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.

Sure, right after you give me links to all the peer reviewed articles you have published in your field.

Please see the "Kota curve" above 😎, when you get that right, everything else follows. You can see my "references" in my virtual system.

While you are at it, perhaps you can work on reading comprehension and googling how not to be a jerk online.

Don't blame me for putting yourself out there. You claim you are all about speakers and you don't even know how to put a system together, you admitted as much to @donavabdear. You claim you read everything on audio but the impression I get is you are a DIY guy sitting in his basement with an ipad and some duct tape. If you didn't say a bunch of stuff you can't prove it wouldn't invite the scrutiny.

There are very few on the ASR forums, in my experience, that are highly experienced in acoustics and psychoacoustics.

100% true, however they LOVE to wrap themselves in psychobabble and consider themselves experts (in their own mind at least).

It seriously made my day to read this. Thank You!

You're a hundred percent accurate here. Obviously  not everyone, but the majority.

I love that first quote in your virtual system. That Pioneer gear looks choice, very, very nice.

 

@kota1 

I am glad that we are in agreement about the quote and thanks for your compliment to my audio gear. I'll let them know! lol

Viewing your system page makes me want to listen. The room correction, speaker placement, and room treatments. Looks like you invested a lot of time and effort; and it was all worth it.

I'm curious about your system. Are you on YouTube by a chance? I would subscribe.
