One thing to consider is that many of the more affordable active options on the market are just not pleasant to look at. I'll assume given the price range of the equipment in your system (very similar to my own) that the higher end active gear (ex. ATC) is not a consideration here.
I have considered going the active route for a while to make my system less conspicuous - but always find that the homely active monitors with their visible lights and controls, and/or stylized drivers defeat the purpose. Why don't they offer grilles for these things - even as an option? -- esbrewer Server: 2.4GHz Intel iMac running Mac OS 10.6.4, SBS 7.5.1, Inguz DRC Sources: SB3 (2), SB Boom, SB Radio, NAD C542, NAD T515 Amplification: NAD C720BEE Loudspeakers: Paradigm Studio 20 (v.1), SVS SB-12 Plus Headphones: Grado SR60, Etymotic ER4P http://www.last.fm/user/esbrewer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ esbrewer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80289 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
