    Anthem MRX 740 vs MRX 1140 AV Receiver Bench Test Comparison!

    It's most likely with the 4th order LPF slope fix I asked them to do is the max rolloff with or without ARC engaged. I will test this when I run the speaker calibration.

    Anthem MRX 740 vs MRX 1140 AV Receiver Bench Test Comparison!

    You're overthrowing this. I don't think ARC changes filter slopes. It just manipulates amplitude response and adjusts crossover points.

    Anthem MRX 740 vs MRX 1140 AV Receiver Bench Test Comparison!

    Ideally you want 12dB/oct HPF on the satellite speakers and 24dB/oct on the sub channel. If you're satellites already have 12db/oct slope acoustically, then they integrate properly with the sub at XOVER. In practice, these slopes work really well in most cases.

    Just In Time Manufacturing a Thing of the Past?

    Much of the best audiophile gear is made here in the United States but it is close to impossible to build these products without parts/chips/etc which are all made in China.

    How bout dem Oscars !

    There is more to this story than meets the eye. Imagine your wife on public television confessing that she bangs your son's best friends for "therapy". That would be debilitating and humiliating for any man. Will laughed at the joke until his wife gave him a look. He's a defeated man and I...

    Atmos Speaker Tilting

    If you properly place your height speakers and choose wide dispersion speakers, you shouldn't need to aim them. I typically install my top fronts + 20deg from MLP and my Top rears -20deg from MLP and I have flat and even dispersion across all my seats out to 20kHz. My back row suffers a bit but...

    Anthem MRX 740 vs MRX 1140 AV Receiver Bench Test Comparison!

    Yamaha RX-V6A is their lower end units. I actually bench tested the RX-A6A and found measurable issues that Yamaha and others would have likely missed: https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/yamaha-rx-a6a It's an advantage to have an 8CH HDMI Audio Analyzer as I've found most 3rd...

    Audyssey MultEQ-X New Mic, Features and Livestream Discussion!

    The fact that you can design filters manually now is a big deal to me. The phone App was very difficult to use. I will soon be testing MultEQ-X on my Perlisten speaker system to see if it "improves" the sound of this system. What I most need help with is below 300Hz and confident this software...
