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.

Meridian is a company that takes designing things to go together to a completely other level. I have heard their gear (not recommending you change) and while expensive, it sounds great and is absolutely worth it IMO. In a thread on active speakers Meridian is up their with the best for my taste.

I look forward to your new thread.

It is funny how this thread has come full circle, it started with powered speakers being confusing. Now that has been resolved and it seems amplifiers are confusing.😵

OP, score one of these on Ebay or here on A’gon and maybe you can save some budget. 

 

@donavabdear  I don't know how the tubes in your BHK300 can only last a year, did you test them before replacement. They should last a good long time in an input stage.
