The rise of active speakers with DSP has the promise of simpler systems that can have flatter in-room frequency response. When you compare what the Kef LS50 costs to the LS50W and what each offers, it's apparent that such integration also lowers costs.
What are the current "speaker trends" in your opinions?
Be it cones, stats, horns, planers ...or whatever other technology, is there anything new/worthwhile out there? I know that there was the AMT "air motion transformer" of the ESS days,etc. Many technologies advance and sometimes refinements of existing technology is the mainstay. I am not real current in my readings or notice of advertising/reviews and would appreciate anything readers can share.
