That's a good question. Interestingly though for $2k/pair your getting high quality parts and construction with a real veneer wood finish. Some manufacturers charge 25-35% more for real wood and instead give you vinyl as their base price. $2k/pair for these looks like a real deal!

Their product offerings look great but they are so numerous and their model#s are confusing. They definitely need to tighten it up a bit.

Or a more balanced viewpoint is offering multiple tuning modes including the option to seal a ported design opens wider placement options and is in fact excellent engineering in doing so. The PB13-Ultra is this example one of engineered excellence as any owner or person that's actually heard...

Their demo room size is limited and it makes sense that they bring their best subs to show off what they can do. Maybe next year :)

you don't need a blind test as much as a way to instantly change out the cords which is nearly impossible. Audio memory sucks when dealing with subtle differences.

In a small room like that, go with the E5tis and their Es10i sub and you will be fine.

Craig; there is no valid theoretical reason why the Nordost power cables should make any difference in your system but if you feel like it does and your happy with your purchase nobody can fault you for it. Enjoy, their stuff is pretty and if you've got the coin to spare for it, that's your...

It should be working now. here is page2: Measuring Ported Speakers — Reviews and News from Audioholics

The HK3490 is a great sounding receiver and a steal at $299!

Put up some good streaming options here and we will consider adding them as alternatives or even primary sources in future systems. Not sure if most consumers go with streaming or just use hard disc only. Personally I use Pandora and a HD media server myself but I typically don't stream from a...

Good suggestion on the Emo combo. I added that as an alternative.

Hot off the presses, a $2k two-channel system: $2,000 Recommended Two-Channel Stereo System — Reviews and News from Audioholics If you want a digital input, the HK 3490 is the ONLY viable solution I've found. It's a great receiver and I reviewed and bench tested it too. These...

As I said before the ones written by the E-Store say "Audioholics E-store" such as this one: Audioholics Store $750 Audio System — Reviews and News from Audioholics There were 3 other systems but it looks like they retracted them to update obsolete components. Those should go online...

RE Recommended Systems & Estore Guys; I hear all your arguments and understand your concerns but quite frankly we can't please everyone. The most vocal people against these guides are usually the ones that think they could assemble a better system for less anyways and won't consider the...

absolutely not. We figured most people setting up a 2CH system wouldn't have a display in that room and it''s necessary to have a display to configure the Oppo. If however you have a display than the Oppo BDP-105 would be the perfect solution.

What a wealth of knowledge Andrew is. He is becoming one of my favorite "go to" guy on all things speakers.

Check again. The amp, Sacd player and turntable come out to around $3k. Power conditioner is optional and useful. There is no hard rule that you have to spend more on speakers then everything else combined. The yammie amp is pricey but it's got a meaty amp section and it looks fantastic...

Agreed and look at the section on tweeters in my article comparing an inexpensive Dayton Titanium tweeter with low power handling vs the top of the line expensive Scan Speak tweeter with high power handling and low Fs. IMO, at this price point, SOTA drivers should be used all around not just...

LOL good point.

I would say the Pioneers are an upgrade in the tweeter department for sure. They use a real ferrite magnet and their drivers have vented pole pieces. Plus they did a great crossover design in these pups. I just don't understand their retail pricing :confused: I will be getting a pair to...
