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.

+1 Yamaha HS8; great for the money. I helped each of my sons set up small EDM production studios with a pair of HS8s in each. For myself, I love ATC SCM20ASL Pro Mk 11 actives in my small studio.

In the rare instance, should active ATC electronics fail, an ATC dealer will remove the amp pack from the speaker and ship only that to their NV facility. Turn around time is very rapid.
