The End of Speaker Cables.?

@DigiPete will tell you it was (should have been) the end of speaker cables a long time ago. :-)

 

(Meant with full respect to his view that active speakers and digital input with DSP are king)

I think Kal's comment there is seeing this correctly. This isn't about good sound, much less great.

 

OTOH, I am really surprised at this late date we don't have a wireless standard agreed to that allows transmission of lossless digital at either 44/16 or 48/24 material. I think active speakers are the way to go. And a wireless connection of quality would be a great way to do things. It goes against audiophile habits and it would eliminate all this constant flux of gear. I also think a good wireless connection (bluetooth aint it) would be a boon to those wanting a mch rig. I do note as much as I think active speakers are a plus, it actually is easier to run speaker wires all around places than to run balanced XLR's and have a power plug next to your speakers in many cases.

There is WiSA.

 

I agree with your comment about easier to run speaker wires.
