    Classe Sigma Series AV Processor and Amplifier Interview

    Regular readers will have noticed that Classe released their new entry level lineup at CEDIA 2014, the Sigma series. While we were able to get some of the basic information like amplifier ratings, the finer details of these new components were sparse at the time. Fortunately, Audioholics was...

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    You don't need to cover the entire floor with carpet. However, if you have parallel hard surfaces like wood floor and drywall ceiling, you will get a ton of slap echo. You need to treat the ceiling with some absorption in those cases if you will want to see the nice wood flooring.

    New Audioholics Forum Debug Thread

    Adam, All; If you think it's better to have no signature images then by all means remove it. I agree people can post images in threads instead. I agree that just seeing thread titles via mobile is a bit constrained. I see the same on my iphone 5. Perhaps a short description of each forum...

    BE careful with wood floors. That will change your bass pretty drastically. Also if you don't have a throw rug at the first reflection point, you're not going to like the sound.

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    You're insane! What are those red things to the sides of the speakers? Perhaps you can swap them to get more distance between your mains? Also put the carpet spikes as it will help clean up bass response. Just put a coin under the spikes so you don't damage your rug.

    Denon and Marantz Offer Auro-3D Upgrade on Select AV Receiver Models

    We have been inundated with news of Dolby Atmos and its new height and ceiling speakers over the last few months. With little word from Auro-3D and DTS UHD, we thought that Atmos would rule the roost for at least a model year as the other formats rush to market.We couldn't have been more wrong...

    Sure I think it's ok to be able to have up to 2 images in the signature. Perhaps you can limit the file size to 150k or less?

    Dolby Atmos Speaker Application Question

    Agreed and I've been testing Atmos enabled speakers on an Atmos system and the Atmos speakers were really the limiting factor. They simply didn't match the tonality of dynamics of the rest of the speakers in my system. Also the elevation effect evaporates if your too far away from an Atmos...

    There is a way but for now it's kind of stupid. You have to open the post and exit the conversation to delete it. You can't select all to delete for now till Xenforo upgrades that.

    Question about Bi-Polar speakers

    Sorry I meant a hybrid Bipole like the RBH 44-se and 66se where the MT driver arrays are on an angle rather than 180 deg apart like a Bipole tower speaker.

    Question about Bi-Polar speakers

    Bipoles are generally a better option than Dipoles b/c the former keeps all drivers in phase and thus still provides some of the best attributes of a monopole but with broader sound coverage for multiple rows of seats. I personally use a variant of them as side channels in 2 of my theater...

    Preliminary Dolby Atmos Results in Audioholics Showcase Theater Room

    I tried to use the most affordable speakers I have on hand to do this demo to represent what the average person buying a $2k receiver would use. The problem I am finding is that the sonic characteristics of the RBH and SVS speakers are so superior to the Def Tech A60 Atmos modules that they...

    Preliminary Dolby Atmos Results in Audioholics Showcase Theater Room

    Yes I have the new Denon AVR-X5200W Dolby Atmos AV receiver and the Dolby Atmos Demo disc for August 2014. Enrique Iglesias music video is pretty awesome and has lots of extra effects that make the surround sound very engaging.

    Preliminary Dolby Atmos Results in Audioholics Showcase Theater Room

    <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Just set up Atmos in 5.1.4 in my theater room. Listening to Atmos A60 modules the sound was greatly improved with Audyssey. Without Audyssey they sounded more congested and boxy with more sound radiating directly from the speaker instead of projecting...
