Active vs passive speaker set ups

[KeithR]

Come listen to this system. I haven't had a person listen to it yet who hasn't said it was the best sound they ever heard.

extremely bold claim considering the forum you are posting on. what are their reference systems?

Why only $80000? That doesn't sound like no-compromise to me.

That's the price point I came to based on my research to build an active system that can beat the very best 2 channel passive systems at the same price point, and use the component's I want to use.

Various system's over the period of decades for some.

Well, I wish you good luck (honestly!). And would call out to the gents: Watch out, maybe Blizzard WILL be the next big designer.
However, I am not sure the big designers brag - or am I just too European

No bragging here. I was asked why I'm going with the $80000 price point, and I answered. There's many ways to skin a cat, I'm just simply working on my way of doing things. Will they be the best available at $80000? not for everyone. This is because everyone has different tastes. But if your going to set a goal, a good starting point should be to achieve higher performance than your competitors are offering at the same price point.
