One word of warning for those using small, active speakers - if these have
overload protection (especially if just on the woofers) this can cause
really annoying transient image distortion if this kicks in on just one or
two speakers without you realising it. Took us several weeks to realise
this was happening on a 16 speaker rig using Genelec 8010's - see the
thread on this back in October, 2015.
