Type of products you would like more reviews of ? [Archive]

I would like to see some Linn products tested, perhaps the 5125 5 channel class V amplifier. They also have some interesting integrated products such as the Classik Movie DI System integrated DVD/CD/Tuner/Preamp/Processor/Power amp.

On the other end of the spectrum they have products like the
Unidisk 1.1 universal player and Kisto 7.1 channel preamp/processor. These are out of the price range of most mortals but it would be interesting to see if these products prove to provide truly benchmark performance.

More wide speaker reviews from the likes of Magnepan, Canton, Yamaha, SONY's $15K speakers etc.

Since one of the most ignored facet of HT and audio in general is properly matched speakers, this is one of the most needed items in audio.

How about more panel type speakers. Magnepan, Eminent Technology, Martin Logan or Monsoon. How about Quad's? Although they are rather pricey. Monsoons have the spacious open sound panels are noted for. With their cone type woofers their placement is not so critical concerning distance from speaker to front wall, plus they are very reasonably priced. The same applies to Martin Logans although they are not as reasonably priced as Monsoons. They are electrostatic hybrids

I can assure you that the problem here was not the Canton speakers as they are among the best but maybe the Rotel amp although from my past experience Rotels are quite neutral. Did you try the Ergo series? Cantons sound pretty close to Yamaha so it may not be to everyone's taste. I own a pair of Ergo-120 and rate them to be among the best.

I'd like to see you find and review "bargain" items.  That doesn't mean that they are necessarily the cheapest items out there just ones that appear to be high value for my money.  Some items might be; Magnepan HT, Sonance 5150 Amp., Outlaw products, nOrh products, etc.  While the proces might be good, I don't really have a feel for how good some of these units are for the $$ they are asking.  

I'd also like to see some unusual products that might be of interest like SRT's (Sound Related Technologies) Hydrosonic subwoofer.  Once I buy a set of components a fair amount of time will go by before I buy another set.  Reviews of unusual products keep my interest.

I think these guys were the small Karats. They defiantly were not Ergos. Both I and another fellow thought that the tweeters were damaged. The high end was missing any crispness they sounded very muffled. We compared them to a set of Studio 100 V2’s (on the same Rotel amp). There was another speaker as well; can’t remember the name. It was a very ugly bookshelf with a non-removable metal grille. Those speakers sounded outstanding - I wanna say spike or snipe something like that ($4,000.00 / pr)

This is a lot to ask but would be awesome and to the teeth in detail.

I recently read a two and a half page review Home Theater Mag, of the above Defiitive system, it read more like an advertisment that a review.

I'd like to see comparison reviews.  It's much more helpful to know relative differences between components since most reviews are much too flattering.  A comparison of an inexpensive amp (anthem/rotel/nad) versus an expensive amp (musical fidelity/classe/etc) and whether any of these would improve the sound of a good a/v receiver (nad/denon/etc) if connected to the pre-outs.

I would like to see you guys review the Wharfedale Evolution series speakers. I am a bit of a newbie when it comes to high fidelity speakers but these sound great to me. I have searched the web and found only one three sentence review. I would love to see what a trained ear has to say about them.

They are probably not comparable to many of the high end speakers that you typically review but I think they are spectacular for the money. I have the Evo 30's, Centre, DX12 sub, and 8's, All for less than $1500. I think they would be a great choice for the HT < $3000 reference system.

Greetings everyone.

We can't thank you enough for all this valuable input. *There seems to be a consensus that Audiohlics needs to do additional speaker reviews, among other products. *We are looking into some of the companies you all recommended and will be receiving new equipment soon. *Something we'd like to point out is that we are working with speaker manufacturers for upcoming product reviews. *They include the following.

1) *Tyler Acoustics
2) *VonSchweikert Audio
3) *A totally new line of RBH
4) *Canton Electronics
5) *A Do-It-Yourself Speaker (http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/setup/loudspeakers/DIYspeakers.php) article by our newest Junior Staff member, Ken Stein.
6) *And more......

In addition to speaker reviews, we are also getting ready to do reviews of other processor and amplifier combos. *This will include the following:

1) *Parasound Halo C2
2) *Arcam
3) *NAD
4) *And more...

Finally, we made some ground breaking progress with companies like Samsung and will be doing reviews of their new DVD player with DVI output, and an HDTV tuner. *Once we develop a solid relationship with them, we also hope to review Plasma TV's.

This is an exciting time for Audioholics and we are looking forward to growing our site with all of you as our welcomed guests.

A comparison and examination of the various built-in room correction/EQ sytems we're now seeing on AV recievers & pre-pros. Do they actually work, in general? Or is it a gimmick? Can they really replace or approximate the full multi-point-mic-measurements-with-spectrum-analyzer treatment that pro installers and seriously geeky hobbyists use? Are there different approaches by various makers or are they all based on the same undelying technology from one or two vendors? This seems to be moving quickly from the "exotic and expensive" category to mass-market and it is very interesting!

Audioholics made a name for itself by dispelling cable industry myths. This was a big deal for me personally, validating my beliefs with scientific proof.

So let's get serious and start shaking up this industry with true, scientific double blind comparisons of value brands versus esoterics. Everything from speakers to power cables. Set up the testing like the famed NRC so it's completely unbiased, invite a mix of neophytes and golder ear types and let the chips fall where they may.

The only problem I see with this strategy is the esoteric brands fearing the results, but if they're as good as the subjective reviews and tenfold prices sugguest, they should have nothing to fear. Hell, let the designers themselves participate and see if they can hear a difference!

The following article is exactly what I'm talking about.

http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_11_4/feature-article-blind-test-power-cords-12-2004.html

I've preached about this before because (to my knowledge) it's just never been done. And if Audioholics won't do it...then who will?

gene

01-21-2005, 11:37 AM

Doing controlled and accurate DBT testing is both time consuming and very involving. We have only seen them truly done correctly by the likes of Harman and the NRC. So far no credible source to our knowledge has been able to depict sonic differences in controlled DBT of cables.

In the future we do plan on doing control DBTs on cables as kinda a fun exercise, but die hard audiophiles will always object, find flaws in the test gear, equipment, music source, moon alignment, etc to discredit the results.

The reality is, there are far more important and productive things one can do with their time, like getting the room acoustics and speaker/room interaction correct. Most well designed cables barely have measurable, let alone audible differences. Simple fact, avoid the poorly designed cables and you will be fine. Get the speaker/room equation correct and the fidelity of your system and your enjoyment of it, will increase infintely more than fussing about cables.

In closing, remember our mantra that only poorly designed cables may sound "different".

How about doing some comparrison reviews of systems using receivers as a pre/pro. For example: Setup a Hometheater with identical speakers interconnects, TV/Monitor/Projector, Power Amp, etc.

Do a comparrison using mid to high end receivers as the pre/pro versus a mid to high end seperate as the pre/pro.

I'm curious to find out if there is that much of an improvement going from a higher end receiver as the pre/pro to a seperate pre/pro with all other components being equal.

I recently purchased a RShack Kameleon 8-in-1 Universal/Learning Remote control and really recomend that it get a review by the staff. It takes a while to get everything setup but it is well worth it.

So far I haven't run into a problem with setting it up for any component I own. The remote has learning capabilities too so this is helpful in getting it setup for controls that the original remote has but isn't readily available via the program codes. You can get one right now for $69.99 if you go to the RS website and print the coupon so you can get $20 off the regular price. Even at the regular price of $89.99 it's a steal. For some reason the RS here in Longview, TX had it tagged for $79.99 so I got it for $59.99. An addition $10 off verses the website. BEFORE YOU BUY IT ONLINE VISIT YOUR LOCAL RS. YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SAVE AN ADDITIONAL $10.

Two other things I like about it is the ability to program macros to power on and select initial settings via the macro keys and the ability to "cross-train" the remote to control features on two different components via a single components keys. In other words, you can setup controls for your DVD player, on the TV's control pad.

It's cheap, backlit, versatile and user programmable. For those who need a good replacement for their oem audio receivers remote it's great. Even if it doesn't get reviewed it's worth a try. You can always take it back if you don't like it so all you will be risking an hour or two of your time.
