We are at page 4, I make a bet we hit page 6 easily.

This debate over self made speaker unit is like comparing apples and oranges. Who in the entire hifi business is designing the speaker units themselves and all the electronics in an active way?

Good you said "Hifi"....

Dynaudio comes at least close, they build their own amplifiers, at least they have and their own drivers are widely used by other brands. They just don't sell active reference speakers to consumers, and their pro modells probably use standard amps. Same is true for Focal btw.

Anyway, mostly only Meridian users have understood the benefits of active speakers, plus some smaller brands (like Backes and Müller, etc). otherwise we would see much more active speaker brands in the consumer industry. The others that have understood are left dry and secure in the professional world......
