Pickups you love or Loathe

Here's a question for Tonyw what causes the EMG 81/85s to sound so compressed is it a magnet type, the windings.or a combination of the both.

It might just be because they are active low-impedance pickups, but I may be wrong.

Some people love them some people hate them, i wouldnt personally touch them because i dont like active pickups, they always seem to be lacking something to my ears.
