Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

Where'd you go?

Another winning active speaker, PMC. You could buy this system in the morning, install it in the afternoon, and have "Best of Show" sound in your living room that night. People that are whining and moaning that they can’t find good active speakers are not looking very hard. PMC makes both passive and active speakers so if you want to keep your toob amp go for it:

Because powered speakers and even synergistic design philosophies aren’t available at a the level I want

Put these on your audition list:

@kota1 Now your talking thanks.

Anything that ugly has got to sound great.

I think they're unique - in terms of looks. Not ugly. Simply looking at the woofer cover tells us that we are not dealing with an ordinary speaker. 

PMC speakers are great ! tonally accurate, detailed, and will tell you the truth about a recording without going overboard.

They are very popular in studios. Same with JBL horn speakers, TADs, and ATC speakers. That's because these speakers are marketed towards people in pro audio; and they actually fulfill that purpose.

So if anyone were to knock these brands for any reason; yet the music you're playing on your own system sounds great, you can safely assume that one or more of the above speakers from/brands were used in the final stages of post-production. Otherwise, lots of mastering errors and even mixing errors that were never corrected.
