Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

Then you know THX-

For your HT calibration:

For your studio:

Good luck with your system.

@I don't know THX Studio Certification, I do know certification are simply a way to make money. Certifications like awards Emmys and Oscars, CAS awards are just to get a stamp of approval from peers. It really doesn't mean anything, having an experienced acoustics person look at your room is the way to go but certifications are only a way to make money for the certification company and Tom.

+1, now go find one

Confusion cure- These are "the best" active/wireless speakers ranging from $500 to $11,000. Speakers like this not only have built in amps, but pre-amps, phono stages, dac’s, and you can use wires if you don’t want the wireless feature. The cost includes everything so you don’t need to spend extra bucks on a stack and rack of gear (or speaker wires). For anyone wanting instant decadence for a sweet price check it out:

"You could spend 2 or 3 times the $11,000 of the Dynaudio Focus 50 and not achieve that level of sound quality"(:24 minute mark)

@thespeakerdude Question for you, seems that dampening factor is a very misunderstood stat, and it has direct factors corresponding to active speakers. My Question for you is, is it possible to get dampening factor correct unless the speaker driver is directly connected to the amp and that system is tested together. Isn’t it impossible to have a real idea of dampening factor unless the amp is connected to a specific driver with a specific speaker cable. Isn’t this an incredibly important factor in designing speakers, another reason why speakers and amps not being designed for each other is utterly silly.
