And mine :), Sony SRP-f300 DSP, three power amps. 2 TC Sounds 15" woofers in dipole configuration, focal midrange in 200Hz horn made from plaster and Visaton TL16 HF driver (and Smaart Live is used for in room meassurements).
Besides all the technical advantages active has over passive, it's also easier to build a active DIY speaker than a passive one. No worries about mechanical time alignement and differences in sensitivity. And of course inroom response correction.
