c. Yamaha From most reviews, they're one of the few companies that has reliable HDMI. I own one, older, Yamaha receiver. If works great and sounds good. If it is a question about a stand alone processor, and based on sound, the Emotiva XMC-1 is my choice, due to Dirac room correction and how...

Tried the demo and it wasn't "mind blowing". The mids and the bass were slightly enhanced, but nothing that can't be done with a standard graphic equalizer. Beryllium is used in the headphone drivers. Don't know if this is a concern. Some have argued that it can be a health risk.

Here is another option that should be out before the end of the year. https://us.creative.com/sxfi/

Already subscribed to both newsletters. I have the following sub-woofers. Revel Concerta B120, 2 M&K V1250THXs, and 1 M&K MX-350THX. While the M&Ks are very musical they lack the slam of the Revel. The Revel has slam but isn't as smooth and works great for movies. I'm in the process of...

Yamaha NS-1000 uses a dome beryllium mid and tweeter. Paradigm may be the only company currently producing beryllium drivers in their mid-range and high frequency drivers. I wonder if the 1000s can benefit from the lenses? Likely a futile notion that the lenses can be acquired from Paradigm...

I'd also look into Elac. They give you a trial and if you're meticulous and keep things looking new you'll benefit from their 30 day trial for in home audition. They pay return shipping if you're not sold that they're for you. You should receive a full refund if they are like new condition. The...

This is one of my favorite reviews of all time. A review of reviews! Very entertaining and insightful. It addresses the subjectivity that goes into an article. I have read reviews that seemed like the writer was having a good time being creative. It is likely becoming more difficult to be on the...

"It is like the musicians were in the room!" All I know is that I won't ever use eq in my system because I want to hear the music exactly like they heard it in the studio. Before I play any music I find out what studio it was recorded in, buy the same studio monitors, use the same cables, the...

X-over's transition from the bass driver to the mid-range seems very high at 1200 Hz. I'm not an expert, but the pricing seems too good to be true for good quality parts to be used. Are these speakers the "new & improved" "White Van" models? I like the aesthetics of these speakers. If they...

The UPA-200 is slightly heavier so it may be more than an illusion. I would have thought exactly the opposite given the extra parts that have to go into the 5 channel UPA-500. The 500 is also rated @ 450 watts Max & the 200 is @ 350 for the ps when viewing the back panel. Although after looking...

Live in Tyler I live in Tyler. If your deal with phillip falls through I'm interested. I may be in the DFW area this weekend. Can you give any specs on this? Mainly interested in the output.

Pics? Can you post some pics? Thanks!

Type of Headphones Over the ear enclosed. More comfortable and usually better bass reproduction.

R30's R30's are actually better sounding speakers than the R50's. The R50's are larger but the vocal's/midrange is much more articulate in the R30's. At $80 a pair it would be hard to get a better pair of inexpensive speakers. The R30's use to sell for around $200 each at CC a while back...

M&K's I have a pair of M&K s100b's (also 4 ohms) that I have connected to a Pioneer VSX-1015 and have never had any problems. M&K's are very efficient so it sounds like your amp. I would try disconnecting the center channel and set the center channel to off/no in your speaker settings on the...

Universal Remote Radioshack's Kameleon 8-in-1 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...

Authorized dealer? Are you an authorized dealer for any of these name brands? If not, factory warranties will not apply. If so, what is the name of your business so I can verify for Pioneer Elite?

I'm selling two Polk R30 speakers brand new. Black cabinets. These have never been hooked up to a receiver. They sound great and are very sleek so they will look as good as they sound. They can be yours for $245 + actual shipping charges! These speakers usually retail for at least $340-400...

Room Acoustics Room acoustics is certainly the most dynamic because there are simply so many different materials involved, deminsional differences/variations, and variables for equpiment and furniture placement. It's also very time consuming, physically exhausting, and mentally challenging...
