Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

kota1

I've worked with wireless mics in film for many years, the cost of a single transmitter and receiver is about $4000 for the best units (Zaxcom). Knowing this price range means that there is no way KEF can put a state of the art wireless system in 2x $7000 speakers. Wireless speakers have a long way to go, it's the FCC fault really they don't allow enough frequency bandwidth to support high fidelity consumer wireless products yet and probably never will.

You don't have to use the wireless feature. You can connect the speakers with the included 8 meter inter-speaker cable (manual pg 18) and then connect your front end components and a sub like you would a preamp using the inputs on the back of the speaker (pg 21-22 manual):

Very nice.

For me I don’t care for the control room sound that monitors like Genelec produce. I respect what they do but don’t enjoy music through them….the sound is too edgy and analytical. 

@donavabdear I’ve been listening to studio monitors and hi-fi speakers for probably 40 years. 1. Your Genis are not very good in the grand scheme. The Geni Sheen is not accuracy it’s massive distortion from DA and DSP and cheap amps.  Yet ... If you’re happy ? Great.
2. A Studio engineer needs no more than three pair to do great work, why do you have so many?
3. Speakers are in their infancy in terms of development. Amps are more evolved  

4. The last 30 years of powered studio monitors have taught us that cheaper and cheaper amplifiers are what ends up happening with these pieces as they become more popular.

5. You mentioned :

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,

So money is not a problem, humble brag noted, but you didn’t really buy a very revealing system. Not the most refined taste it seems

6. I’m from Ohio and I live in Los Angeles, please define "political refugee"? You mean you’re a Trump supporter? There’s a lot of Republicans in California.

If you want to combine the best components then you do it yourself. If you’re interested in the creative experience of making your own "playback instrument", as many people are, then you do it yourself. Simple

when it comes to a multi channel Atmos system, it’s certainly one option to do what you’ve done, however, my speakers are all passive, and they work extremely well, because I can use more advanced software on the way to the DA conversion. And there is far superior DA conversion then what comes in your speakers

what’s funny to me is you have a very high opinion of your rig, but you live in the world of Mid Fi
