| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kenjit Sorry I’m really not communicating well at all, my fault. I’m only talking about the engineering design of the speaker amp combination and when you use powered speakers in which the amp is literally connected with no speaker cable to the a... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn another note you can use non class D amps in powered speakers my little Elac Navis powered speakers use BASH amps (hybrid) for the low and mid frequencies and an A/B for the high frequency, (300W total). These speakers sound great for my... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kenjit no crossover between the amp and speaker is a big deal, you didn't say what frequency you were talking about 20hz or 20khz it makes a big difference in impedance. Also you didn't mention that the cross over was made designed at speaker le... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn I'm not marketing at all I don't care what anyone thinks of any of my systems (I have 4 Dolby Atmos systems in my home) I'm retired after 35 years in sound recording and mixing but I do care about what experienced people in the audiophil... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Great example, when I hear my active Genelec system it is always striking when the first note hits the transient quickness of even a soft note is odd compared to a normal system. Also in the article they mentioned current amplifiers not "cl... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius @mulveling Headphones, yep your right. I have a set of Focal Stellia and a Naim amp that is ok but isn't as good as it is expensive I want to change to a tube amp also. Bigger amps even ss amps vibrate naturally, could it be that the natural field... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn Thank you for the wonderful piano music. Oscar Peterson is of course on of my favorites and I liked the recording, the Maurizio Pollini recording is as you said as if you were in the concert hall from a further distance. Like modern musi... | |
| Tube amps and a Stradivarius @desktopguy Records sound better than CDs everyone knows which format is more accurate. Tubes sound better than ss everyone knows which system is more accurate. I like tubes better also. It just shows that accuracy is not more musical in this stat... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn Advantages of Powered speakers Each driver is optimized by t’s own amp Better transient response No speaker cables No crossovers after the amp No speaker level crossover design problems Amps designed for impedance of the driver... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @mijostyn I understand why you would be surprised about reliability. I'm not talking about cheep speakers with amps in them, not at all. I'm talking about what practically all professionals are using in concerts and more and more in studios. When ... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @secretguy Please tell me more about why the OP is confused about powered speakers, I could give you 2 dozen incontrovertible design advantage for designing the driver for each amp synergistically without a crossover in between. Look at it this wa... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 Really impressive, your commitment to acoustics. There is art in music playback rooms that is very personal and that is if you do have the means and the knowledge to design your system and acoustics how do you want it to sound? Studios u... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 talking to people like that is such a gift, they have no reason to do anything but help you, wonderful. What treatment did you perform acoustic or electronic? I don’t know if you read my note about “revealing” speakers sounding bad but it’s... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @kota1 You have such a good attitude toward sound, the limitations are personal prejudice and being willing to change. I disagree with the people who say just enjoy the music. Audiophiles do have a place in the sound world they are the people who... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused @ghdprentice Wow that is an amazing headphone setup, I lived 14 hrs a day with my headphones on working on films for 35 years and came to the conclusion that your brain fills in so much of the gaps in just a few hours of listening. I have the S... |
