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.
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:

@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.

You are the only member who went to the Academy awards for the work in sound you did. You probably have very good trained listening skills. Why you like to choose speakers without listening to them is about as ridiculous as buying a six figure car without a test drive. When you audition listen to the flagship model first to set the bar and save time. Then compare the other stuff in that brand to the flagship (like you did with Paradigm). PMC has custom install speakers if you want to focus on room design.: https://pmc-speakers.com/products/custom-installation/ci-series Right up your alley too:
