Active Analog Speakers Reviews
10 September 2022
Established in 2002, MJ was originally started by ex-REL employees that sought new ways of doing things. This led to the brand being the first to offer presets and remote control for adjustment from the listening position, all the way back in 2004. Now, I will be reviewing two relatively compact but high quality subs, one from the Reference Series and one from the Master-Class Series.

Aequo Audio Stilla Active
premium
After having reviewed the Hybrid (partially-active) Aequo Stilla, the model under review here concerns the fully active version. Whereas the hybrid Stilla still requires the use of an external amplifier, the fully-active Stilla contains internal amplifiers for all of its drivers, thus eliminating the cost and worry of using an external amplifier while freeing up extra space in the listening environment.

While sleek and elegant in appearance, these are not lifestyle products but seriously high-end speakers that tick all the audiophile parameter boxes. All it takes is a single demo to understand their brilliance.

REL Quake II and Strata III
premium
The Strata III is an older type than the Quake II but it was more than twice as expensive, and is considered by many to be better.

These remarkable powered speakers certainly are eyecatchers. I liked them immediately but the steep price kept me from buying them.
