Vandersteens on active speakers and room correction

Fast forward to around 2:16:10 time mark.  It wouldn't be a surprise though
of what he thinks.  "Above 150Hz", he said there is nothing that can be
compared with using high quality capacitors and air coil inductors.  

Below 150Hz I think that's where active makes sense.  Maybe that's
why his high end speakers are using active subwoofer for the bass.

My three most memorable hifi moments were the following but not necessarily in the following order

1. A pair of horn Avantgarde 
2. Thiels CS2.4
3. And Vandersteens 5A driven by some huge tube amps

Of the three, the 5A had the most unique presentation in which I swear I could see the air molecules moving :-)
