A lot of demands from someone getting some of the best AV related content online absolutely FREE without ever showing any support for the website. We'll get right on it for you. Anything else? :rolleyes:

If you only buy a speaker based on a few measurements then that would be true. If you spent more time reading the commentary around the measurements and watching our discussion to better understand the implications, you would be able to make a more educated purchasing decision. There are...

My fun car is my 2018 BMW M240i. It's a sport coupe pretending to be a 4-seater. Not very comfy for my daughter to sit in the back seat. I need a second car that I can haul the family comfortably and also move boxes regularly. I don't like trucks. I'm tired of driving a Minivan. So a crossover...

I'm in the same boat. My wife's aging Honda Minivan is due for replacement. I tried to like Tesla but can't stand the large computer screen attached to a kitchen countertop. The floorboards sound hollow (Model Y) and the build quality is subpar for the asking price. The new Fisker Ocean looks...

IN A WORLD WHERE - sound quality has been crushed beneath the hegemony of convenience and scale, young music fans learned to actually prefer the tinny tones of compression and exaggerated recording levels while dynamic range and fidelity became distant memories. Into this dystopian world where...

Our measurements are far more detailed than those of Stereophile and we don't see any issues you're concerned about in the spacing of the drivers. In fact, it's one of the best measuring speakers we've ever reviewed.

The main L/R channels don't have the increased distortion at the preamp level. However, ALL channels have higher distortion (70dB SINAD) regardless of input level drive.

I'll change the header to "HDMI Source".

I tried different HDMI inputs and the problem persisted. I have probably close to 100 measurements I've captured but only published a fraction of them in the report.

It depends on your needs. Denon doesn't have the channel count or advanced bass routing. It's sad that some people think they can equate product performance to a single SNR measurement.

Yea it's OK. I put content on Patreon first as one of the perks but I've that people have been waiting awhile on this. I spent more time testing and reconfirmed my results on this product than any other product I've measured prior.

It's going live tomorrow. Pace yourself people

You're probably right. However there is likely a Opamp buffer stage between the pre and power amp causing higher distortion in the amp section than there should be. Again likely not audible but academic nonetheless.

Damn man, you beat me to the scheduled release for tomorrow. There are some pretty significant things that need to be addressed and Yamaha is already planning changes in the next gen models as a result.

Thanks for posting this. I've had the software for a couple of months, just no chance to test yet. Please try to enter the PEQ/FIR manual filters without running Audyssey to see if it will let you do that. I'm hopeful it will which would allow for quick manual calibration which would be awesome.

I mean I always assumed when the word "Review" wasn't in the page title, and there were no subjective listening impressions, most people would recognize they aren't reviews. Also, if you go to the folder where the contents are, we have reviews on the left column and previews on the right column...

Nice expose but not surprising. The "challenge" was a facade as Ted simultaneously threatened litigation towards me.

Much more sophisticated bass management, more discrete channels, better calibration options, etc... I've been through the spectrum of both so I speak from experience. However, if you're just running a basic system (7.2.4) with conventional bass management, an AVR with separate amps is sufficient...

Best of all, it works, no bugs or field beta testing required :)
