I've subscribed to both newsletters. Having read more than my fair share of articles here on Audioholics that sing the praise of multiple subwoofers, I feel like this subwoofer would be the perfect mate to my existing subwoofer to smooth out any nodes in my system's bottom end.

Thanks Gene. Back EMF, now that I hear you say it, was indeed what he was talking about. Back in the day, you guys did a review of the Pioneer Elite VSX82-TXS, and while there were some issues with the video processing in the earlier products of that lone, they appeared to have sorted that out...

Just curious... I was talking to a guy who runs a local hifi / home theater shop a couple of weeks ago, and he was saying that when current hits the woofer, it drives it back, but when the woofer travels in the opposite direction, it creates a current that goes up the wire into your amp. He was...

Ummmmmm.... which one sounded the best to you guys?

Wait, wait, wait... I think no one's asked the important question: What the heck was Tom doing at Pacific Rim? Without a doubt, the stoopidest movie made since guys in rubber suits stopped trouncing around miniature models of Tokyo. Took my son to see it on IMAX 3D. What an unbelievable waste...

Well if static images helped me get a feel for how it sounded, I might be inclined to agree with you. Who appeared to put the most effort into a review is, when you think about it, a silly criterion for selecting a winner. Is it well-written? That makes more sense. Is it concise and to the...

My feedback on the reviews: - Dracullus: overall, a very good review, but you need to remove at least half the pictures and videos (if the camera's mic can't handle the low frequencies, the video isn't helpful). - kleinwl: I liked all the spec-y stuff, but was let down by the brevity of your...

My thoughts on the reviews... - Sluggo: it's a review, not an advertisement - PCWeber: the most dispassionate of the bunch. Good context information. Well-written. - Travis: while I understand the desire to provide a context by comparing the SVS to your BIC, I felt as though you spent too much...

Questions: 1) Out of 100%, please assign a percentage to the factors that most heavily influence your purchase decisions? Performance 35% (this is the ultimate factor, right?) Price 30% (but when I shop for cars, you won't catch me at a Ferrari dealership) Aesthetics 5% (not so important...

Well, it's kind of interesting ... Where the SW saga will go. If you go with Northrop Frye's definition of comedy as it's explained in his seasonal essay in Anatomy of Criticism, we've pretty much hit the end of the narrative arc in terms of Anakin's story (his being dead also kinda helps)...

I like a lot of the little net gadgets on my botton-feeding BDP. Pandora in particular. YouTube's OK. And the weather gadget's are OK too. Even Netflix, though it's an extremely pale imitation of what a Blu Ray disk can provide, is OK. But anything that requires you to type text with a...

I'm just wondering how they define "high definition content." In my world, that's CD quality or better, or, better yet, Blu Ray. Seeing as NetFlix's HD content is somewhat, uh, grainier than Blu Ray, I'll have to wait and see. Of course, the other question is whether it'll play Facebook...

Other - I would say professional reviews are most useful to me. I have never used Fluance speakers b&w, nht, mirage, marantz, and earthquake Thanks for the opportunity.

Question 1: What are the most important features to you in a subwoofer? Choose all that apply: Auto Room EQ Dedicated LFE Input Question 2: What comes to mind when you hear the name SVS? High quality, internet-direct speakers and subwoofers that are designed and built in the midwest, and...

Sorry to hear of all your misadventures in getting things dialed in. A few years ago, I bought a store's demo model VSX82-TXS along with their demo B&W DSM603 S3s and LCR600 (center). I have NHT 1.3As in back. Since I'm only driving five speakers, I've bi-amped (and bi-wired) the 603s. A couple...

What music service or media player do you use to listen to music (Spotify, iTunes, Pandora, Windows Media Player, Winamp, Zune, etc.) Currently, I listen to Pandora at home. My wife and one of my sons use iTunes. Have you looked at any type of wireless solutions for your audio needs? If so...

Well, according to B&W, they're claiming 85 dB: http://www.bowers-wilkins.com/Downloads/Product/InfoSheet/ENG_FP22608_M-1_Info-Sheets.pdf Not great, but a whole lot better than 75 dB. What gets me are the crazy frequency response specs for that subwoofer.

For as heavy as sub-woofers can get, free shipping is a real saver. A dipolar surround speaker. $200 each. I don't look for anything. I listen for things in a great subwoofer, but what I listen for includes a natural extension of sound down to the bottom of the sonic spectrum. Something...

Not that I'm all that picky (OK, I am...)... But isn't an "Integrated Amp Receiver with Tuner" simply a receiver? Maybe I'm just being naive.

Targets like this one are an easy one to hit... ... But, I suppose, if I had the means, I might be enticed to buy one. Of course, if I picked one of these up, I'd need to spend $4k each for a power cord and some interconnects. Is this the recommended pre-amp for the ClearAudio Statement...
