Has anyone heard or does have an opinion about these speakers from Decware:
http://www.decware.com/newsite/dm944.htm ?
I could not find any reviews on the web.
Any opinion, even based on specifications, is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter

Those look great! I can tell you ribbon tweeters are amazing!

I think you should buy them.

edit: they seem affordable and have a 5 year warrenty!

on second thought you should read this review(download in pdf), and buy some r6a's

Thanks familyman,
I have not really considered active speakers up till now but I might and the Rubicon R6a's look as quite a deal. What I like about the Decware speakers is that the crossover is quite high at 8 kHz, with a single driver handling frequencies of most instruments and human voice. I read someplace that using a crossover introduces the problem of time and phase incoherence and would like to find a speaker as much time-coherent as possible.

From Ribicon r6a owners manual:"active crossover utilizing multi-pole design for linear response from bottom to top."

"The monitors crossover has been carefully designed with high quility componants insuring a linear frequency and phase response."

"Crossover frequency: 3khz, 4 pole(24db/oct) filter"

Also my "Girlfriend is going to kill me..." thread has a lot of info on the r6a's also.
