... no Linkwitz for me in the near future.That's not even taking into account 20+ piece-of-shit opamps in series, in a state-of-the-art ASP crossover, placed in front of piece-of-shit ATI multi-channel amplifiers (which of course do not affect sound quality in any way), connected to his state-of-the-art speakers, pushed hard together with those POS amplifiers.
"10 - Provide 8 channels of power amplification of 40 W/channel minimum. Low distortion, low output impedance, solid-state amplifiers are preferred.
* Alternatively, a well suited 12 x 60 W or a 6 x 180 W amplifier is available through Linkwitz Lab.*"

When did you hear them?
I've always wondered how they'd play...

You are participating in one at this very moment.
When it comes to audio, I am a paganist - which shouldn't be surprising, considering that I lean that way when it comes to music, too.
It's the monotheism in audio that I object to.
...- theism?
What about "true believers"?
Some would say the whole high-end audio industry (listeners too) is one. :)
There's so much self-deception and intellectual dishonesty going on that many times it's impossible to tell what's not. :)
At least nobody's forcing anybody to buy anything. People are perfectly free to keep their wallets in their pockets.

I have no experience with active speakers and so have no opinion on their possible merit over a passive design.
The Orion seems awfully complicated, but those who have it seem to believe it was worth it.
Is it the design, the sound or active speakers that you don't care for?
Behringer Truth wins...
And
More from DIY Audio
Especially the fact that it's coming from not exactly "audiophile" camp, either.
All speakers make compromises. Different configurations make different compromises. What ever you value you most and/or hate the most will enter into which type of speaker sounds the 'best' to you. That's true for Linkwitz also.
I've heard his latest design. And it's really excellent. And, for what it's worth, I use conventional box speakers that are also excellent.
And perhaps you can forgive Linkwitz a bit. For whatever you think he's done badly, he developed the Linkwitz/Riley crossover which is used by tons of designers because it's really good and responsible for a lot of the improvement in reproduction since it came out.
