Seriously considering the purchase of a pair of active speakers. AVI's have hit the note with their ADM 9.1 setup. Has anyone heard these? Any other brand that will fit the bill around the 1000 - 1200 price range.
I know AVI have a good reputation for speakers and component quality and the all in cost (Speakers, Amp and from what I have read a very good DAC) these are my starting point.
Any significant disavantages with using actives over passives (excluding the obvious upgrade options) .
Could I expect a significant improvement in sound compared to my current gear if I was to move over to a PC based system
EDIT....lets ignore the controversy over CD vs PC/Mac as I am already using my PC to stream. More interested in the improvements to Amp and Speaker.
