Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused

thespeakerdude Just to be clear my OP was meant to mean in the best practice each driver should be designed for each amp and visa versa. If this isn't done the amp may be very expensive but it is shooting darts on matching the particular speaker most effectively. Think of the million dollar systems that aren't designed for each other that is willful confusion a picture of silliness. The amp doesn't have to be in the speaker cabinet but it does have to be designed for the speaker. 

Vibration affecting the fidelity of active speakers with the amps inside the cabinet and those benefits are opposed to each other. That's all I'm saying. 

@thespeakerdude again. Read slowly ... I am not opposed to any concept or any system. No dogma. However in the real world FULLY ACTIVE SYSTEMS WITH DA AMP CABLES SPEAKER DSP IN ONE TEND TO BE A COST ISSUE COMPROMISE.

Trinnov ... I used to make 7.1.4 sound like stereo mm3 with no DSP.

Are we clear?

I set up the trinnov to be AS INVISIBLE AS POSSIBLE ON THE L R 

I feel I must further take issue with labelling any amplifier the best on its own. Amplifiers and speakers form a system. Colleagues would argue, correctly I must accept, that amplifiers, speakers, and the room form a system. No amplifier is the best amplifier for every speaker, and no amplifier is the best amplifier for every speaker and room combination. Tube amplifiers, even your Allnic, are often a poor choice for speakers where the delta from maximum to minimum impedance is large, and the minimum impedance is low. That amplifier could impact a significant and negative character on a speaker that a much lower cost SS amp would not.

I started in acoustics and physics then moved into movie sound about 35 years ago. I've been to many big studios but not for music but for movies. and I'm putting in my studio now for movies not music. Dolby Atmos was meant for movies not music. I have worded at music studios but didn't enjoy it as much as sound for movies. Sorry if that is beneath you.
