SR8012 gets it next year.

Not that I'm aware of.

Denon and Marantz owners rejoice as select models receive firmware updates today with some impressive new features. eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel)—A feature introduced for HDMI 2.1, eARC will allow for additional formats to be transported including the below. Moreover, eARC includes a...

It's not exceedingly difficult to become a billionaire when you start off with 400+ million from daddy. JS

Thank you Ryan. I briefly tried Latuda but it made my already bad sinusitis a lot worse so I stopped it after 3 days. It also gave me hot flashes. Keep on going man. Know that people care for you and you can make a difference.

This is why for 90% of installs, it's best to run satellite speakers all around, multi-sub and 80Hz crossover. It really is the easiest thing to setup and understand for most consumers. Integrating tower speakers with subs is very tricky business.

I've been petitioning Denon and Yamaha for years. No luck. If you want that, you will have to goto products from Storm Audio, DataSAT and Emotiva (they listen). Sucks but it took me years to get Yamaha to change their 90Hz crossover for bass management. Maybe some day....

Ryan; I too have been struggling with depression. It can at times be debilitating as I lose all motivation to work and sometimes even the affections of my family and kids feel like nothing. I can only advise you to seek help like I've been doing. Talk therapy works and possible meds may be...

Double bass simply sends the main front speakers bass to the sub but the LFE does NOT get rerouted to the mains unless you turn the sub channel off. As far as I know, only custom processors like Datasat, Storm Audio and Emotiva give options to route LFE to the mains and to the subwoofer...

Really, you're going you have listeners place their head in a prefixed cavity? LOL. I've seen Geddes take on multi-sub and agree with some aspects of it but I do find some of his logic not too palatable. I do agree with the benefits of true fullrange towers as bass sources in a multi-sub...

With Oppo Digital going out of business, it was only a matter of time before another manufacturer would build an upscale UHD Blu-ray player to fill the void for players of this caliber. Does the new Pioneer UDP-LX500 4K UHD Universal Blu-ray player have what it takes to accomplish that...

The gloves are off. Sony is ready to do some battle in a potentially new format war that involves IMAX and DTS heavyweights vs Dolby.... Just when we thought Sony learned their lessons from past formats DOA, they are at it again this time by teaming up with IMAX and DTS along with select...

This article highlights the upgrades for Yamaha's new separates: Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200 Separates Sadly no 13.2CH processing, no Auro-3D, not sure about HDMI 2.1, no enhanced bass management stuff I've been asking for :(, only difference with new amp is ability to bridge front channels :(...

BC the japanese stuff typically does a lot more. American processors are often lacking in features and sometimes in performance. The AVP as a preamp/processor produced some of the best test bench results I've ever measured. If only they would have refreshed that unit with immersive surround...

SVS has recently discontinued the venerable PB13-Ultra 13" ported subwoofer and replaced it with their new PB-4000. Price remains the same but there are numerous upgrades to the PB-4000 that makes this subwoofer such a compelling, class leading product in its category. The PB-4000 takes a...

Before you go out and buy a new 4K/UHD TV, beware! Even though a TV may say 4K/UHD, it could be missing a critical feature, preventing you from getting the most from UltraHD content: High Dynamic Range or HDR. Believe it or not, not all 4K/UHD TVs support HDR. Therefore, let's look at why HDR...

Yea the MX-A5000 is akin to the amps that were in their flagship RX-Z9 and 11 receivers. They aren't dreadnoughts like the big ATI amps but they do give you very good amplifier quality, and decent power for up to 11 channels in a single chassis. There are very few 10 or 11CH amplifier choices on...

I've been using the MX-A5000 to power all the speakers in my 11.2 system except the mains and believe it or NOT, it's more than capable. I've never observed any noticeable power limiting and the amp never overheated or enabled the fans even when I was slamming it with a Porcupine Tree Blu-ray...

Yea I'm a bit underwhelmed by this announcement. I was hoping they'd upgrade to 13.2, offer an option to recombine LFE to the main channels, and offer an upgrade path to HDMI 2.2. The amp is virtually the same though you can now bridge the front channels for seemingly 2X the power. These are...

I'm glad they aren't using the Kevlar drivers anymore. I've always found them to sound somewhat colored and nasally. I heard the continuum driver tech on their new 700 and 800 series over the last 2 years and really liked the sonic improvements in both series as a result.
