Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

@kenjit Sorry I’m really not communicating well at all, my fault. I’m only talking about the engineering design of the speaker amp combination and when you use powered speakers in which the amp is literally connected with no speaker cable to the amp the crossover is in the circuit before the amp. This gives many benefits one of the many benefits is perfect speaker dampening and transient response. Being able to design the crossover and other circuits that are 600 ohms not 8 ohms allows you to do many things to more perfectly tune the amp to the single speaker driver. Every driver in the speaker needs it’s own amp that is designed for the particular drivers and frequencies that driver will produce. To be more clear in this system there really isn’t a crossover at all it’s simply a simple circuit that only allows frequencies in which the driver is designed for. Hope that’s clear

+1 Yamaha HS8; great for the money. I helped each of my sons set up small EDM production studios with a pair of HS8s in each. For myself, I love ATC SCM20ASL Pro Mk 11 actives in my small studio.

@vinylvalet , if you have time can you please post your virtual system so we can check it out? Sounds great. This thread has a few audio experts with studio or manufacturing experience participating like yourself, has been quite an eye (ear) opener so far. Thanks

Interesting that the 2 top threads in the Speaker category both started with trolling posts.

@secretguy Honest question do you feel like audiophiles should demand accurate designs in a synergistic way or do you feel it is more important to having "fun" with putting together systems at random not designed for each other.
