[QUOTE="Brian jojade, post: 48895, member: 211"] Re: Moved to Active/Self-Powered or stay passively powered? If you read my arguments for active speakers, you saw that I listed easy adjustment at the speaker as an advantage as well. That one depends on the 'artist' you're dealing with. My experience is that speakers rarely fail unless abused. Amps, on the other hand, I've had fail on me, even if taken care of. It's easy to have a spare amp in the rack and moving over a couple cables brings you back online. In the case of a powered speaker failing, replacement could be quite a challenge, depending on placement. If it's out on scaffolding, or flown, it's sure not an easy swap if something goes wrong. If it's just a speaker on a stick, then yeah, it would be easier. [/QUOTE]
