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.
I can't find a company that is totally system oriented other than Steinway Have you ever auditioned a system by Meridian? I do want to put my money where I feel that the science and common sense leads Example of a common sense room, based on Meridian tech:

@donavabdear , the Lyngdorf Class-D is either off the shelf Purifi or customized. The brains is Bruno and Lara who started Purifi with Peter. Those are Peter's words by the way. Class D is almost a technical necessity for the bass due to high power in active, but for mid / tweet, not essential though a switching power supply becomes a packaging requirement. In professional products no one asks you what's the power supply. They only care about the sound. In the home market there are a lot of preconceived notions. There are also a lot more single ended electrical connections more susceptible to noise.
That Meridien system was nice. Not a fan of the room and lack of treatment but they have to work with what the customer allows. They dropped the ceiling though, so could have created a 6" fake acoustic wall. All digital interconnect. Just standard Cat6. |
I found the most amazing active speaker setup for you. It is SOA and probably the leading company in the entire category of active speakers. If you need help picking the right one start a new thread. If you want to do an atmos system wait until March when their new models are announced. Please click HERE and post any questions in a new thread. You will LOVE it! |
Funny, @kota1 , they Sonos has tried to recruit me twice. How about you? However, at least to the latest information I have, their emphasis, at least from a pure audio standpoint, is best audio in small size. There are a lot of parallels from a technology standpoint with achieving maximum performance in a large size, but parallels and goals are not the same. I did think their purchase of Mayht was wise though for their goals and it will be interesting to see if they push that technology up to larger sizes. Let me know when you purchases your Meridien system, though at that point, like now, you will just be someone who purchased active speakers. |
