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.

"That must be some kind of record @joysjane"

Yea, really sucks!

They were some seriously great sounding speakers before the BASH plate amps went kaput...

How could a Harmon company abandon these and not support them?  Are these very old?   From my little corner, I’ve never seen an ATC amp failure we could not repair.
