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.

Forgive me, for I have no input. I’ve just been following along :-)

That’s OK. Could be much worse . There is a speaker dude on this very thread pretending to be a speaker manufacturer who does not even own any speakers. The only “speaker system “ he has is in his 1998 Corolla 😉🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@secretguy the most posts because the same three guys keep posting, which is fine, but it doesn't mean it's important.

This is the Bryston active system and if you are getting a L-C-R combo I would get the mini T's, not the Middle T's in this video:

 

If you use the Bryston 16 channel SP4 processor I don’t think you need to get the BAX, they can crossover from the processor (ask the dealer to be sure).

This would be a completely matched system with the active or passive speakers of your choice which I think would be an upgrade over the mac/SF combo, even though it would cost less. (I would not do passive at all, the active is in another league as I’m sure the dealer will demo):

When (the SP4 is) mated with a selection of Bryston amplifiers and loudspeakers, you will experience a sound system like no other.
