Again a speaker company, this time Focal with the Easia's, calls them wireless, but they're not really are they? They plug into the mains...with a wire....Just sayin'

Not necessesarily. Powered passive speakers will only have one amplifier in each speaker. But proper active speakers use a separate amplifier for each driver.
Have a look on this wikipedia link that explains the differences between powered and active speakers.

You are missing my point. The convention is to call a box of amplifiers an amplifier, not plural, regardess of configuration. The speakers may be active or powered who knows, but lets wait for a spec sheet?
