So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...

Read up on the Genelec stuff and it is all active powered by Class D. I have found the only use for Class D, from listening, is as a woofer amp. I also notice a metal dome tweeter also something that traditionally I dont like. But, you never know. I actually like the idea of active speakers provided they use very good amplification. Certainly not much cheaper than the high end audio stuff even with internal amplification. 

Yeah you are right, they doesn’t seem like much on paper....but when you have the chance give them a listen...they may surprise you...

Cheers

The benefit of active monitors like these Genelecs is internally triamped and amps matched to drivers. I’m not a fan of active subs in theory because of heat and vibration shorten amp life.

Elac Navis are huge performance values.

If you hear a difference but your measurement instruments are saying no difference, then there is something wrong with the way you measure. 

You don't go to your doctor to have your ears checked.  That would be a bit odd.  I don't know of anyone who would come to this conclusion.  

Years ago at CES I hear an active German speaker 4 way with early class D probably ICE modules that sounded much better than it should have and so much better I would guess than it would have if this design was passive. I also always favored the active ATC speakers and never liked their passive designs. These experiences have stayed with me many years later and have served as a model of the viability of active speakers.
