I should also mention...

For quite a while now, I've been anxious to see more speaker manufacturers start to use self-powered designs with active crossovers. Yes, much like professional studio monitors, you would have to plug each speaker into an electrical wall outlet. But the benefits of each individual driver having its own, dedicated, tuned amplifier all to itself; plus, an active crossover with tremendously tuneable and accurate filters; it all just seems to attractive to not be considered!

So this new "Ascend Diamond Series" that I'm proposing - if it's going to have extremely high output capabilities like I think it should - one obvious way to help achieve that would be to have the amplification built right into the speaker!
