Active Speakers - will this time be different?

That brings us full circle, end result going active is the ability to eliminate the in room mid bass hump.

Not all active speakers enable the user to EQ the inputs. Eg, for ATC, it’s straight through.

While not a recent “white paper” and possibly self-serving, coming from an active speaker maker, this provides some perspective:

I am taking a months vacation rental and couldn't be without something to listen to so I bought a pair of Cabasse Pearl Akoyas because of ease of travel and completely self contained. I'm not traveling for a couple of months so I set them up in my office which is as bad as it gets acoustically , square dimensions. After letting them room correct and some break-in time they perform way beyond expectation. I have now bought a second home in the meantime and don't want the complexity or expense of the type of systems I have now to bring to the new house. Given my Experience with the Cabasse Pearl Akoya ,their bigger brother the Pearl or a pair of Piega 701 wireless are on my radar. .
