Why do the A/D conversion before the phono? I thought the 8C can take analog via xlr?

The 8c is a digital speaker. Everything that goes into that analog input gets digitized. Cleaner signal path to keep things digital.
Also, no reason to spend any budget on a fancy analog output section for the phono pre or preamp.
If you have used or old records, there are advantages to doing de-clicking before RIAA eq.
Every aspect of the Park Audio products is a win.

@Martijn Mensink Nice!
Do they have any plans to come up with a floor stander ? Or is that anathema? Instead could I use a passive speaker with eversolo room DSP. Speakers are also furniture for me so looking for wood finish floorstanders with room correction.
Plans for a smaller 8C but not a floorstander as far as I am aware.
ATC make traditional active speakers including floorstanders.

Could you elaborate on "direct sound range"? Ive not had 1237s, but in my room at 4m the D&D were slightly better than Kii Three, 8361s and 8260s. (I've tried a lot, maybe too many)

Teasers on social media for the 6C are out:
"Small by design. Expandable by choice"
Wonder if there's an optional sub ?

What else could "expandable by choice" mean? Mid-bass modules?
But that doesn't seem like a D&D thing, it's not "sleek" enough. Besides, I can't imagine a world where a rumored '6C' can't punch out enough mid-bass on its own.
They promised the proper sub integration firmware will be soon for the 8c, this might be the motivation to finally do it. I'm assuming a lot of the software and electronics will be shared with the 8c.
Agree; I bet the expandability is the sub. Have to wonder whether there is going to be much advantage to the 8c over the 6 if you are using subs. Will be interesting to see the final details....

The Dutch & Dutch 6c will be there !
I think Martin mentioned elsewhere they’re not making their own sub in the near future, but it could be a fuller development of the sub out functionality to be used with other subs
