This is precisely why Phil Jones came out with the Airpulse Model one active monitor. He feels high end audio is shooting itself in the foot and wanted to put forth a quality product at down to earth prices to make it more inclusive for the masses. everyone who has heard them has nothing but great things to say and quite frankly I'm gobsmacked with how good they sound. They are also quite competitive with the LS50's from what I understand for half the price
