What amp for which speakers???
always active...
cons .. weight, price, when the amp breaks... u can't use the speaker...
Advantages... more eficient amping (2 amps 4 each cabinet) means closer 2 linear amping. The crossovers and the all system is designed 2 compensate 4 flaws in the amp/ speakers 2 make the perfect match that will never b achieved with any other amp 4 the same speaker.
my 2 cents,

yep bang on zm
Agreed 100%. Mackie HR824's here - passive speakers are designed to function reasonably well with a wide range of amplifiers; actives are designed to function as a single perfectly matched machine. With that in mind, you can't really 100% trust specifications from a passive speaker, as the amplifier will always flavor the sound slightly.
