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.

@kota1 the topic of the thread is "Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused", not does @thespeakerdude have a nice system. I have talked extensively about the technical details and underpinnings of active speakers. I can and do that all day off the top of my head. Have you posted anything relevant in regards to active speakers, how they work, why they can do what they do, why they will only get better, what technology underpins those advancement? No you have not. So how about you stick to the topic, and stop trying to make yourself look better at my expense.

@phusis,

Have you been following what I said I do?  Speakers for professional applications? Do you think that just means studio speakers?  @donavabdear mixes for movies where you are trying to "recreate" real dynamic events.

20CuFt is not really enough for a proper horn loading at 20Hz.

Tell me @phusis, what is your personal definition of "dynamics"? 
What is a sufficient peak db level?

What is a peak db level listening to an orchestra say 10 rows from the stage?

How often are you trying to recreate a Saturn V launch?

Please chime in on the video I posted on 17.2.13 setup, would love your thoughts on the setup and of course the sub
