Yep, always been surprised why most people think power cables are
somehow less of a problem than speaker cables.

Because they can all go to a central power distribution instead of having
to run them all out to an amp rack somewhere. Same amount of wiring, but
they can all go together.

IMO the main advantage of powered speakers is in the crossover if they
use separate amps for each driver. One disadvantage is hoisting the
extra weight onto speaker stands.

Biamping or triamping is pretty common for large installs anyway, but of
course it doubles or triples the weight of the cable from the amp rack to the
speakers....
