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.
There are probably few books on speakers and acoustics I have not read over the last 20 years and I would not be surprised if not over 500 papers. Much of audio, acoustics, and speakers is not about right answers but right directions.

There are probably few books on speakers and acoustics I have not read over the last 20 years and I would not be surprised if not over 500 papers. If you are "all that" give me links to what you have PUBLISHED in peer reviewed journals, I got google for the rest. I never saw a bibliography that cited @thespeakerdude as a source. As for the gurus in the industry I didn’t dis Storyk and if his research helps ME improve SQ great, give me a link. BTW, of all the papers you read did you get any catalogs? Did you finally get some speakers??? His website was basically a brochure online, give me something that is research.

From his website: "None of this has anything to do with the internal room acoustics, which is a totally different animal. That’s what we do on the inside of rooms…including treatments, panels, diffusers, absorbers, reflectors, scattering elements and changing the geometry." John Storyk: I don’t think video is going to grow as much, but immersive audio will. The reason is that four billion people listen to 98 percent of their music on earbuds. They don’t walk around with TV screens. And they are definitely not going to walk around with those stupid AR goggles. There is plenty of time for audio, but one has to be in front of a screen for video. That will always limit it. +1, it seems me and John agree on the important stuff already 😎 |
