Good question. I am waiting on a set of XPR-1s :)

true and especially with ear-buds!

Nobody suggested looking just at flat SPL measurements. However most loudspeaker measurements are incomplete, especially involving simplistic distortion sweeps which never show intermodulation products. The distortion tests done at the NRC is a prime example of this. Loudspeaker...

That is very poor advice. Measurements are easy to manipulate and misinterpret. It's extremely easy to use junk parts and a simplistic crossover in a two-way speaker system to produce a flat on-axis response curve at low power levels. It's very difficult to equate loudspeaker...

Bose car stereos are usually better than the generic crap often found in most cars. The name adds value to the car as well but the markup for the system which is usually lumped into another upgrade package is a bit outrageous.

Tips Update Wow this is an awesome job you are all doing. I thank you for your efforts. I realized however that most of these tips need at least a couple of more sentences to make for a full post. My fault since I asked for them to be short. Here is what I need if you can be so kind to...

Wow I didn't read it like that at all. I needed a couple of more sentences to have a little more content than the intro text on the homepage. I will remove your name as the source.

Usually manufacturers that produce on-wall speakers tweak the crossovers to compensate for the 2pi loading effect. However, I've had good success plugging a rear port and placing speakers a few inches off a back wall so don't let that scare you. This is especially true if you're going to bass...

I agree for the front 3 speakers but this isn't such a hardened rule for the surrounds since their positional differences with the front 3 speakers would cause a bigger difference in tonality than simply choosing an alternate surround with similar output and bandwidth capabilities as the front...

On second thought, this grew on me. Congrats your soon to be internet famous :)

Acura has been using an ELS / Panasonic DVD-A system since 2004 in all their cars. Incidentally the Panasonic system has a very similar driver compliment (3" center and 8" sub) and it also decodes DVD-A and DTS. Overall the older Acura system is good (I own an 07 TLtypeS) but the bass and...

you are seeing the lighter more sensitive side of me ;)

I like it but it's a little too technical for this type of post. Bring it down to earth man :)

It's NOT. It's a tip of the day as the page title indicates, and something we plan on doing routinely to help neophytes.

True but if you look at my review of the ES1010i, you can see the room response at the listening area was flat to 20Hz despite the sub rolling off around 30Hz. In any decent sized room you will get a bump in the 20-40Hz region towards the back of the room so if the sub has a gradual rolloff...

ES1010i Subwoofer Room Rating Guys; i fear our room rating may have given people pause considering this subwoofer. Please realize I used sweep data instead of CEA data to extrapolate a room rating. This usually tracks fairly well above where the sub is driver limited depending on the extent...
