Actives will be the future. Bi and tri amped, crossover done in digital domain, eq settings. Many times, actives will beat a hodge podge thrown together rig. System synergy is hard to achieve at times
Who actually uses digital speakers?
Of course, @atmasphere is about to jump in and say "no such thing as... " so before he jumps into the fray, what I mean is, who uses active speakers with digital inputs?
The biggest brand I know of who invested in this in a big way was Meridian which I believe had not just S/PDIF but a custom digital interface as well. With the advent of plate amps with S/PDIF inputs standard I'm wondering how many audiophiles have made the jump to active speakers using the digital inputs?
What are you using and what is your experience like?
