Very pleased to see so many great suggestions & personal experiences. I had never spent all that time much time on the forum here, as from my browsing, it seemed about 50/50 in terms of knowledgeable people vs less-than-humble people.
I can't respond to everyone necessarily, and I may not remember all the usernames. Feel free to send me a message or ask me to phone you, one fellow did that and we had a good chat.
The DSP vs Analog crossover is the big, big question. It's starting to seem like room correction is going to be essential for future users. I have never use DSP correction, just soft density & accurate systems. Some sort of correction in the low frequencies is necessary, of course. I'm very lucky to just have a small null at 50hz. This null improves the sound of much modern electronic music significantly to my ears, and eases my reluctance to match 50hz in my own masters, if that makes sense.
Joachim Kriesler is known for M.E. Geithain studio monitors of Germany. I am more personally familiar with his older designs <1990. He's brilliant, and his 901-K does not emit rear energy. K stands for "Kardioid" in this case. He isn't the only one doing this sort of design, he's just doing a really spectacular job of it, and is a bit more famous than most people doing this sort of passive acoustic resistance.
