Hi, Recently, we published two videos on YouTube.com about the Dutch & Dutch 8c active loudspeaker (see link below for the first part). They've done things in this speaker that, technically, would be difficult if not impossible with a passive design. So it goes far beyond simply putting amps in a speaker and creating a line-level crossover using DSP. Audiophiles have -- pretty much forever -- resisted active speakers for various reasons. But are some people now ready for them? Are audiophiles finally warming up to the idea? At least some audiophiles? I'll be interested to read your opinions. Doug Schneider SoundStage! |

Nope. DSP is a difference maker. (NT), posted on June 3, 2020 at 16:39:09 | |

Electrostatic I take it? Direct drive to the panels? I'm loving it! How much? |

A bit of a bargain at 19000 Euro? I'm hoping to hear them later in the year. |

Old acoustat X, Beveridge, electrostatics used direct drive tube amps coupled to the panels. |
