I noticed a trend a couple of years ago for self-powered speakers or speakers with built-in powered subwoofers.
I like the idea of a self contained speaker that can go from 20hz to 20khz in a single box but I understand the issues with a built-in sub and non-ideal positioning.
Is the concept of powered "active" speakers still around? Are there any new hot contendors for a full-range speaker that doesn't need monoamps to properly run?
Or have people given up and gone back to the simple receiver -> passive speaker -> boxed powered sub approach?
Thanks for the input!
