
Powered woofers
I'm interested in the experiences and opinions of people regarding speakers using built-in powered woofer sections.
Some loudspeakers use a woofer section that's physically part of the main speakers (not housed in a separate subwoofer enclosure) yet powered by either its own plate amp or a separate dedicated amp. Examples include models from Anthony Gallo Acoustics (the Nucleus Reference 3 can use a separate bass amp), Avantgarde, Definitive Technology, Genesis, Polk Audio, Tyler Acoustics (as an option in the PD 80), Vandersteen, Von Schwiekert, and Zu.
Any and all comments, including additions of speakers that I've left out, are welcome.
Thanks!
