Only if you limit your search to Geetar Center.Seems they're one of the few remaining options ...
JBL, EV, QSC, Yamaha, Peavey are all still manufacturing quality passive speaker...and those are just the well known brands.

Or I find a different seller .. it's how commerce works. But If I sell apples and oranges and too few people buy my oranges and I'm losing money because of carrying costs .. then I focus on what 95+% of the buyers want .. apples.If you don't like apples and all I offer you are apples, sooner or later, you will start eating apples.
Maybe .. but I'm not aware of any manufacturer that priced their active speakers lower than their passive ones, so not sure whether that metaphor works.Or if you like apples but not oranges and I offer you just apples or oranges but price the apples much cheaper, you will probably start eating more apples.

No .. I've been in the actual real world of both over the years.Your getting confused with supply and demand and marketing.
Your unawarness is glaring:Maybe .. but I'm not aware of any manufacturer that priced their active speakers lower than their passive ones, so not sure whether that metaphor works.
Not the same product line .. I'm sure there are plenty of subcompacts priced less than luxury cars too ...Your unawarness is glaring:
JBL SRX815 - selling for about $1,069.95.
JBL PRX815W - selling for about $850.00.

It's not sound quality .. I don't know too many people who actually believe vinyl sounds better than the source material (yes, crap copies can sound worse). It can sound fine, but it's more of a visceral thing .. actively (no pun) taking part of the process and connecting that way.So why is there a increase in vinyl records vs digital music? One can argue that one sounds better then the other but most music is produced and mastered in the digital world, then transferred to vinyl. Yet people will argue one sounds better then the other.
There is a reason musical formats change, and thats marketing.
Are you kidding me? There are plenty of people that will argue that vinyl sounds better then digital.Ever heard the word nostalgia?It's not sound quality ..

I can't force others to be be right ..Are you kidding me? There are plenty of people that will argue that vinyl sounds better then digital.
The customer chose that, not the mfr.The market didn't settle it, the manufacturer just chose to push one or the other. They took away choice.
Many of us did .. some have moved on from there though ..I grew up in the age of clicks and pops and rumble of a turntable and the hiss of tapes and even the aggravating clunk in the middle of a song on 8 tracks.
