[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8338562, member: 574798"] Running in active mode means that each speakers is being powered through a separate channel. For example a 2 way component set with passive crossovers, you only need 2 channels of amplification whereas active you need 4 channels for the same setup. The difference is with active you separate the frequencies [B]before[/B] any amplifcation and with passive you split it through the crossover they give you [B]after[/B] you amplify it. [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_9_3trBHkPf0/TQpx27jEi3I/AAAAAAAAANI/Gzoa0q67nf0/s1600/active-passiveSpeaker.gif[/IMG] Setting up in active mode is a bit more complicated and takes more time to get right but can be very beneficial for someone who likes to tweak the sound. You get the flexibility to control each speaker individually instead of it already been pre-tuned for you. There's also passive bi-amping which gives you a little more control of each speaker but still is hindered from the passive crossover which is right in between fully active and passive.
