Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
@thespeakerdude lots of plots even polar patterns about speakers and SPL /directivity but not frequency polar patterns what could be more important. I think it shows how many poor crossovers there has been historically that the main plots on speak...

@erik_squires it seems odd to me that speakers don't do frequency plots like microphone plots showing off axis coloration at different frequencies. The importance is just the same, with microphones generally the longer the polar pattern the poorer...

@kota1 as I've said before companies like Sony, Yamaha, Harmon and the like can produce anything they want as far as quality tech. I bet someone like you could get someone like the @thespeakerdude to point you in a direction to make a top quality ...

@erik_squires back when I was in acoustics years ago there was a lot of talk about  frequencies riding on each other. This was when WMTMW was starting and the point was that frequencies were actually interacting nondestructively and preserving hig...

Nice to hear from you @lonemountain great info. Is there any way someone can use specs to put together a high end system that is active? What I’m asking for is a way to use the specs on speakers amps and crossovers that would work together optimal...

@kota1 I think the Bryston system is probably the smartest there is. I honestly don't know how audiophiles don't think active speakers are the way to get the best sound? If powered speakers are scary because you are worried about your amps going o...

@kota1 That was an interesting video about the cheep Sonus Faber crossover. Some of the people at the SF forum were agreeing that SF was not what they used to be. Like you say I just have to listen, hope that didn't apply to the Aida.  I like thi...

@kota1  I was just reading in a very high end forum that external crossovers are bad and setting up amps for each driver is bad, I understand there are confused people everywhere but dear lord it doesn't matter how into hi fi the people are they ...

@kota1 I hope even someone stumbling onto this thread has at least seen why quality powered speakers are superior. I have been pointing out the problems with powered speakers and it's logical extension synergistic systems. If all the components we...

@kota1 On the video did you catch how they didn't listen to symmetrical speakers in the PMC / Capitol video. I haven't come to any conclusions yet but working with object based information means you are creating images between the speakers, so if ...

@mastering92 You're right ugly is not the right word, and you're right in your description and importance of the brand. I've spent millions on pro sound equipment and lived in LA doing the highest pressure productions on the planet. Now I'm retire...
