Do Active Speakers Belong In A High End System?


.
In a pair of active speakers, you have removed the high end amplifier from from the equation. The amps on an active speaker will probably be class D plate amps.

All of the flowery adjectives to describe high end amps and high end speaker cables in a system go right out the window when using active speakers.

Is a serious active full-range tower speaker a high-end audiophile possibility? I rarely read about active speakers on this forum in a two channel system.

Sure, as long as having to junk an expensive speaker that can't be fixed holds no fear for you.
Reviews are just useless, some dude writes CD player X has harsh highs, you look at associated gear and see an item or two that are noted for same ets etc etc
Every system in it's room is a law unto itself, which is what makes this hobby both interesting and frustrating .
Not to mention, expensive .
Omsed, I agree with all you said, but I never heard a Symphony Orch. image and I've been in the best halls in the world.
