Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

Further, @kota1 , for trying to raise the knowledge of the group I have received abusive replies like yours. Now it is like you are actively trying to stunt other people's knowledge. Why is that?

You can read them or not read them. It is your choice to educate yourself in an area you clearly are not educated in, or to not educate yourself.

for trying to raise the knowledge of the group

You are striking out, you have 0 credibility, post your creds to get some cred.

Of course, anyone who claims to be a knowledgeable audiophile and up on active speaker technology should know some of the things I have mentioned, that go beyond simple active crossovers, are already on the market,

The whole premise of the B&O 90 is advanced active speaker techniques for directivity control:  http://https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/speakers/beolab-90

Of course, it is not like Samsung (Harman) is asleep at the switch:

I could go on, but I have real work to do, you know, with speakers, that people buy.
