Nothing really new .
Meridian realised in the early 90's that the way forward was digital
active DSP controlled speakers ( other realised that active speakers was
needed in the 60-70's ormpossiblynearlier for pa ) .
The Meridian speakers are not perfect I'm not saying that what I have is

Yep. And especially... With a good active speaker design it's not just
cables. If you do this right you don't need (and don't WANT) DACs,
preamps, power amps, DSPs and all that other stuff that

Yes, I do. Although there's certainly much more potential for good sound
quality than what they offer but for the size they have it's a good
start.

Right concept but in the speaker design they do pretty much everything
that article condemns. Bass-reflex, putting speakers WITHIN a housing
and so on... It's the same kind of integrated approach but I wouldn't
expect superior

It's a Stig Carlsson
Yea, but if you read the article it's EXACTLY the kind of speaker design
that completely ignores phase and impulse response.

Two more choice quotes from the article:
The rarity of such devices suggests that the reasons are not technical
and that the application of logic is absent: almost the definition of
audiophile behaviour.
When the sound from a tablet has rapidly become so good considering the
serious constraints
I know you gentlemen like interesting articles. I thought this one
provides food for thought.
A sample:
The main advantage of component systems is that the dealer can sell
ridiculously expensive cables, hand-knitted by Peruvian virgins and
soaked in snake oil, to connect it all up. That some of

Thanks for the sample, because it's a very good indication that the
article is worthless.
Separates became common in audio systems LONG before there was a cable
market. And do you really think that a dealer selling, say, a $5,000 set
of preamp and amplifier does so only to sell a pair of $500
How about reading the article first ;)
