Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

@kota1 Oh man Avid tech support was very professional, kind, understanding, and they didn't have any experience with my system. I bought Pro Tools Ultimate, a MTRX Studio, an HDX system and an S4 Control surface. Everything is networked and my house has a big network multiple roughers hard line big WiFi 6e transmitters. When networks get that complicated the tech support is just guessing. What happened 90% of the time is after 5 hours talking to the Philippines I just gave up and tried everything I could think of sooner or later I'd get it right. Did you see how I lowered my center channel speaker in your honor, my Genelec system not the home system?

I have so much time alignment to do now, all the speakers are networkable and hook up to the computer and a system called SAM but that means running more network cable everywhere but then the system will time align and frequency align everything just right it is a brute force way of setting up a system not an elegant acoustic room fix system like my Lyngdorf theater processor. Next I have to switch all the Genelecs to run AES rather than analog signals, they take both and I need to send the Pro Tools system to the Lyngdorf system so I can play Dolby Atmos on the Lyngdorf setup as a monitor switch using Dante, kinda the ultimate luxury to have a good home system as a test for the movie mix. Probably 2 more months.

A friend of mine just got some Dynaudio Focus 50 Active Wireless speakers and we both are Amazed at their Sound ! OMG We have never heard Sound Quality like this from a home stereo system AT ANY PRICE ! OMG Bargain of our Lifetime ! OMG Only $11K A Pair ! We now know that Active Wireless speakers are the future of speakers ! Long Live the New KING of Speakers...World's BEST : 

@donavabdear , yes, I did see you lowered the Genelec CC from above the monitor and its now in line, nice. Even if it takes 2 more months to get things calibrated just right, that is still half the time it took for tech support. It will be amazing to mix your movies on one system and then play it back on your HT. I guess you can test your principles of how film mix transfers to a HT and have a watch party when you are done. Do you know the guys at the Dubstage studio? Sounds like you will be ready for some new projects by February.

@kota1 I have been searching for scripts but haven't found one that is just right, also I lost a ton of money in the market last year so my big movie planes are paused for now. I'll get it back and get things going again soon enough, I hope all my equipment isn't obsolete when I do. Even though I don't do sound professionally anymore It is still a real rush to have the mixing equipment in my listening room, I still have bad dreams about doing something wrong on the movie set so I guess my heart is still thinking about sound and it's a good feeling to be connected to people in the audiophile world and the professional sound world just for my post retirement emotional life.

@kota1 Also I wanted to send you this about the new Genelec speakers, I was not a fan of Genelec for 30 years I thought they were very harsh and poor low end. these new speakers are totally rethought. They make some amazing claims like "The new flagship of The Ones range, the 8361A offers the most advanced acoustic performance of any studio monitor on the planet." I have the model just below this one but they are made the same. Last night when I was panning the front speakers I literally had to reach my hand out and touch the center speaker to make sure it was off the imaging was nothing like I’ve ever heard before, I thought there was something wrong with my speaker patching. The first note of music is still getting me I don’t really know why, I think the transient response is so fast it plays with your brain, but that could be imaging also the high and midrange is point source with plenty of power the low frequency comes out of these strange outlets on each side of the speaker, this is the first time I’ve really seen High and mid frequency drivers work so well together.

When you look down the grocery store isle and the first thing that comes to your mind is wow that is a beautiful woman then you notice that it’s your wife, that’s a really good and honest reaction. This is happening to me all the time when it comes to this system, I know it doesn’t have strange and boutique parts but all the parts are designed to go together from the start of the signal to the end so they seem to work synergistically in a surprising way. Design from start to finish is so paramount that’s why I hope powered speakers are discovered by audiophiles, in a few years of acceptance they will take off in very beautiful ways.
