This little “interview” is a gem that should be archived. I could listen to you ask Andrew questions for hours.

Andrew is brilliant & awesome!

Someone once told me that a very intelligent person is someone that can explain a complicated idea or theory in such a way that a person with normal intelligence can understand it. That is EXACTLY what Andrew Jones does. No wonder his speakers sound so good.

I'm not an engineer but I understand a lot of the theories behind the engineering and design of these components and this interview really affirmed my thoughts so I feel very happy. Also, great interview. I don't recall other interviews with him to be this interesting so this video had me glued to my computer for a while.

I really like to listen to this man. Having been exposed as a teenager to the "live", but studio event, and listening to what was mixed (all analog multitrack taped era), he explains the reproduction problems with superb insight. He's also right about capturing a live recording. I don't own Elacs, but he convinces me I should try and find somewhere where I can listen to them.

@johndarko when do you expect you will be publishing a review of the Navis floorstander and bookshelf speakers?

When Will the Navis active loudspeaker be available to the public and what will be the cost? Thank You!

If all you care about is great sound and not the trading/experimentation part, active speakers can be amazing, even for audiophiles. You can choose your own turntable setup, CD player and DAC, passive pre/source selector, cables/interconnects, stands, ... All you are taking out is the power amp and deticated speaker cables. It's worth auditioning both options to see what works best. With Kii Three or tons of pro audio products on the market, you'd be silly not to just try it once.
