Cabinet resonance matters for the entire audio band. Yes and RBH has a very similar speaker in a wood cabinet for under $2k/pr as I mentioned in the review. That is a high value product that most people would opt for.

Or wealthy audiophiles in general that want the very best performance from a bookshelf speaker with the most inert cabinet possible.

There was no smoothing. These are in-room measurements gated to remove room effects below 200Hz. These speakers measure that good!

Wow if the fact that we provide a venue of well written educated articles FREE of service to you pisses you off then you need to possibly take up a more peaceful hobby. US + Canada is our majority demographic and to quote Captain Spock, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few...or...

I understand and wish we could cover all of the products but we have to make decisions to cover the stuff that is most commonly available to our demographic of readership. I don't push us into the high end market too often b/c so much of our readership, especially on the forums scoff at...

It doesn't matter that Audioholics has the largest readership in the industry dwarfing magazines like Stereophile. We aren't backed by a multimillion dollar magazine publisher. We use our limited resources to work with brands that respect the online magazine model. Many of the brands you...

I was actually leaning towards Bootmagz for its simplicity but we will likely do a combo of the best of all 3. Summarize is nice but too complicated IMO. I want the site to be easy to navigate and be very visual. I like the rotating featured article of Bootmagz but I also like the layout of...

Well stated Tom. I think it's also important to look at group delay and bandwidth linearity as well. Low group delay + wide bandwidth often equates to "musical" subwoofers. After running countless sweep tests and CEA tests I can tell you that audibility of distortion starts happening when the...

Not to toot our own horn but Audioholics amplifier measurements and analysis goes much deeper than any other AV Magazine in the industry including Stereophile. Also we are the only publication I know of using the $40k APx585 HDMI Audio Analyzer.

Sheep; I hear the 4cyl TLX will have a sport suspension but the 6cyl will not. If that's true, that's a real shame b/c I don't want a 4 banger but I do want sport suspension. After looking at the market in the $40k segment, the TLX seems like it will be a good deal since Audi's are all FWD in...

Guys; We are looking towards refreshing the Audioholics Editorial site. Here are a few template options which would be customized to fit our site and look. <!--[if gte mso 9]><![endif]--> Option 1: Summarize Summarize - Responsive Blog/Magazine Option #2: Magazine 686 686 Magazine Option...

Good points. However I don't want a V8. I want a 300hp V6 RWD car that gets 20mpg+ city and 30mpg+ highway that comfortably seats 4 people. That was why I was thinking a 2012 BMW 335i which has high JD Power ratings for reliability. Oddly the 2013 model appears to be a lemon. No idea why...

Happy Wife = Happy Life :)

Sheep have you seen/driven a new Acura TLX yet? What will the price be on a V6 Auto? Will they offer Sport Suspension? I don't really want SH-AWD b/c of cost and weight. Just wondering. thx.

That is the best looking 4G TL I've seen but it looks to be modded with those rims and brake calipers. That's not a stock offering and of course adds substantial cost to the car.

Agreed that the interiors of most BMW's are quite subpar. It's what keeps my wife from liking them. Really sucks, I wish they had Audi interiors.

Amen! You nailed it. I won't consider the A4 for that very reason. After driving a BMW M235i and Porsche Cayman, I am ruined for FWD cars. Can't do them anymore.

A 4G TL with SHAWD is about 500lbs heavier than a 3G TL so not sure how you are coming up with it being "lighter". The SHAWD is a bit faster than a TL Type S but the base 4G TL is not. What sucks is Acura had a winning car with the 3G TL. All they had to do was fix the interior noise...

Man I have been an Acura fan for years. I had an 05 TL and now have an 07 TL Type S. I've driven EVERY Acura including the newer hideous looking TL's. The newer 4G TL's are good cars but they are very bloated and the controls confusing. The SH-AWD version doesn't even come close to how a BMW...
