    Emotiva XPR-5 Five-Channel Reference Power Amplifier Preview

    Not sure but its something that can be asked for an eventual article on regulatory testing i was planning anyways. I know all their amps meet CE which encompasses and sometimes surpasses much of the other safety & regulatory testing agencies.

    Emotiva XPR-5 Five-Channel Reference Power Amplifier Preview

    I was actually wrong. According to Dan at Emotiva, in 220V, the XPR-5 is capable of drawing 40amps of current. WOW! You can also check their website for full disclosure of power measurements: http://emotiva.com/resources/media/xpr5/xpr5_8ohms.pdf...

    Emotiva XPR-5 Five-Channel Reference Power Amplifier Preview

    The XPR-5 has a 3.3kVA power transformer. That's about the biggest transformer I've seen in any power amp regardless of price. The Bryston model uses significantly smaller power transformers in comparison not larger as you claim. The XPR-5 is capable of working on 220V and with a 220V/20A...

    Steinway-Lingdorf Model D Speakers CEDIA Video

    My wife and I sat down for a demo of this system at CEDIA and had to walk out after about 1 minute because they were blasting it beyond ear bleeding levels and it was way too bright and harsh. The rep bragged about how low the noise floor of the system was yet I was wondering why if that was...

    EMP Speakers at the 2012 Audioholics Get Together

    My sister-in-law powers these speakers with her RX-A1010 receiver with no problem. A higher current amp would be beneficial of course, but impedance at low F is very high making them easy to drive with modestly powered receivers.

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    If you're not running the POA in bridged mode, you only need 1 unit to power all 9 of you speakers since it's a 10CH amp. If you do want to run both units with each channel in bridged mode than simply assign each bridged channel to a channel from the AVP and make the connections accordingly.

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    20 channels? Good god man are you setting up a movie theater cineplex? :) You can freely assign all of the inputs on your AVP processor but you're still limited to the total # of unbalanced and balanced connections. You might be able to independently assign different channels to...

    Halo 4 - The Best Halo Ever?

    Angel City Audio at the 2012 Audioholics Get Together Event

    Might have been my fault for bringing them a progressive rock CD that sounded like crap. It was the first time I heard it so I didn't know how badly it was recorded. Also coming from the Salk room could have also spoiled you a bit :)

    Identifying Legitimately High Fidelity Loudspeaker: The Drivers

    As I said in my last post, I don't have the time or desire to debate your misinformed opinions. Here is an example where you had to be shot down by the source himself Dr. Floyd Toole for misquoting him. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/851537-post94.html I think a week break from...

    Identifying Legitimately High Fidelity Loudspeaker: The Drivers

    I know Andrew Jones very well and he's a great engineer. Not all loudspeaker designs agree on all aspects of speaker design. Hence why there is such a diversity of product options and driver technologies on the market. There can be many benefits of phase plug drivers,not just off-axis but as...

    Aperion Audio Bravus II 12D Subwoofer Review

    Compared to JL f110! Wow, I just compared Josh's sweep data for the Bravus II 12D and its favorable to the data I collected for the JL Audio f110 that costs considerably more. I'd say this is one small sub for mankind, one large leap for small subwoofer design!

    Internet Direct Speaker Brand Comparison

    I actually spoke to the owner of NHT on the phone today. He knows and really digs our site. What an honor as I also loved their brand growing up in my high school days. They've been struggling to bring the brand back and it appears to me they are doing it the right way. 30 day risk free...

    Halo 4 - The Best Halo Ever?

    Guys does Halo 4 use the same control layout as Halo 3 or is it more like the most recent Halo that changed everything up? I am on the fence about getting Halo 4 but not sure I want to deal with a new control layout again. I don't want to get beat even worse by friggin 11 y/o's.
