Would also be nice if the home version of Atmos truly did speaker mapping as what was being claimed. Right now it appears you MUST use the exact speaker placements Dolby is recommending to take advantage of Atmos. If your running just a standard 5.1 or 7.1 speaker configuration today and do...

yes and with similar bandwidth and dynamic capabilities. :cool:

The magic DSP processing of Atmos that Dolby has yet to publicly disclose somehow makes this speaker a "preferred" solution over a discrete ceiling mounted option. :rolleyes:

Guys; We made some updates to our Atmos article based on the Dolby Atmos marketing literature posted at AVS Forum. So please have a second pass at the editorial now. Dolby Atmos For Home Theater Explained with Video Interview | Audioholics Notice the proposed Atmos speaker diagram attached...

Watch the video again. Just b/c the CD format is technically superior to Vinyl doesn't mean that the media is being used to its full potential to take advantage of its superiority. Just b/c we can measure something (small differences in cables) doesn't mean we can declare audibility either...

We just uploaded a Youtube Debate on this topic to support the article. I hope you enjoy. http://youtu.be/hh-23EUP-s8

UPDATE to the Review: It’s important to note that even though this unit says it supports UHD/4K pass-through, there’s was caveat during the time of writing this review at least. Our review sample of the RX-V577 could only pass UHD signals at a maximum of 30fps (frames per second)...

Yep it is horrible. My parents have it enabled on their TV and they won't let me turn it off. Its painful to watch when I visit so most of the time I have them visit us instead ;)

All very valid points of concern. There are some folks on AVS Forum that have heard the demo and liked it but I suspect they liked the ambient effects the atmos speakers were providing since I too share your sentiment that they will provide questionable accuracy for directionality and even then...

Unfortunately I'm the only person at Audioholics with the proper gear and know-how to measure amplifier performance. I reserve doing that for products that are interesting to measure. As you stated, measuring a $500 receiver has little value but getting a flagship product or monobloc amp is...

I say it b/c 4-5 years ago 3D was the BUZZ word all over the industry and especially at the tradeshows. Now you barely hear about it and most people don't even use the feature when they have it. You see less and less Display manufacturers promoting it now as they are all going for 4k. Let's...

You may have those gains at certain frequencies depending on location measured. You won't get those gains at all frequencies however like you would if all of the subs were in exact same location.

You should read the Harman papers on this very topic as well as the articles I've written. You don't get the kind of gains you think you do if the subs aren't colocated. The advantage of non-colocated multi-subs is for smoothing bass response not for gaining sheer output. In fact 4 midwall...

I was on the Cruise to the Edge and had to endure Chris Squire's ego driven bass cranked to vol 11. It was quite painful especially when he guest appeared with Steve Hackett and totally ruined a Jimmy Hendrix song. The guy knows no limits to his ego. I hate to say it but Yes is better off...

A Note about Amplifier Price Guys seeing the BIG difference in price between powered and non-powered versions of this sub, I asked RBH for the scoop on this. Here is what they said: <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <![endif]-->

Part of that is true. Having all of the drivers on the front baffle looks more impressive. Side firing woofers can be tricky to place in a room. So there you go.

You can't just go by surface area alone, excursion must also be factored in else we could just use 100 1" tweeters to get the same bass output of a single 10" driver :)

Here is the price breakdown of the various iterations of this subwoofer: <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Subwoofer: RBH SX-1212N Passive Subwoofer $1450 Subwoofer: RBH SX-1212P Powered Subwoofer $2300 Subwoofer: RBH SX-1212N/R Passive Subwoofer $2430 Subwoofer: RBH...

Maybe the meaning of your message was lost in cyberspace but I fail to see how Mcintosh amps are more "realistic" in the power department. Last time I checked McIntosh also builds 2kwatt Monobloc amplifiers. McIntosh MC2KW Amplifier, 1 Channel 2000 Watts McIntosh MC2KW Amplifier You're not...
