How Many Speakers Do you Need for Proper Dolby Atmos Playback in the Home?

We recently hosted a livestream with recording and mixing engineer John Traunwieser, whose credits include work on multiple Star Wars movies and other big titles, to discuss the ins and outs of Dolby Atmos. This article offers a brief explanation of how Dolby Atmos works, and how best to set up...

Good to see a fan of our site for so long. I think you are referring to this shoot out from a very long time ago: https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/2010-subwoofer-shootout We have a continuously updated database of EVERY subwoofer we reviewed and measured in excel form on our...

I'd jump on a 4700h over 3800h if those are your two choices.

There is no D&M anymore. Denon and Marantz are owned by Massimo and prior by Sound United. The performance issues I've been finding on latest Yamaha's aren't DAC related. Look at my measurements of the RX-A6A and I believe the issues I found were related to the VC circuits I believe. They will...

Make sure you listen to this song on your Tarkus speakers!

Yes unfortunately the AKM and other supply chain issues causes problems with existing parts and swapping to alternatives without a redesign is challenging. Marantz sent me a post covid SR8015 and I found it's distortion to be significantly higher than the SR8015 I reviewed that's still in my AV...

Too thin to be an effective absorber for anything other than high frequencies.

Be careful with Andrew's "reviews". Production value is off the charts but he puts forth very little technical knowledge and his reviews are purely subjective often with little basis in facts, IMO. Both the Denon and Onkyo have a 9CH amp built in so if you want to run 4 heights, you can't run...

You're confusing impedance of a speaker vs the switch setting. Of course you will get more power at 6 ohms than 8 ohms if the voltage is held constant. Basic ohms law. The amp is supplying more current. Flipping the impedance switch to 6 ohms will NEVER produce more power for any load the AVR...

Last minute entry..... Best Power Amplifier NAD M23 | Review | Buy Now MSRP: $3,749 It's not often that we measure a product that is so low in noise and distortion that it forces us to improve our very own test rig to more accurately measure just how good it is. The NAD M23 is such a...

The link is in the first post.

We are 5 episodes in and I'm really liking it. The actress portraying Wednesday is brilliant. Her character borders on being a Mary-Sue but she does such a good job that it's not annoying or preachy like a Michael Burnham from Star Trek.

Yea agreed. It's why we don't do many contests outside the USA.

2022 has been a year of returning to normal for the most part. We've come a long way on the pandemic and supply chain problems that helped make ‘22 a great year to escape into music and movies in home systems we enjoyed with family and friends. As the industry bounces back from previous year's...

That doesn't make sense based on ANY of the power testing I've done on Yamaha receivers over the last 20 years. They ALWAYS produce LESS power in the low impedance mode. I would double check this switch setting if I were you and restart the power each time you do. The low impedance mode goes to...

For an Audioholics reader, I will sell for $1500+shipping. I've had it since I bench tested 6 month or so ago. Factory box, documentation all included. PM me if interested.

The M60v3 we used in our shootout had no HPF on the mid and would trip the impedance circuit of a Marantz PM-11S2 at high listening levels with bass intense music. The impedance minima near DC was lower than 5 ohms from my measurements as a result of paralleling the woofers and mid...

Axiom M60s are a pretty difficult load since they parallel the mid with the woofers with no HP so you need an AVR that can drive low impedance loads IF you run them full range. Those are both good receiver choices, however. Too bad you're in Canada or I'd sell you my slightly used RX-A6A for a...
