Sorry, sold elsewhere.

I have a pair of AE SBP15-4 subwoofers that I bought for a project and never used. I took one out of its box when I first received them to gaze upon its awesomeness (see picture) and then packed it back up and haven't touched them for a couple of years. I'm coming to grips with the fact that it...

You're jumping to defend a point I'm not actually making here. I know all about the difficulty with sighted tests and I'm not suggesting otherwise. (nor was the article in question that you jumped on) There are many studies that show this, but our knowledge about lots of things evolves over...

I don't really think that's what the article was saying. That there is a greater delta than previously thought created by trained listening doesn't necessarily also mean that every claimed feat of hearing is true. Nor does the fact that human hearing in general is more sensitive to time and...

Thanks for the review guys!

It's possible as you said the mismatched levels are deceiving your ears, but either way, if there IS a difference it's not due to file format. I don't know a ton about your particular equipment. I'd assume your AVR handles WAV natively, but if it's transcoding or upsampling or something that...

I agree that the front three are most important, but whether or not you should spend most of your budget on them depends on just how much you're stretching your budget I think. It might make the difference between a really good front stage or a mediocre one, or maybe a front stage that sounds...

My dad has had like 12 BCC's removed, mostly on his face. (long time jogger, gardener, and general outdoor enthusiast) Anymore the dermatologist just administers some local anesthetic and cuts it out right there in the office. He's starting to look like a cheap golf course. :P

I think because of room issues they were a little bit more source-material dependent than usual. I brought acoustic treatments but they were hardly effective against such large walls. We were definitely exciting a bit of an upper-midrange resonance in the room that caused them to sound harsh...

Keep in mind that October 5th-6th is the weekend before RMAF, which would only give the vendors about a 2 day turnaround. (those that drive their gear to Denver like Hugh, Jim Salk, and Dr. Hsu might even be heading out on Tuesday) It would be impossible for Hugh and I to do both, and I bet...

It was great to meet a bunch of you over the weekend, and I want to give Gene and the AH crew props for taking care of the Sponsors really well and doing their very best to make our efforts and expenditures a rewarding investment. Not all shows are that way! Hugh and I (and hopefully Nhan next...

DBX is owned by Harmon (along with JBL, Infinity, Mark Levinson, and a bunch more ) which is based out of Connecticut. They just don't make consumer gear any more.

Looks like it's going to be a serious crowd! I'm making final preparations now and looking forward to meeting everybody.

The Cleveland Orchestra is absolutely world class, and Severence Hall is a fantastic venue. One of the remnants of the city's golden age. I wish I could go more often, but it's a bit expensive. Side note: I always tell people, you have to look past the lack of glamor in Cleveland. There is...

I don't know about everybody else, but we'll be able to play cd, sacd, dvd-a, and blu-ray audio.

Hey everybody, here's a rundown of what Hugh and I will be bringing for the Angel City Audio demo room: Speakers: ACA Trinity (this is an LCR set, but we'll just be demoing 2-channel for this event) Amplification: Melody AN300b Source: Oppo BDP-95

Your personal tastes aside, (which may or may not favor perfect accuracy) I suspect that YPAO is having trouble with reflections in the room and not getting an accurate measurement. Technically it's what the mic picks up, but it's an omnidirectional mic, and your hearing is better at...

Fantastic!

I have not yet joined the ranks of the werther's original enthusasts, but I still find movie theater sound to be too loud on a regular basis. I've been to theaters with bad sound, but I've also been to a few with good sound that's just too loud. (although movies aren't created equal, and the...

Looks like I'll be joining you guys for this one to rep for ACA, which is now a sponsor. Looking forward to meeting everybody. :)
