Why are we so passive?


In high-end audio the passive speaker is the norm. Active speakers may not be rare, but are definitely uncommon. What's the buzz on active?

Is active just another marketing scheme?
Is there really any difference between active and passive?
Why don't more audiophiles go active?
Why don't more manufacturers produce active speakers?
At what price point, if any, would you consider going active?

Xiekitchen, while it is beyond me to speak for all musicians, the ones that have come accross my path, have tended to be players of music, and listening was reserved for live players, anything else was just background, so it may be incidental what they have, when they can play and produce or listen in on others who can for what they want.
