Bryston-like DIY-ish Active Speakers

[Kal Rubinson]

It is relatively easy to do with JRMC (which has built-in tools for channel processing, DSP and VST plug-ins) or Roon (lacks plug-ins) and a multichannel DAC.  No preamp needed except for personal convenience.

 

OTOH, it is hard to find a finished speaker without a crossover so your options are to build one (many good kit projects out there) or buy a good speaker and remove the crossover.  In terms of asset management, perhaps a used pair would be the way to go.
