@kota1 absolutely true, I’ve never been in a studio that sounded better than my 2 channel system. I’ve listened to many more pro systems than audiophiles but the audiophiles care so much more the have much more sophisticated systems, they have more expensive systems, they care about the sound more. This makes me think how can the final product be more than the original. it is also absolutely true that the ears of the great engineers like Al Schmitt had experience they knew what great bands voices and pianos sounded like through their speakers they used for years that sounded horrible, they knew what great sound was through their own ringing and dimmed hearing.
Audiophiles listen and describe music in a way that is usually far above the detail that engineers and mixers create. I heard things on my new Genelecs that I’m sure the mixer didn’t hear or else they would have fixed it, there are always limitations in the real world there are none as an audiophile maybe just money, knowledge, and self delusion, like thinking that amps and speakers shouldn’t be made for each other.
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
17 of 23 speakers in my studio and home theater systems are internally powered. My studio system is all Genelec and sounds very accurate. I know the best new concert and studio speakers are internally powered there are great technical reasons to design a speaker and an amp synergistically, this concept is much more important to sound quality than the vibration systems we often buy. How can an audiophile justify a vibration system of any sort with this in mind.
