Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

"If you like to tinker, great. Tinker with the front end. But why tinker matching amps, drivers, and speaker cables when the engineer who DESIGNED the speaker can do it for you at a much lower cost?"

Because it will sound way, way better than integrated junk on the market. How can you not understand that concept? Maybe you’ve just never tried or heard it.

Theoretically when all things are designed with each other, the quality will be the top. But only something like a $1m Audionote system can do that. The products you're talking about (mainstream studio monitoring stuff) is complete crap sounding and matching up some audiophile cables and amps will sound far superior if you know what youre doing.

You do you. Enjoy. 
 

m-db I'm going to make a movie and do the picture editing and sound myself so I bought the equipment, the studio is in my house, the room looks over a beautiful lake but it's not for public consumption. I live in Eagle Idaho, I'm a political refugee from Southern California like everyone else in Idaho.

I have matched Genelec 8351B's with a Genelec sub in a Dolby Atmos configuration with Protools, an Avid Matrix, and s4 control surface. This system is boring it doesn't sound amazing it's simply accurate. If the original recording is great it sounds great. Audiophile systems that are jaw dropping are not accurate they're extra flavored and sound amazing but I needed the most accurate system I could get, money was not a problem, these speakers were perfect for my size of room and acoustics. 

My stereo and home theater are in the same room 90 degrees from the studio system, it has much larger speakers mono block hybrid tube amps and big subwoofers it sounds much better than my studio system but it's not accurate. 

clustrocasual I'm not talking about receivers or integrated audio equipment I'm talking about a concept that everyone knows is proper, that being, designing the entire system for each component, along with the room acoustics. But that is very expensive and any audio company would be stupid to come to the audiophile market and say toss your entire system you've spent years refining to buy ours, this company wouldn't even get a start economically. Imagine how comfortable your car seat would be if it was designed for you.

kenjit Genelec speakers are not disco speakers they are made in Finland for studios not really for the home stereo market.
 

@clustrocasual The speakers in my profile are active but designed for home use, not studios. None of the links I posted above for two channel are designed for studio monitoring. What is the junk you are referring to? The OP talks about Genelec which are finalists for speaker of the year (and the least expensive of the speakers Stereophile nominated):
