    JBL Releases Updated Iconic JBL L100 Speakers

    If I had a room for them, I'd take em, but the grille covers would have to go. I can't imagine how poorly they affect HF response. Just a bad idea IMO.

    Denon AVR-X8500H World's First 13.2CH AV Receiver

    It's a stupid rating they started doing with Atmos receivers with 1CH driven at 10% THD+N at 6 ohms as you can see in my AVR-X5200W: http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/denon-avr-x5200w/measurements It's confusing, misleading and should be eliminated or at least ignored IMO.

    Bass trapping below 80hz, practical or not?

    The Last Jedi

    Very true. Just like with Star Trek Discovery, all of the characters in the Disney Star Wars movies are unrememberable. I thought it was just me showing my age and diminished short term memory. But, it's the fact that both of these franchises lack character development and synergy with each...

    Sound United Announces Acquisition of Classé Audio

    Sound United is the entity that owns these brands. I assume the engineering staff for each brand is still self contained similar to how Harman engineers are still with Harman despite being bought out by Samsung. I do have a conference call planned after CES to find out more about the Sound...

    Can I Use Regular Speakers as Dolby Atmos Upfiring?

    Yes simply placing an Atmos speaker on top of an ear level companion speaker has a lot of problems in both localization and in a poor ability to reflect the sound without it scattering too much prior and/or blurring the sound of the companion speaker. Getting it above ear level will help, but...
