I had several discussions with the inspector and he was referencing the NEC to support his judgment. After reading the NEC sections he quoted it is vague enough where the inspector is within his rights to require an NRTL for passive speakers even if it does not seem to be a hazard. We ended up having an NRTL do a field inspection and mark the speakers on site which satisfied the inspector. I have been advised that Orange County, Florida is very conservative in this respect..............
