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.

Yes you have talked extensively @kota1 , that is not in question. |
@kota1 oh man that is a fun room. I would give a lot to hear it. Interesting to hear music played at a low volume in a room like that I have a feeling it would poor, firehouse filling a tea cup kinda story. Impossible to mix for a room like that. Makes me think of seeing a dragster driving down Main Street looks cool but everything else about the drive may be a compromise. A lot to think about. Thanks |
@kota1 Maybe you can help me here about a question from the amazing sound system in the YouTube video. Wave guide high frequency, in my day was popular until they realized that near field deflection is another word for phase problems, how can such a high end room use a proven physics problem? Wave guide mid frequency speakers in that room are guilty of the same sin. A bass speaker like the one in the video make so much more sense than a huge horn that must deflect the wave at some point in the horn. Is near field reflections / deflections not a thing anymore? |
