Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Used passive for 40 years, active the last two.

I went from Zenith junk to EV to Altec to high end. Never owned any over 5000.00 thought. Last pairs were 801 Matrix II and Quad 22L2. Picked up a pair of Quad 12l Actives and never listened to a passive at home again.
My current system is too complex to describe, simple description is active sub and active monitors. All three have volume controls. Use a fantastic box that has PGA discrete resistor ladder volume control, electronic crossover, AK4396 based dacs, and a Lyngdorf room eq circuit.
Never used a remote to control anything in my system. Except phone for iTunes.
