Um....you mean like almost every powered subwoofer sold today (including those from Outlaw) going back a decade or so?


Well it will be a pretty boring system if it's composed of 8 self powered subs. What I'd like to see is more on the lines of the Martin Logan self powered speakers; I'd like to see self powered FULL RANGE speakers with optimally matched amps integrated, ready to be driven via a simple and cheap TOSLink optical interface, or via standard analog line inputs.

That would be ideal for me.



Meridian has had something like this for ages. Be prepared to take out a mortgage though.

For the rest of us, I'd be tickled to simply replace my amp with a more efficient digital design. They're out there and the prices are dropping.

Best,
