Dumb? I've been folowing AH for many years, You absolutely had biased reviews- I'll give you 3 examples of your review below: Onkyo TX-SR383 7.2-Channel AV Receiver Inflates Power but Not Price Onkyo specs: All Channels: 155 W/Ch. (6 Ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD, 1 Channel Driven) 80 W/Ch. (8 Ohms, 20...

Wonder if your biases gonna change now that Integra/Onkyo are part of your favorite brands' manfacturer.

Really? How long have you been watching Hollywood? I started noticing it as far back as Hollywood has been making movies, but you're right, it used to be wrapped in a really good story, and story telling, now it's just superficial social commentary with lots of sound and visual effects, with no...

We did have a 3rd option- Windows phone was and still is better than both Apple and Android crappy OSes, with much less risk of being spied on- if you knew what you're doing that is.

Okay, that's a good explanation, thanks. Still, that diagram is silly

Is it just me, or is this design missing another divider- one between the woofers and the existing divider? They can draw arrows all they want, without another divider the back wave is not going to follow those arrows!

I agree, but most audiophiles know enough not to be fooled by the inflated specs. The rest of the consumers meanwhile, wouldn't know clipping if it hit them in the ears.

They will ruin Onkyo and Pioneer just like they ruined Marantz and Denon!!! In the meantime Yamaha's stuck just shot up- at least in many audiophile minds.

Those graphs look really good, especially the "sealed" responses! Wish I'm still in need of more subs- I already got 4.

All of that is true, but you're talking of extreme scenarios, I'm only interested in a little more attention to the power supply in a flagship like this one- There is no question, the power supplies in todays receivers are taking a back seat to the bells and whistles. My Integra receiver which...

Onkyo/Integra Unfortunately, can't vote- It's just a list of brands, there is no way to actually "vote". When it comes to power, no one comes close to Onkyo/Integra,, so that's my vote, but I understand many people have reliability issues with them- not me though!

Yes it's 11 channels, and the inside of it looks impressive, but a max consumption of less than 800 watts? Don't expect it'll be enough for an 11 channel system, I'd stick with 7 channels if you want it to have any oomph.

So do audiophiles still look at the weight of the unit to infer the quality of the amplification? I guess it depends on how you word it, right? I'd say this unit weighs less than 40lbs- Not 'almost 40lbs'. For an 11 channel receiver, a flagship unit? That's puny!!

I'm not talking about the box, I'm talking about the whole thing- especially the driver that has to withstand tremendous amounts of pressure, maintain minimum distortion, and generate precise and fast transients. Ask any designer, they'll tell you it takes a lot more to make a great sealed sub-...

Another thing, why is everybody shocked that the price is still the same? you all are audiophiles, and you should know better. It takes a whole lot more than just a box with no hole to design a good sealed sub. Is it any surprise that most manufacturers opt for the easier design? In fact I'm...

Definitely sealed. I for one would never use a ported sub in a 2 channel system, but even in my home theater I'm using 2 sealed subs. It's amazing how after years and years of collective push by the mass media, and the manufaturer's agents within it, towards ported designs, the majority...

Compact powered speaker designers need to take into account that if you're providing a subwoofer output, you need to design the speaker for sealed operation and provide a port plug to be used when a sub is connected, better yet, make it sealed in the first place. I don't know why those designers...

I have their XBR from 2015 with the speakers on the side, it looks amazing- to me, of course- and sounds incredible compared to any TV out there, and no clutter. If B&W does something similar, I think it will work for a lot of people.

It makes sense for headphone use, but for built-in speakers in these devices, it's just rediculous to even bother- no processing in the wotld can make a tablet or smart phone speaker sound decent- NO WAY!

Really? Here's the spec from Outlaw's own website: Power Output: 140 watts RMS x 7 All Channels Driven simultaneously into 8 ohms from 20Hz to 20 kHz with @ 0.05% THD. 225 watts RMS into 4 ohms @ 0.05% THD Where does it say "7 X 225 Watts continuously"? You want to be critical, Outlaw is the...
