@thespeakerdude Perfect answer, thank you. DF ultimately = punch in the low end, to be overly simplistic. It would be fun to list silly things that audiophiles worry about, mythology, technical incoherence that is common today.
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.

@kota1 My guess I've owned 75 sets of wireless transmitters and receivers and worked with 1000s. All these systems were professional and expensive usually averaging about $5k each some more some less. If it takes that much money to create a high fidelity wireless system how do they put that level of quality in a wireless speaker, I think the answer is they can't. The companies I dealt with were wireless microphone manufactures, Zaxcom, Lectrosonics, and sometimes Shure. The problem is not the technology it's the FCC, Federal Communication System, they have to coordinate all the frequencies zooming through the air. |
@kota1 I took 6 years of of math and physics in college all pertaining to electronics and sound today I've forgotten 90% ya I'd call that confused. I love Dynaudio but I wonder about a company that can go with a wireless option and still sell such a cheep speaker since I know what wireless circuits cost, that means that the wireless option is not as good as a wire and there will be compromise from the start. A few things confusing in the audiophile world: Vibration dampening systems like very expensive equipment racks Not buying speakers and amps designed for each other Custom fuses Expensive AC cables Speaker cable lifters Records DACs that will let you listen to 256khz Thinking you have a golden ear Pace Rhythm and Timing DSP fixing a system Not understand acoustics Speakers near walls You can hear 20khz, you can't unless you are a baby The music originally recorded at the recording studio was done by people that care about the things you care about in your system psychological factors, confirmation bias = audiophile world more than you think. |
