"30 Hz standard (127 dB/1m)"
BS!

Klaus, go look at the 0 500C measurments again: At 100 Hz the max spl is 110db and at 50Hz 103db. This is far away from the 127db "spec". They only hit 127 db at 500Hz! Also, distortion in tha bass at 100db is quite high compared to, say a Wilson X1!

For the bass box they give this spec:
Schalldruckpegel im Halbraum
bei 3 % THD in 1 m 116,4 db SPL

Given how false the other maximum spl with 1% distortion spec is compared to the actual measurement I am inclined to believe that this one is also equally optimistic.

"given the obvious advantages of active loudspeakers"

What about the obvious disadvantage of the speaker maker putting in a crappy amp? Makes a big difference you know. Correction features can easily be added with inexpensive DSP, no need to build it in.

"they play louder with less distortion"

You have NO proof of this!! I have even shown you one audiohphile speaker that has much lower distortion.
