My opinion: Another benefit of active speakers are improved dynamics, there are no passive components between the amp and the speaker and that also clearly improve the dynamics... Improvement dependent on the complexity of the filter, ref the extremely complex filters in some B&W models, that "steal" power and dynamics.... -Harald N -- haraldo Suse Linux -> SB3 -> Benchmark DAC1 -> Krell KAV400xi -> Meadowlark Kestrel2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ haraldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13472 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42808 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
