Pass Labs new speaker is active and they obviously designed the amplification for that model.
One of the nice things about a design like that is that the builder knows exactly what is going into the cabinet, and therefore does not have to design for eventualities that can never take place. The money can be spent where needed rather than to cover any bases.
I don't know if speaker design is that difficult. There are so many studies and papers out there already for a person to use as a reference, that a builder does not ahve to redesign the wheel, so to speak. It would be interesting to hear this setup, but where I live that ain't gonna happen!
If anyone has the chance to hear the Pass Labs or the newer Meridian active speakers, let the rest of us know how they sounded.
