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.

@thespeakerdude

It is very difficult to listen for transparency

For YOU

because our (replace our with @thespeakerdude ) detailed audio memory is so short that we have a very hard time comparing

clearly there are several people commenting on this topic who are far more knowledgeable and experienced than you are

Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn’t waste my time in this thread. The people I am gaining knowledge from have all posted their creds. You are making it up as you go along IMO.

I would suggest you lose the attitude

I wouldn’t have an attitude if you posted something besides a fantasy system from your made up job designing invisible speakers, PLEASE prove me wrong OK?

Everything I make claims about when posting I either link to evidence or it is based on my own system which I have posted. When I call out rudeness I respond in kind, your insults to @phusis are ridiculous as he has backed up his claims by posting his system. You are just dancing around spewing insults with nada to back it up besides a keyboard so I called out your nonsense.

 

 

 

There was nothing rude in a teacher correcting a student who has made an error, or correcting someone using a 1990 snapshot of battery technology to comment on electric vehicles. Knowledge is never rude. Taking attitude with someone where you lack knowledge is rude. If you would like to fix that issue, here is a quick smattering of papers that provides a cross section of what active speakers means to those working nearer the forefront of the field. This is by no means an inclusive overview, but it is a good start. When you have read all of them, and fully understand them, including why in almost all cases they require tight coupling of the amplifier to the driver, then we can continue this conversation.
