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.
Interesting, I like the very brief scene where surf is breaking on the beach nearby. Paradigm? It's not the electronics, simply move on.

Why would @donavabdear downgrade from the Genelecs to the Focals? |
Paradigm? It’s not the electronics, simply move on. +1- he knew he should have used active speakers from the get go and got side tracked. Hit the bid on the passive speakers that didn't get the bass right, the buzzing subs, the amps that burn tubes so fast you can cook bacon on them, the speaker wire and make bank. Now you got funds for the ACTIVE Focals and the room treatments (wife approved variety of course). Keep the Genelecs. |
Focal both pioneered and perfected the beryllium tweeter design. Incredibly light and rigid, beryllium is said to offer a faster, more linear transient response than titanium or aluminum designs. Its only real downside is that it’s poisonous if ingested, so no licking the tweeters… and no, you’re not supposed to touch them, either! The Trio6 Be is a triamplified active design. There’s a 200 W Class G amp for the 8” driver, a 150 W Class G amp for the 5” driver, and a 100W Class AB amp on the tweeter. The Trio6 Be has a range of 35 Hz to 40 kHz with a 115 dB SPL. You couldn’t do this type of amplification in a passive speaker for this much money. It would be crazy triamping with 450 watts per speaker and an outboard crossover. https://recordingmag.com/resources/featured-reviews/focal-trio6-be/ |
