Who has gone fully active? What speakers and preamp did you end up with?

Luxman C900u preamp, ATC 50 active floor standers.  ATC SCA2 preamp underway which is Class A and fully discrete.  We'll see.

@patrickdowns I have heard the Dutch and Dutch and they sound good BUT they are DSP based and if memory serves me right, they down sample everything down to 64 khz. I also didn't like the fact that they needed a connection ran between both speakers. I do really like the active ATC speakers. They don't use DSP's and sound amazing.

@willywonka - That I don't know. One cable to connect speakers doesn't seem much of a compromise, to me. YMMV

Two thumbs up for Active ATC with a tube pre-amp like the Canor Audio Hyperion P1. SCM100ASL or SCM150ASLT - shockingly fabulous. Also great with ATC's own top pre-amp SCA2.

Atc active 50s. Paired with Supratek Cortese LCR phono preamp. Atc impedance is crucial to match with a preamp, most tube preamps aren't neutral enough or able to have low enough impedance to match Atc. And that's defeats the purpose of Atc if you can't get the impedance within the parameters. I lived with the stick tubes for some time but eventually started rolling them. After several tube rolling rabbit holes I followed a recommendation of another Supratek owner who swapped out the two 6sn7 tubes with an adapter for quads, went with NOS (1942s in my case) 7193 2C22 Ken Rads and the rest was history....glorious sound...oh and later added cold extruded pure silver XLR Interconnects hand made in Australia which took to another level.
