Obviously @brianlucey likes his DACs, amps, and speakers, and how they are connected, but they are but one combination and even assigning a ranking, like 3rd best DAC made or best amp you can buy is purely one person's opinion, no matter how exper...

Yes, you do have full control over the drivers - if the context implies the omission of a passive cross-over with dedicated amp channels looking directly into each driver section. Any "next level direct driver control"-claim (my own wording) esse... 
QSA Power Jitter Power Conditioner, anyone tried it?
I think this is what @tablejockey is trying to say:   https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/4-in-1-15-Amp-Household_1600054164783.html  
Hi-end audio is a big zero
You also have automated room correction, and a much better understanding of acoustics, so unless you are stuck in being a failed purest, you can get way more out of the equipment you have than you could in the past.

@electroslacker , There are 27 cities over 1 million people in North America. Let's say you have 3 products with an average price of $4,000. That is $300,000 in inventory. Many of these companies are small.

What’s left in regards to fitting an amp section with a driver ditto can as well be handled with the careful choice of an outboard approach, with even better amps and what fits a given listener’s preferences and specific acoustics to boot. One ...

@donavabdear / @brianlucey  Are you hearing any rumblings in regards to a heavy push on concert pay per view, both delivered in specially equipped theaters and for home?   Our growing world means far too many large markets for performers to perfo...

You don’t seem to understand, in detail, what that Trinnov does. Even in L&R Mode, it is applying corrections at the speaker level. https://www.trinnov.com/en/blog/posts/trinnov-optimizer-features-according-to-l-r-excursion-curve/   FULLY ...

I feel I must further take issue with labelling any amplifier the best on its own. Amplifiers and speakers form a system. Colleagues would argue, correctly I must accept, that amplifiers, speakers, and the room form a system. No amplifier is the b...

@brianlucey please do not emphasize on incorrect. The MM3 is an active speaker. There is absolutely no denying that. In this case, only the woofer is an active system, but it proves out it works, and it is superior, even in what are, in your estim...

Perhaps my expectations are too high to expect adults to tone down the insults and chest pumping, and discuss this subject in something other than falsehoods and misconceptions, a subject, you may guess, is near and dear to my heart.

Fact is @brianlucey, that your MMThree Exact is an active speaker, and you don't seem to understand this. The woofer section is powered, and shapes the frequency response of the amplifier to enable a very low -3db point. Your primary monitoring sp...

@kota1 I do not want to speak for someone else, but my interpretation of the analog is that it is part of the process flow for mixing, as opposed to the now ubiquitous digital workstation. That would imply at least one additional digital to analog...

Please don't shoot the messenger on his first post.  I appreciate Brian's music, but there is a glaring incongruity in his position that I am surprised all the experts here have not noticed. The MMThree / MMThree Exact is an active speaker. It ha...
