Why are the Infinity IRS, Reference 1b, Beta ect speakers passive on the mids and highs?


I would like to know why all of the classic Infinity's and most other brands use passive crossovers for the mid to high transition? I don't think it was for cost and that level. Is passive better? Has anyone compared both to know which is better?

140Hz does seem a little low for the EMIM’s to go down to , my epsilons L-EMIM goes down to 140Hz but it is a large driver, would be nice if the woofers were able to go a little higher.
