Having used bookend speakers and a soundbar separately these will blow a soundbar out of the water. A old soundbar will not work better than these speakers, please don't mislead people

I was looking into a deal on these speakers not long ago and from what I read on the audiophile website claimed these speakers used to be really good several years back but the newer models are much poorer quality. It seemed to be a pretty well-known thing. Just throwing that out there, maybe do some searching before purchase.

because people may not realize their old soundbar may work better than these speakers.

This maybe a stupid question.

They are studio reference monitor speaker so they are super accurate by definition? But Bluetooth compression ruins the quality sound vs wired what am I missing? Why does this have BT?

They have Bluetooth because sometimes people just want to use them as regular speakers.

Naive question but - does this take just a single 3.5mm input? Or would I need to get a L-R split cable?

Bt 5.1 and up are pretty close to lossless, but yeah it's a weird feature IMO
To be fair a lot of music is mastered to sound good on a car stereo so there's arguments on both sides as to whether it matters
