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.

He created so many secret identities to pretend a fantasy, in real life he probably drives pretend cars in a pretend house with pretend neighbors. There is clearly something wrong

Will all other posters in this thread who have MORE than 11 active speakers (including subs) in their PERSONAL HT (professional studios not included) please raise their hand?

Unless we have another member I win the "active speaker" playoffs for most active speakers in a HT. I think that gives me some creds when it comes to this thread.

When do I get my trophy? Thank you very much.

 

 

When it comes to the "most creative" active speaker category I nominate @phusis

When it comes to "most knowledgeable" active speaker category I nominate @lonemountain

When it comes to "best integration of active and passive speakers" I nominate the OP @donavabdear who also gets special mention for starting this thread.

When it comes to the "best swing and a miss" active speaker category I nominate the members who have not yet tried active speakers because they were confused (but hopefully they will be on the nomination list for next years awards.)
