Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

RE: Forgive me if I ask, but are you sure they are active Matrix 1s?

I kinda like B&W speakers and with the Matrix they did good things with the cab but they were always held back by their overly complex passive crossovers which rob power and control. This should not be a problem with these.
All else being equal I prefer active speakers with average amps to passives with excellent ones.
I'd be tempted to buy them just to find out how good B&Ws could be.

As long as they work the only thing that could be wrong would be electrolytic caps which may have gone out of spec over time. Fairly easy to replace these if there are any.
