    Definitive Technology Incline Desktop Speakers Review

    In case @TheoN is still around or someone else can help, I'm puzzled by the following parts of the review. "It’s not immediately obvious, but the Incline speakers can process the USB signal from your computer in two different ways. The first (and default) method allows you to adjust the volume...

    Why no HK reviews?

    They're already online for <$2K, but I agree it's still kind of high.

    Why no HK reviews?

    True, but it was a race to market for each format, so I wouldn't expect them to worry about the new formats at that point. Don't you think future players will send out decoded DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD? If they don't, it gives not-so-early-adopter receiver owners less reason to buy a...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    "All sound in small rooms suffer from standing waves Using chirp tones simply masks them (it doesn't eliminate them) since they lack the resolution of conventional test tones." I wouldn't call it masking. It takes several cycles to pump up a resonance to its full amplitude, so a short...

    Why no HK reviews?

    "HDMI Ver 1.3 is the only way you will be able to transmit the new high res formats in the digital domain and have you processor/receiver do all of the processing and bass management." PCM is digital, and allows all the BM, surround processing, room correction, etc. to be done in the digital...

    Why no HK reviews?

    Fair enough. I'm not quite sure what the Pricegrabber comment means. HK doesn't seem picky about sales channels; their stuff is available just about everywhere on the 'net.

    Why no HK reviews?

    Not to single out Audioholics (OK, I am, but for the right reasons), but it's very curious that the entire last generation of HK receivers (x35) seems to have escaped the attention of professional reviewers. I guess I need to modify that; some at the low end of the line might have been, but I'm...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    Gene, " If the DVD player decodes the format then all you need is HDMI 1.1 :-)" "Sure if you want to rely on the dismal bass management, time delay, etc of most DVD players. " I thought, perhaps mistakenly, receivers w/HDMI 1.1 would accept the decoded PCM output and apply BM, etc. to...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    "That is a ridiculous reason to NOT purchase a product. Thats like saying you won't buy a new car because it has Cruise Control. The 4306 is a phenominally good receiver, perhaps the best in its class. The Audyssey feature is icing on the cake and does NOT define the product. Most...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    BTW Chris, I don't mean to be a thorn in your side; I've been getting ever closer to getting a 4306 or 4806, the #1 reason being MultEQ, and this has stopped me in my tracks.

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    Gene, "Basically what I am saying is below 100Hz you will most likely achieve more accurate and predictable results with: 1) No Audyssey Muti EQ at All..." Well, yes. Don't you agree that it's a big difference from what Audyssey claims? Thanks

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    Hi Chris, From the review: "It seems ever since we discovered the lack of bass correction below 100Hz in our AVR-5805 review, the Audyssey fix has tapered off the high end response while still NOT addressing bass frequencies below 100Hz adequately." I don't know what to make of your not...

    So what's up with Denon's AVR-4806?

    Best thing to me is that it will have Audyssey's MultEQ room correction system.

    Audyssey MultEQ

    The Denon 4805 will have the full version, MultEQ XT. Unverified info is that MSRP is $3K (hopefully street closer to $2K) and will have 130 Wpc. There is a thread at AVS Forum where Chris K. of Audyssey gives lots of good info...
