I've never been a fan of built in powered subs either, I prefer running my mains full range and using a separate powered sub for below 50 or 60 Hz depending on the speaker. Every powered sub speaker I've ever heard sounded muddy and colored to me.
I have an uber awesome amp, why buy a speaker with a built in woofer sub-woofer amp
I'm wondering why there is a market for awesome speakers that have built in sub woofer amps - e.g. Triton 1,2,3 ; ZuAudio Definition and so many others.
As far as I know built in amps are almost never put under the reviewers microscope. So while the amp and speakers I purchase may well have been, the amp inside the speaker isn't.
So, if I have a really good amp and I'm looking for a good pair of speakers, why would I (anyone) want a set of speakers with a built-in amp, especially one of unknown quality?
