I just had to Google those Jamie, I'd never heard of them. They look interesting, but not something I'd be likely to splash out too much money on I think.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
supposed to be very good. I'd get them if the price isn't silly.

The tweeter looks like a variant of the Vifa D25. It works well enough, but maybe not the last word in refinement. Best have a listen to them if possible.

There's a review and measurement of them in an old issue of an American magazine, I think it was 'Audio Review', I was reading it a couple of months back. I'll see if I can find it again.
From memory they were exceptionally good in pretty much every respect.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

cheers ,i have probably read all the internet has to offer,the big question for me is how they compare to ns1000's,i have spoken to a guy on the wam who has both and says the JB! go lower as opposed to the more tighter bass of the yamaha's so it may be a sideways step,the fragility of the active 1 is somewhat of a concern though plus id have to source a decent pre amp.
Fragility?

yeah as in the amps inside.more than a few posts on the net regarding faults
right, well I suppose they are getting on for forty years old so problems wouldn't be that surprising, I doubt the amps are inherently any more fragile than any other amplifier though.
If you can get them for a couple of hundred then do it and do your own comparison with the Yams. What anyone else thought is of little value - different room, different partnering equipment, different music, different preferences in presentation etc.
