    Really looking forward to your review of these. Can you please compare the Maria 800 with the 350 amp to see if there are any sonic differences? Also, could you please ask Mark Levinson how his new amps compare with his Mark Levinson ML 50 Limited Edition pre and power amps? Not sure if you have ever heard the latter but they sounded amazing. More natural and sweeter than DAGs. Shame they were made in such limited quantity. Many thanks for sharing

    This is an active dsp'd speaker system with the active part being in the front box rather than in the speakers. It should be compared to other active digital speaker solutions rather than a conventional passive speaker + amp combo. Right off the bat I can tell you one theoretical disadvantage of this system: The long speaker cable runs required compared with the minimally sort runs required in 'conventional' active speakers where amps are adjacent to the drivers. DSP can make small speakers have low bass but at the expense of either low SPL or high distortion, there's no free lunch. Also, that tweeter looks too long, especially with small speakers that tend to be listened to more near field. I assume they will beam like crazy in the vertical dimension.

    • @razisn

      @@net_news These particular speakers cannot play without an active crossover so they are not passive in the real sense. On top of that I'm pretty sure they will sound much worse without their dedicated dsp. They are meant to pair with the external 'amp'.

      That's $80k for a pair of "active" bookshelves! 15 years ago you could get top tier Magico's or Wilson's with that kind money. Today you get "Daniel Hertz" bookshelves.
