Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

 unless that amplifier is designed to understand the particular speakers impedance loads 

Can you share with us how an amplifier can be designed to a drivers particular impedance load? Especially one as simple as a woofer which we all know has a predictable curve that rises with frequency quite smoothly.

I would use Genelec for a studio, dedicated theater, maybe PC speakers, but not for HiFi 2 channel playback, they are too flat, neutral and boring. They can play loud without distorting, but I like magic when I play music, I want to be in the room at the tip of the mic, I want to see the performers.

Just get yourself an EQ and stop complaining about them being flat.

They are pro use disco speakers. Nothing to do with high end audio. You must be joking

The evolution acoustics speakers are not very good. They are just another 'wooden box with drivers'. Same story. Also the fact that it is a multi way speaker is an imperfection. You do not seem to realize that your expensive speakers chop the music up into bass, mids, treble, and then is joined back up. Unfortuately this is not perfect sound. That is unnatural and does not happen in nature. Until we have perfect drivers, that can do 20hz to 20khz without beaming you will not hear perfect sound. If you think you are hearing perfection then your ears arent good enough im afraid. Perfect sound does not come easily. You have been warned.

Your statement extolling the virtues of active technology is only a half truth, especially the bit about the amp matching malarkey. When you take the crossover out, all you are left with is a simpler load usually a 4 or 8ohm woofer. Any amp can drive that. The amp matching you refer to is more of an issue with passive speakers not active. And in that case the matching must be done by the end user because only the end user has the right to decide what sounds best to his ears. In conclusion, you’re wrong.

@donavabdear  Tuning the sound at amp level and line level are not the same so you cannot substitute one for the other. Some audiophiles may prefer to tune at one level rather than the other, It all comes down to what is best for your ears. 

What is your definition of perfect driver matching? And how would it be measured?

genelec is a good powered studio monitor for the monies, but cat compete with same Bricasti amps,preamps withB&W 801 speakers these are elite studio setups ,

for-the money genelec is very sound ,but no where near at Reference level.

But genelec have been measured by audiosciencereview and found to have perfect results. I have not seen other speakers do this.
