    Bowers & Wilkins Releases 801& 804 D4 Signature Speakers Demo Audible Improvements!

    I plan on this when I get caught up. Still hoping the f328s will sound good in my guest room before writing them off. But they are definitely an overhyped brand based on my multiple experiences.

    5hz -3db in my room so far and likely bc my microphone isn't accurate below 10hz. This 21" is an absolute beast.

    Bowers & Wilkins Releases 801& 804 D4 Signature Speakers Demo Audible Improvements!

    If you need a blind listening test to enjoy a poorly tuned speaker, something is really wrong. I replaced my Revels with active RBH towers and I can finally enjoy music in my upstairs system. The Revels are now in the guest room where even a pair of B&W 704s2s sounded good. If they don't sound...

    Bowers & Wilkins Releases 801& 804 D4 Signature Speakers Demo Audible Improvements!

    I have a reference speaker in my house from a company that wrote the book on "established science" and guess what? It's the speaker we listen to the least in the entire house. It has almost no room gain for bass and despite it having three 8" woofers, it needs a sub to sound full range. I also...

    ASR review of Pioneer VSX-LX505 (Onkyo RZ50)

    Yes I'm well aware. I brought this up about Integra long before the ASR measurements of Pioneer/Onkyo. https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/integra-drx-4.2-drx-4.3-9.2-channel-av-receiver-review Onkyo has very aggressive protection circuits and this was from a linear AB design. I did...

    ASR review of Pioneer VSX-LX505 (Onkyo RZ50)

    some Class D amps are very tricky to measure properly using typical sinewave testing. It's a gray area which is why I never listen audio gear with measurements but with real world testing. If I saw the Pascal measurements before listening to the actual amp, I'd likely write it off as mediocre...

    ASR review of Pioneer VSX-LX505 (Onkyo RZ50)

    A test condition that will never happen in real life. Try measuring a Class D Pascal amp. It doesn't like continuous sine waves much but man do those amps sound stellar with tons of dynamic range and output.

    RSL Digs Deep to 16Hz with new Speedwoofer 12S for $800!

    The RSL Speedwoofer 12S builds on the venerable 10S MK2 but with a larger 12” driver and enclosure with 16Hz extension for only $800. We reviewed the 12S and put it through music and movie torture testing and CEA-2010 and found it to be a significant upgrade from the Speedwoofer 10S. It’s not...

    or it's just another product you can't afford and hate when someone from the press is invited out for a demo and opportunity to write about. Gotta take the bad with the good readers of Audioholics :rolleyes:
