KEF goes active.

Digital Music Solutions - X300A - Overview - KEF United States

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

Interesting point... these have a digital (USB) input.

 

[musicbee]

Interesting point... these have a digital (USB) input.

Will work without a sound card... actually it will act as a soundcard, DAC, amp & speaker. Simple plug and play the same as headphones.

Wonder how much it will cost.

Per news report price is $800, on par with the Genelec 6010A at least in INR.

 

[jai1611]

$800 in the US.

Exactly. Digital source only required to make music.
