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.

@invalid , I posted one grammy winner, two well known studios (Abbey Road and Sony) and guy that literally wrote the book on speakers (Floyd Toole). It was simply the context that all of these diverse professionals use roughly the same setup (coincidentally as myself and the OP). I never won a Grammy and unless you are Milli Vanilli I can’t imagine it being a bad thing. |
@brianlucey breaking down his approach to amps and speakers at 8 minutes into the video. Very interesting Brian, much respect, clearly you have a talent for "tube jockeying" as you call it. You do state that tubes are high maintenance and can be a PIA so IDK if that is a plus or a minus when it comes to going with an active speaker as a preference for consumers. I have not tried the tube route yet and if you post another video on your atmos setup in that other thread it would be much appreciated. I also saw your NAMM interview on youtube re: the all analog plug in, nice:

I get the point. After owning the revel salon 2 and my 250/425 wpc amps couldn't wake those speakers up I sold them and bought a pair of meridian dsp powered speakers. Personally, as somebody that spends a lot of time listening to music and often replaying the same stuff it's nice to be able to swap components just to change the presentation. EQ can change tone but not character. |
