Are active speakers still worthwhile?

[sigbergaudio]

Yeah, that's what I said in the previous statement. "......that are more recent...." Are you not following?

I'm trying. The article is explicitly about modern speakers (as evidenced already in the title containing "the second wave"), so I then apparently don't understand what you mean by your sentence: "Active speakers (and their advantages) have been around since before Bruno was born." <- what's your point here? This is at odds with what you apparently grasped, namely the fact that all the advantages have not been around all that time.

You call it "better" I call it a "trade-off." Is that really a debate you want to have?

Given how aggressive you are out of the gate after two posts, I guess not.

Active speakers have their perks, but with how good modern passive designs like the C6B are, plus easier upkeep, going passive feels like the smarter move now.

Huh?

active speaker is the future.
