As with everything, streaming implementation costs and can affect the engineering of a product, so get a speaker with it included only if you intend to use the feature. Which active speaker you choose should really be based on how much source integration you require. Some active speakers like the Dali speakers below are just that and require sources to be connected to them many, though, now have Bluetooth and even network streaming integrated, essentially making them all-in-one systems – such as the KEF LS systems below. ![]() That means the components can be optimised for precision rather than pure power handling, resulting in a potentially better integrated, more precise sound. These models are fed by an 'active' powered crossover that works at a much lower voltage than their passive cousins. So, a two-way speaker with one tweeter and one mid/bass driver unit will have two power amplifier modules, one for each driver (or 'way'). ![]() These have amplifiers built in as well, but this time they have one amp dedicated for each 'way'. These are referred to as 'powered' and this method is represented by most of the more affordable products on this list – such as Elac, Ruark Audio and Q Acoustics. There are also speakers that are passive in nature but still have an amplifier built in – often squirrelled away into one of the two boxes.
