What is the difference between powered and active speakers?

Both are basically the same. “Active” and “powered” speakers refer to speakers with power amplifiers built into either one speaker or both. Audioengine speakers were designed with the power amps in the left speaker to make connections easier as they only require 1 power cord and all connections are on the same speaker. It’s time to sell that big old stereo receiver and make the switch!
