@kota1 , that is a strange conundrum, faithful to measurements, but untreated room. Dr. Toole had his omnidirectional speakers in an untreated room too, but his room was very large. That works in a large room where the reflections are delayed. Amir's room is small. Too each their own. His focus is on signal integrity including what comes out of a speaker and debunking.
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.

Together with the built-in amplifiers and digital signal processors, the powerful woofers operate down to 17 Hz. This is not possible for traditional loudspeakers. @kota1 Well, I take that kind of marketing babble with a grain of salt, but they did go deep and they stayed controlled, not boomy. What they can also do is change the bass level depending on volume. Like we used to have a loudness switch on an amp in the old days. This now is a fluent change, lower volume, gradual lifted bass. It really makes a difference. |
Sorry no, @ronboco. It is likely you know of the company. |
