    The Best Loudspeakers We Heard at AXPONA 2025

    Very valid points. RBH doing manufacturing in the USA now probably saved the company as a result of this Tariff nonsense. Yes Norway has been kicking out some great speakers and their tariff penalty is much lower. I do worry for Perlisten and other brands manufacturing in China. I know it's not...

    The Best Loudspeakers We Heard at AXPONA 2025

    The fact that you're derailing this thread twice about this is cheesy. I asked James to cover cool speakers and new products. A subwoofer is still a speaker. Adding subwoofer to the page title would make it too long. How we choose to cover or label coverage of products isn't for you to decide...

    Denon AVR-5805 mk2 receiver

    that's a pretty crazy story and you're correct. The 5805 is the best AVR ever built IMO in terms of sheer power and sound quality. The HDMI failure sucks but you can have workarounds with separate HDMI switchers. Only negative is not lossless audio or Atmos but you can convert to MPCM from a UDH...

    Marantz av10 and amp 10

    I run all Perlisten speakers (90+dB sensitivity) and hear no hiss and certainly no static from my AMP 10. Are you using XLR or unbal? Make sure the input gains for each source on your processor aren't turned down below their default dB setting. The AV10 and AMP10 combo produce incredibly low...

    Marantz av10 and amp 10

    This is NOT true as you can see in my review. The amp will deliver 200wpc with 1 or 7 channels driven into 8 ohms. The supplies are tightly regulated so there's no sag. https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/marantz-amp-10-test-report
