Do active speakers have high THD amplifiers?

I know this OP if I couldn’t get the specs, I’d really REALLY doubt that I’d be buying their equipment. That being said. I don’t think active speakers or active crossovers are the best without some consideration.

Just like a passive XO requires GREAT parts and more than a little thought.

I use a First Watt Active XO that is chock-a-block full to the top with WiMa caps and Vishay copper resistors.. NO op amps in sight.. Has a switchable step baffle that is pretty cool for OB bass boost..

I also use 2496 actives from Behringer. 300 hz and down.. with 12K Class Ds directly coupled.. That is one of the reasons active speakers have better bass driver cone control..

Directly coupled to the drivers vs going through a passive OX. There is NO DAMPENING with a passive. An inductor or cap in the way. It can’t physically work.. Only the return springs on an active drivers.. Short internal leads and active XOs make for good bedfellows..

Again, parts quality, BUT the size of parts on the active side are MUCH less expensive because of the much smaller values..

Krell actives are 5-10k.. LOL they sound good..

See I pay attention George. I’m not just another pretty face :-)

 Their only significant problem is a rather noisy fan..

Behringer NU12000 are the same way.. I have a few (:-)). I can find them for around 375-500. New or refurbished. They have 3 fans. I disconnect 2 of the 3 and put the third over the PS on a mini toggle.

Late night listening I flip the switch off. I have forgot several times and finally left it off. That was 2.5 years ago.. That is a bullet proof class d at 27 lbs.
