Turning the tide... New Active Speakers

Yes, i agree that its very simple to compare a set of active speakers because you don't have to worry about many such variables which are present in normal passive setups.:)

Having active speakers is one thing but having a complete active system is another thing. Active system is discreet version in which you have control over everything.
For a 2 way pure analog active system[not active speakers here] which comprises of :

1. One pair of speakers having woofer and tweeter in each but without passive XO

2. 4 X mono or 2 X stereo amplifiers for example 2X 100W for LF & 2X 30W for HF.

3. A pure analog active XO unit capable of 2-way distribution of frequencies & each XO unit having a separate control to manage it[gain + EQ controls if required].

This is the bare minimum requirement for a complete simple 2 way active system as a whole. The amount of control exercised with such type of system is massive and you have high rate of tweaking/varying it as per your tastes/room environment. But i always go for maximum transparency.

Having an active system makes the chain immune to artifacts which are introduced by non-linear elements to very large degree where as a passive system is so prone that people become mad to such an extent that they tend to buy for example costly interconnecting cables/power cords/speaker wires which usually results in diminishing returns.
