Hi KlausRAllow me to put some passive loudspeakers into the equation.
Good old KEF seems to produce better and better measuring speakers.20 Years ago Kef and B&W were fighting for the same market segment, now their ways have parted and B&W seems more and more to produce the Sonus Faber way, with all its disadvantages (and advantages?), like slow (6-12 DB/Octave) slope frequency networks, in combination with drives of very different dispersion characteristics at the crossover points. While Kef seems to think, (rightly so I believe!) that better speakers can be developed with measurements, more measurement, and then further measurements.
Just have a look at the measurements taken in Stereoplay of the new Kef Reference 203.2

And then see them confirmed in a for me unknown magazine called Video

I happen to be owning a pair of Sonus Faber Guarneri Hommage, maybe I should convert to a pair of Kef 205.2?! Hmm maybe so…
Best wishes from up here north.
