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, go to your profile you want “your Virtual Systems”. Click around, you’ll find it.

I’ve been doing sound for 40+ years at the highest level, sorry I didn’t know I needed to bow down and kiss your ass, you are a bitch.

 

Wow.

There is zero need for you to be so nasty. Absolutely overreactive, unacceptable post. Whatever respect you may have garnered in your brief posting time here, is gone.

There is no useful purpose for posts like that on this forum or for the people who post them.

I have a fireplace where the cc tweeter should be and because that stupid stand was almost $1000 I had to use it. I did aim the tweeter to hit me at my listening position, I was very careful with the measurements very good note. If you do a recording with microphones at the tweeters of each speaker you can see the exact time alignment difference for each speaker, of course you have to do this with the equipment on to test latency also, this is the only way I know to know for sure to test what the time alignment is on each speaker.

Thanks for the nice comment about my room.

Why are you listening? To hear the mistakes the engineers made or to enjoy the music? I have a pair of unforgiving loudspeakers coupled to an excellent Sophia A/B amp. Listening to re-mastered Hot 5s & Diana Krall is bliss. There's a lot else, any Little Feat CD for instance, that hurts my ears.
