    $100k Bookshelf Speaker or a New Mercedes?

    The Børresen Acoustics M1 doesn’t look too different from other high-end two-way bookshelf speakers, but its $100,000 price tag suggests that there is more to them than meets the eye. Even if you think the price is ridiculous, you might be fascinated to learn about this speaker’s unique...

    Integra DRX-8.4 11.2CH Flagship AVR Better than Denon?

    Since Pioneer and Integra are clones of each other, I'm combining both flagship receiver preview articles into the same forum thread. Most of the features of the Integra DRX-8.4 are carried over to Pioneer. Is the new Pioneer VSX-LX805 a poor man's Integra? Read: Pioneer Elite VSX-LX805 -...

    Time for an update, been 25 years

    Of your choices here, I'd go the Paradigm route. 800Fs are way better than they should be at their price. The 500C center is superb. Polk R700s are a step above but you have to get the costlier L400 center to get a true 3-way design. If you've got more budget, the MartinLogan F100s are...

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

    Even though it is not a monster sub, the Speedwoofer 10S mkii has been hugely successful for RSL Speakers and our 2022 Product of the Year budget sub.

    Recommendation: RBH Speakers needs a good receiver

    A, B and C are all good choices depending on your level of calibration prowess. Dirac is more powerful than Arc Genesis and Audyssey but is more challenging to use. Audyssey gives mixed results if you don't carefully tweak. Arc Genesis is the easiest and most consistent room correction of the 3...
