Really great article, I just have a clarity question, in the thread for the IQ audio mono block amp it was mentioned that efficiency and a lack of dynamic headroom are related. Is that only true for units using SMPS power supplies? In this article you mention that Class D amps with linear power...

Atmos doesn't use channels in it's encoding Since Atmos is based on spatial representation (3d position with a volume) of the sounds instead of just being channel driven won't it help somewhat with all of that except speaker quality? Atmos requires speaker calibration which would include...

Right now the different versions are mixed as specific channels, Atmos is different. I thought the point of atmos was that instead of a sound being specific to a speaker channel it gave the noise a position in space and measures the positions of your speakers and then recreates the sound as...

I was following this conversation betwen Jinjuku and RichB who know way more than me on this stuff: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/amps-pre-pros-receivers/89236-iq-audio-m300-monoblock-amplifier-review.html and one of the things pointed out by the pros was that class D subs have no...

My buddy just got a set of these and I'm looking forward to getting to listen!

Class D amp shootout I'm also with the guys above thinking it would be really great to see a bunch of reviews of this amp class and an overview of the differences to compare what everyone doing. For instance Axiom redesigned their class D and the other brands mentioned earlier would all be...

I thought about this some more and feel like I'm missing something here. I thought most subs used class D (I'm fairly ignorant so I may be completely wrong). They still state power at peak and RMS. What does that mean then? For instance, here is the power rating for the class D amp in...

I'm excited for this! I just wish iOS had APT-X. I already have the HK BT headphones and Apt-X makes a huge difference with those.

Ah OK, that makes sense, I always forget that trade off with zoom lenses. It only works the way I was thinking if you can actually replace the lens to maintain your aperture.

Very nice write up! Good shortcuts and tips to keep you from having to re-position the screen later. I'm going to disagree with this article on one point: "Note that the closer the projector is to the screen the brighter the image will be. You can always turn the brightness up or down to suit...

Seems weird to be in the gadget business and not review BT. Also strange to an "audio guy" not impressed with Aperion considering Stereoholics, Audioholics, Home Theater, Sound and Vision, HTGuys, CNET and quite a few of the smaller guys all gave Aperions speakers rave reviews... I know cause I...

I've never though of this before but it raises a lot of questions for me. Can Class A/B amps hit that peak power across the frequency range? Or will you still see clipping at certain frequencies? And do you even need the headroom since the class D won't clip? How often do you have non repetitive...

Zomby, I'd definitely do a listening test. I live just down the road from these guys and they are true audio engineers. Woofer sizes, tweeter materials, 1Khz tests are all junk to some extent until you hear the sound. As an Aperion owner and having visited these guys show room pretty regularly...

Well we all knew it was possible but it's awesome to see a truly kick *** Class D design. I hope these guys make it or at the least that their tech gets bought by a big player and we see a lot more products along this line, especially 2 channel and 7 channel versions! But seriously I love...

I wasn't clear if that was lossless audio on 32 channels. Anyone know if there is heavy compression going on there?

Acoustic screen with just the center behind it? You said: "Perforated screens are ALWAYS a compromise for critical two-channel performance not just for the slight losses in high frequencies, but the diffraction they cause if NOT perfectly flush mounted near the speakers. The primary emphasis...

I might have missed it but have you considered used? I got a great 5.1 set of 2 year old Aperions for 800 bucks. Yeah the towers are the 4t but the center is a 5c and it's a stellar system.

Mic included So I'm assuming a mic is included too? Or how does the software know what to correct? Do I have to bring in my measurements from another program and iteratively come to the best solution?
