Now THIS was a REVIEW! Finally a look at the drivers, crossovers and insides of an Ultra Series loudspeaker! Would be nice if we could have the same done to the Ultra Series Tower speakers toooo

Man....too bad the SVS Ultra Towers didn't get peeked in like the bookshelf speakers Would've loved to see the quality of the drivers and crossovers in the towers

Again no receiver measurements? Ugh.......

jn, What about Line conditioners in Surge Protectors and stand alone Line Conditioners and last question, is it safe to daisy chain one surge protector into another surge protector for the assumed benefit of doubling joule ratings ( i.e. 1500 joules in each bar x 2 = 3000 joule of protection)...

I gave up on this website/forum after I felt i was receiving very little/poor help from some members ( TBH I felt westom wasn't giving me a direct yes/no answer the way you just did for a reason ) and even the main guys running the site ( I emailed gene a few times with my questions and didn't...

If you look at the last slide or so of the presentation you will see "Recommendations" and a bullet note that said to include higher res HD files for the next study

Found this and thought id share. Double blind study done by McGill University on music - CD quality vs mp3 - Can a trained listener hear a difference? http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~hockman/documents/Pras_presentation2009.pdf I know this topic probably has been debated to death.....but...

I have another question for you smart people. How much wattage would one need to run a speaker fullrange? I know the question is silly because I don't have any speaker in particular...but I'm just curious what the general concensus would be on this matter

Wow that was a REALLY helpful list. "2. The 4520 has better build quality; it's built in Japan (not China) and has higher quality speaker binding posts for example" Just the binding posts eh? I still dont even know what built in Japan is suppose to mean. The x4000 seems well built too unless...

I own the X4000 and I love it. It's sublime.

LOL niceeeeee

Not a similar story but one company using a mishap to their advantage was Marantz where a stereo receiver of theirs was destroyed in a fire but miraculously the owner found it, plugged it in and it worked like before the fire. Marantz took this and made an ad " We didn't start the fire "...

I asked this in another thread but I'll ask here to since different users are subscribed to each..... I'm currently on the fence between the Denon X4000 and the Denon 4520ci. I'm worried about quality control issues since my X4000 has a small very small bugaboo with its usb dongle which...

What benefit does a "Made in Japan" receiver have? Is it worth a substantial price increase?

So it's the music' fault now? LOL

In the event of being driven into clipping I too would assume the amp would shut down. It wouldn't be far fetched to make that assumption; emotiva amps are exceptionally engineered and seem to be assembled with a high execution. So it wouldn't be stupid to think its not a manufacturing/operating...

Wouldnt bring this up again if I didnt have to but... Ive found several instances of conflicting info about passive bi amping. Source? Several review completed by Gene and crew way back where they all reviewed certain receivers with passive bi amping capabilites AND even used it to conduct...

The reason you're not seeing the woofers on the Polk's move is either because of the alignment they're in or because they have very limited excursion limits. Thank you. This never came across my mind and I agree with this 100%. Like someone said earlier, we dont know what type of drivers are...

Because it has a cool factor of 1 000 000 000 x 10. Thats like asking someone why would they want to leave their speaker grilles off all the time when the speaker performs perfectly well with them on. Sometimes speakers, especially full range towers, just look bad-*** with the grilles off...

I think when I asked about woofer excursion some of you folks may have assumed I would be entering a domain where speaker damage or threatning distortion levels would be present....I would not want that at all obviously. However to show you guys what I had in mind when I set out to create this...
