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.

If your speaker are sponsored by F1 cars, they don't go fast or thunder down straightaways like F1 cars, if you buy F1 speakers it does not mean you are cool like F1 drivers. 

Audiophiles, get out of bed and drop a $10 thousand dollar AC cable in the trash, one step at time. Do we trust big companies with huge marketing budgets, no, these companies only want to make money, we can't blame them we just can't enable them when we know that AC field around the AC cable are not going to change if we insert a 2 meter piece of silver. 

The point is there are lots of active speakers that aren’t studio monitors, if you don’t like co-branding here is another popular active speaker built for home use. If you know where the guy tossed the $10K cable (or 2 meters of silver) post a link , I’ll retrieve it NP.

If you want to bash companies with big marketing budgets can you be specific? Potshot posting is reckless, I hate when someone denigrates an industry because they don't know what else to write in order to feel important.

 

Thanks all for this interesting thread. Have enjoyed following this discussion. 
 

Curious to know what kind of cables the OP is using in his studio and “home” systems. 

Have never seen a speaker with McLaren on the side of it. Have seen a McLaren with Klipsch painted on it.

@donavabdear I do not have one piece of BIG NAME equipment in my exquisite sounding system nor any China either.
