Aktiv passive

Is that a Linn Aktiv?

 

[Audio Maniac]

I have both passive and active speakers.

Anyway, my main setup uses a pair of passive speakers.

Does that mean passive speakers are 3 times better or 3 times cheaper? *unknw*

Possibly a bit of both.

Mine weren't exactly cheap but I already had the pre / power and wasn't going to get rid of it. Not that I am aagainst actives in the right circumstances.

Meanwhile, back at the poll ..........

...it means that a totally non random sample group of geeky wierdos from a HiFi forum have some active and passive speakers.

So in other words. A pretty meaningless and only slightly interesting poll. 🙂

Some may be weird but geeky? Come on, I bet less than 10 percent actually own an anorak. 🙂

Not true. Don't even have a thermos flask. *blum3*

Hi steve_1979

it is, so not active in the polls context. However, Linn do make some rather nice active speakers.

 

[RobPollard]

Both! Passive front bookshelf speakers and an active subwoofer. Very good sound for a relatively small amount of space 🙂

 

[Diamond Joe]

Main system is passive, I did look at actives when I last upgraded my speakers but I rejected them for some reason that eludes me at the moment, so no plans for actives in the near future. I do have a Sonos Play 5 in my bedroom, that's active I think.

13 active, 30 passive and 14 with both.

Also 2 of the passive owners are looking to change to active in the near future.
