Do you have passive or powered speakers? (feddit.online)

I have a pair of powered Klipsch bookshelf speakers, and while I don't have any complaints about them, I'm thinking about getting an amplifier and switching to passive speakers, just for a more "purely analog" setup. The speakers I have right now have modern features like a remote and bluetooth, and I don't think I'll miss the remote and I never use bluetooth.

What do you use? I'm not an audiophile by any means, so I'll probably see what affordable, used amp and speakers I can find at a record store or thrift shop, but I'd love to hear your recommendations, too.

Yep very true!

I work in audio recording and mixing so I only use wav files 24 bit 96 kHz. They're only used because plugins tend to react better with them. Plus, higher sample rate gets you less latency at the expense if CPU if recording overdubs.

It all gets down sampled in the end but I always have the master recordings.
