Active Loudspeakers

Over the years, have enjoyed “active” in several guises…

Previously

  • Linn Ninka, c/w 3x Linn LK140 + activ cards.
  • Meridian DSP 5200 and DSP 7200

Currently

  • PMC Twenty5. 23i c/w active upgrade kit

There is something really quite unique about the sound - sound quality - of an active speaker system. By designing dedicated power amps, cross over electronics and drive units, all in a complimentary way.

Scale, speed, timing, control, etc.
Attempted to record a more thoughtful description here…

Looking at both ATC and PMC speaker ranges, it’s currently possible to compare passive ( perhaps c/w decent Naim NAP ) and active versions of a speaker and decide for yourself.
