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.

OP:

This is your first post on AudiogoN. The subtext is:

  • You know more.
  • Audiophiles know less.

Quite an interesting way to introduce yourself to the community. Very Hollywood.  LOL.

 

@steakster

a true audiophile knows it better

from day 1

he feels the need to express it

otherwise, what’s the point?

@donavabdear , what a nice blend of work and comfort. I see we are both using Paradigms. I took my cue on setup right from the Dolby specs, nothing original there, just measured it out and dialed in the angles. One adjustment that worked for me is getting the tweeter of my CC in line with my L-R speakers. I set it up on Isoacoustic stands so it would reach to that height. I imagine when you are chilling the last thing you want to think about is audio equipment. Really top line gear you have all around, congrats!

@donavabdear Idaho is not conservative if you live in Blaine County.  Quite the opposite, and many California transplants here.
