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.

@mattw73  The grills cost extra but they come with a coupon for a dildo, LOL!

Yaaaa! After 4 months and many hours on the phone with the tech support my mixing system is all working. I still have weeks of testing to do but I’m so happy. I put on my reference music Katherine McPhee "I Fall in Love To Easily", I worked with her and was in the studio for some of the recording and mixing at Capitol Records in LA , I also worked with her as an actress on the TV show Scorpion for four years, she also sat at the sound cart every day on the shooting stage, I know her voice perfectly. My other song is Diana Krall "Some one in love" strangely both albums were recorded by Al Schmidt. Anyway when I played back a few songs I could hear much more texture of both of the women’s voices on the Genelec -The Ones- powered speakers than I heard on any of my systems, I also definitely didn’t hear that kind of resolution in the control room at Capitol. Not saying better I am saying more accurate, the vocal microphone was a tube U87, same one Nat King Cole used and Frank Sinatra.

There will never be another time when I can have such a good voice reference and a unique experience to evaluate the end product of a recording.
