Airmotiv B1s Vs 4s

[sproctor]

I have a pair of Airmotiv 4s powered speakers that I used for my computer I have since bought a pair of 5s and planned on using the 4s as a small stereo setup, originally going to buy a PT-100 and use them as kitchen speakers for when I make breakfast, but then I got the idea I might sell them and buy a TA-100 instead with the built in Amp and get a pair of B1s, kinda made more sense because I would f have to have 3x power cables and the B1s are a little bigger but curious about performance between the two? I have very little experience with loudspeakers mostly with powered monitors

I've heard the 4s too. It's nice. And I've heard the PT-100. I have not heard the B1. The advantage of the 4s is that it is actively bi amped. So its amps are made especially for the woofer and the tweeter. I think at best it would be a lateral move.

I have had the 4s and I now have the b1's. go with the b1's. bigger sound and more bottom end. mid to upper highs pretty much the same. I love my ta-100. bought it at emofest just to buy something. btw........ using it in place of my XMC-1 since I sold it to get the RMC-1 or XMC-1 gen 3, whichever I can afford.
