That takes main disadvantages of active speakers - inability to invest over time and upgrade gradually - one step further. I, for one, would not be interested, especially considering that such system of relatively high quality would be simply cost-prohibitive.
That's not even touching on the subject whether speaker enclosure is appropriate place for a high-quality amp (it is not, in my and many others' opinion).

Class D amps are definitely suitable for putting into speaker enclosure. But, opinions on whether they are suitable for high-quality audio reproduction, let alone for $30,000 (or $50,000, as in ADAM's flagship model) speaker system, differ shall we say drastically.

But instead obsess about non-issues to the point of making themselves hear things that no other human can hear. In fact Audiophiles hearing is so acute that they can HEAR what they READ! Meaning if they read something has .000001 of some negative affect and another product has .00001 of that affect they can actually HEAR the difference. But they have to read it first...:-)
Audiophiles hear with their eyes and imagination. There is a reason why Expensive "LOOKING" Products sound so good.

The latest issue of VoiceCoil magazine has an interesting article on a new product from a new company that allows savvy DIYers/Audiophiles to effectively multi-amp their existing speakers or new designs. The product is not unlike the offering from Hypex in that it's a "plate amplifier" with digital crossover and amplifiers built-in. It comes with software (that presumably supports measurement capability) and allows you to emulate any number of conventional analog filter topologies (LR, Bessel, etc). The Hypex product uses their own Class-D amplifiers (which are excellent) and this new offering uses B&O Class-D amps.Edit: The name of the company is Digmoda and the product is called "D-Pro".
