Weight and refinement in a still-slender floorstander format: that's the combination so many people love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Active Twenty5.23i?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it takes the virtues of the best-selling passive model and follows them through to the end. Active crossover, 2 × 100 W per cabinet and a long ATL turn the elegant floorstander into a speaker that fills medium-sized rooms with transparent, authentic dynamics – with bass down to 28 Hz that never thickens up. You don't need an amplifier stack, just a source with volume control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open, honest sound with effortless depth and a cleanly layered stage. Voices sound natural, instruments get room to breathe. The .23i never pushes itself forward – it simply does what's on the recording, patiently at any volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Active Twenty5.23i for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants a full-grown floorstanding speaker with high-end ambitions, without setting up stands or stacking power amps. \u003cstrong\u003ePlainly:\u003c\/strong\u003e for very large rooms with high level demands, the bigger .24i is the more honest choice.
