I went with active monitors (ADAM)in my main system, primarily to get out of the "this amp with that cable, and this particular speaker, vs......"
Didn't have the stomach for another round of that stuff. Audiophiles don't cotton to actives IMO because they remove a lot of the customization (for better or worse) that you can get with passive speakers. My feeling is that "per-dollar-spent"...actives deliver more performance. I liked the fact that each driver is connected to it's own amplifier that was custom designed for THAT particular driver, and not a generic load. I doubt that I would have been able to achieve the same results by swapping amps and cables in a passive set up. I'm really happy with what I got, and it would take a demonstration far more compelling than "passive is just better" to convince me otherwise. Actives for me thank you. -- Curt962 Transporter...Touch....Boom...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Curt962's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31949 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86483 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
