Who actually uses digital speakers?

Of course, @atmasphere is about to jump in and say "no such thing as... "  so before he jumps into the fray, what I mean is, who uses active speakers with digital inputs?

The biggest brand I know of who invested in this in a big way was Meridian which I believe had not just S/PDIF but a custom digital interface as well.  With the advent of plate amps with S/PDIF inputs standard I'm wondering how many audiophiles have made the jump to active speakers using the digital inputs?

What are you using and what is your experience like?

Not me.
 

At least at this time in technology development it does not seem like a compelling configuration. Yes, Meridian was at the forefront of developing and selling this… but they have been slowly disappearing from main stream. I still have a High end Meridian surround processor and HDMI processor… but my discussions with my dealer is they are just fading away.
