[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 6840400, member: 607015"] I chose that article because it came to mind quickly, and I thought others who were interested in this topic might benefit from it and possibly start seeking more information for themselves instead of letting people on this site fill their heads. So you truly believe that there's no real advantage, either audible or measurable, to having the voice coil connected directly to the amplifier circuit rather than going through yet another series of reactive elements (inductors, resistors, and capacitors - Oh my!) before the voice coil (obviously also reactive) is connected to the amplifier circuit? I'm not trying to get down on you man, but if you believe that, you would benefit from further reading. And simply because I wish to call you out on a particular topic, doesn't mean it's wise for you to assume that I have a bias toward one or the other. I regularly build my own passive networks and I believe both passive and active filters have their place and purpose, concerning both cost and performance. Either approach can potentially surpass the other where cost is involved, depending on what direction you wish to take things. There are very few, if any, passive networks that could potentially surpass the performance of an active setup when everything is done correctly. That's not including the massive flexibility that's inherent to an active setup. See, with that you can now begin to assume that I may favor one over the other. [/QUOTE]
