[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 3563373, member: 549629"] Ive considered piping in several times, but I cant get past your "I dont believe in fronts only" comment. When your thinking has a fundamental flaw in it, and you've already decided you wont change your mind, Im not even sure how to address your questions. Hear me out... Nobody runs fully active front and rear... nobody who knows what they are doing anyway. Ask around if you dont believe me. Go to ECA and ask all those SQ gurus about running rears in any form of SQ setup. Then ask yourself why no big competitor, or even serious SQ enthusiast that knows much, agrees with your conclusion. You asked why the comment was made on being difficult to tune.... isn't it obvious? You yourself already know you are bucking the mainstream with your theory that rear stage is necessary in SQ vehicles, so why play like you have no idea why people say it will be hard to tune? Rear speakers with tweeters, are definitely not 'rear fill'. Seems the popular trend these days is to pop whatever rear speakers you want in, and then try to claim some form of clinging to SQ rules by just calling it 'rear fill'. Rear fill consists of a speaker that is bandpassed, generally playing nothing over 5khz. And its atenuated down to not draw attention away from the front stage, where your attention should be. If you can actually hear the rear speakers playing, at any point in a musical passage, they are not set up as rear fill correctly. Running a 'fully active system' is actually not that complicated, in some ways its simpler and more elegant than running a passive network. Your h/u, or a sound processor, splits the freqs, which each then have their own channel of amplification before being sent to the speakers. [/QUOTE]
