Very well analysed.
But are the amps Low Fi? My powered Tivoli and the ZVOX do not sound Low Fi. Nor do the Inmates' Audioengine 2, Emotiva et al. What gives?
Cheers

Ok, I don't know if the amplifiers are low-fi or mid-fi. I believe the reference to "monoblocks" was wrong and should have read "monolithic" meaning a one piece op-amp. I kind of doubt whether these are what I would use in a high quality speaker system but like I said the speaker may be just the thing for someone who wants a compact system to use with an iPhone/Android and MP3 files.
Also the description as a powered speaker system is using the term loosely. The left speaker houses an stereo amplifier which connects to the speaker presumably through a speaker level xo and the right speaker is connected by a cable and is "non-powered" (manufacturer's description). So really both speakers are non-powered but an amplifier is included in one of the boxes. A true powered speaker would use an active level xo.
If applicable, perhaps the correct term would be dual mono rather than monoblock.
The difference being dual mono involves two channels with independent power supplies including transformers, which share a single enclosure and power cord.
Powered means "includes amplification". That is simple and understandable to most people. It has been widely used for years.
