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.

Look, if you want to talk "expensive crossovers" you got a get a clue.

Here is a $4000 a pair of Revel speakers with a crossover that costs less than $20. If you have a clue to a speaker with an "expensive crossover" post it, if you don’t have a clue why bother making stuff up? It simply reveals the truth, you don’t have a system, you don’t have any speakers, and you don’t have any experience with building a system.😢

 

@kota1 for reasons only known to you you have issues with me. Feel free to direct message me and rant all you want. Be respectful and don’t make your issue everyone else’s issue as you are doing. It is disrespectful to everyone else here. Only you can make the actions of not making your beef everyone else's problem.

The vertical off-axis responses look wrong.  The vertical drop-off of the top end of the tweeter should be the same or worse than horizontal.
