A question to the amp experts here.
I read a review by John Darko on the Kef LS50 saying: "Experience tells us that we’d need to spend close to US$10K on matching amplifier and DAC to get this kind of audible performance from a pair passive LS50 ".
I don't really understand the statement. Is this true?. I mean, what can bring an amp to a passive speaker that can overcome the limitations of passive crossover?. A super amplifier can make a passive speaker sound as good as an active speaker?.
