Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

kota1, I'm not an expert in Dolby Atmos even though I've got a system, I just bought it to do a movie I was going to produce and pay for myself. I have a technical background, Physics and engineering in college and got to do some wonderful acoustics at the beginning of my career which helped all the way through. Live sound, music recording studio work, orchestras, did help me in production sound for films but my specialty is production sound (recording the actors and efx on set). It was nice when I could get into the post mixing stages because I was usually working on the next show.

Are you hearing any rumblings in regards to a heavy push on concert pay per view, both delivered in specially equipped theaters and for home?   Our growing world means far too many large markets for performers to perform in live, with tickets at those events exceeding the budgets of most fans.

For concert livestreams check out:

Holographic glasses will show the artist in the metaverse and concerts will be wonderful.

Great topic, though the tenor of some is off.

I agree with the OP. Confusion.

I recently sent my Focal SM9's to a new home after enjoying them for many years. They sounded fantastic! A revelation of the music! As a 2 way near field set up they were extraordinary! Is that enough exclamation marks?

Oh well, they're gone now.

Replacing them are JBL 4367. I have posted about my experience with different amps in  "How do I establish a Reference Level?"

There is a new amp in the mix now Look there.
