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.

Surprised no mention of ATC.

Some of the best sound I have ever had was with ATC Anniversary 50s.

6 Class A amps designed for each driver and active crossovers.

ATC also designs all its drivers and has been building among the best in studios,

performance venues (the Disney, the Sidney Opera House, etc.) and homes around the world for many decades.

They have optimized the advantages of powered speakers.
