    Tips for Proper Setup of your Center Channel Speaker to Enhance Performance

    Yea I tried those but they were a bit too hard (at least the ones I had) and tilted the speaker up too much. I do have a spare set of Auralex MoPads in storage I may eventually swap out with should I ever have the urge to move the center channel again.

    Pioneer SP-PK52FS 5.1 Speaker System Review

    Dennis; that's great. If you can show before/after measurements and have a 3rd party validate the sonic improvements, I'd be happy to publish an article for you on our site if you write up the report.

    Adele21 Vinyl vs CD?

    I'm looking to get a copy of Adele21 but the CD sounds quite compressed from what I've heard. Does anyone know if the Vinyl version is any better? thanks.

    TV speakers suck—Set up a sound bar instead!

    Is it me or does Marshall resemble a friendlier Syler (Zachary Quinto) from Heroes?

    Bryston Model T Floorstanding Speakers

    Yes and even their $10k/pair active versions come standard in Vinyl wrap. You do get 3 finish options: Black ash, natural cherry and Boston Cherry. I'd imagine the real wood veneer options would involve a cost adder similar to how Axiom does it on their products. I did send an email to my...

    Bryston Model T Floorstanding Speakers

    No I haven't had a chance to listen yet but I was told they sound "similarly good" to Axiom M80s but have higher output capabilities and deeper bass extension. I will look for their demo room at CEDIA to take a listen though assuming they host active demos at the show.

    Bryston Model T Floorstanding Speakers

    We have good relations with Bryston and would certainly review these speakers if they solicit us for a review. But quite frankly, we are slammed with product review requests from many other brands in this price class that offer very unique product offerings. The market is very big and our...

    At low listening levels, possibly. At higher listening levels, always go with the more powerful amp, all other things being equal.

    Can you hear a difference in Sound between Audio Amplifiers?

    It is good enough, people like to abuse the term DBT in the audio industry, especially some manufacturers. Almost nobody does DBT's for audio and they certainly don't follow the strict protocol established by the medical industry.

    Check out Emotiva's new XPA-1L Class A/AB Amp!

    Guys; realize the amp has differential outputs which bridges two-channels together. Each side of the amp sees 1/2 the load impedance so that is why they likely rate it for 4 ohms. It will work with 4 ohm speakers fine but won't be able to double down into a 2 ohm load due to current...

    Can you hear a difference in Sound between Audio Amplifiers?

    The whole sighted test bias argument is a bit overstated in my experience. I've seen plenty of very biased "blind" tests that were a lot less valid then well controlled "sighted" tests. Anytime you precondition a listener by either bragging of a brand, price or what they'd expect to hear will...

    Infinity Primus 363 vs Pioneer sp-pk52fs

    Unfortunately I didn't directly compare them. I compared the Infinity's to the EMPs and the Pioneers to the EMPs and made notes. In addition, I made notes during extensive listening tests of each speaker individually. I think the Infinity's may have a slight edge in bass depth and less...

    Infinity Primus 363 vs Pioneer sp-pk52fs

    Both speakers are high value, good performers, especially at their sale prices. However, the Pioneer line has a MUCH better tweeter IMO. Having spent a couple of months with both, I'd lean towards the Pioneers. They suffer less power compression, and have a more detailed and balanced sound...
