For some reason I was convinced it was digi, but you're right. I've got
a feeling the market isn't saturated with either type, so if anyone has
pointers to other brands similar to the AVI's I would also be interested
in that.

Thanks for the pointer. Its for a secondary system etc. etc, so you're
right in that it is already more than I want to spend. Basically the
active architecture has many advantages and I'm out to satisfy my
curiousity as cheeply as possible. Given the Boom's price I was kind of
hoping someone did something similar, without the streaming part, but
with slightly larger amps and drivers.

The AVIs have an active XO, not a digi XO, AFAIK.  No idea why - digi is
surely the plan in that kind of thing.

Used Meridian D5000s often go for £600ish - that would be an old pair,
probably 18-bit.  Much better than AVIs, and fully digital, although it
sounds like even that's more than you want to spend.

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Cheapest active speakers w. digi. x-over

2009-09-23 Thread bhaagensen

Hi,

I know about the AVI ADM9.1. But I was wondering whether there are any
lower priced alternatives with the same architecture. Realistically I'm
looking at *significantly* cheaper than the AVI's. Seeing how the Boom
is priced, one should think it would be doable?
