    Status Titus 8T Speakers Installed!

    With poor implementation, it's possible the benefits of this tweeter won't be realized. With proper execution, you can really make magic with this baby, but at $500/ea it doesn't come cheap.

    Audioholics 2012 GTG Event: Live Demos, Meet & Greet, FREE Prizes Food & Drink

    Or for a little more you can support our FREE event and stay on site. I am familiar with the area and the only place I know in that area for that price is probably the Knights Inn and its nowhere near as nice as the place we are hosting our event.

    Status Titus 8T Speakers Installed!

    Yep great assessment. My floors are wood but I have a heavy carpeted pad at the first reflection point. My ceiling has 1" absorption with perforated board on top of it. The Scan Speak Beryllium tweeter is the BEST tweeter I've ever heard. It is as smooth as the Scan Speak 9500 silk dome...

    I am interested in checking out those Crown amps after I catch up with my other reviews. Be careful with SNR measurements as you really need to compare apples to apples (ie. how it was measured, at what power level, etc). I scale SNR back to 1 watt to make a fair comparison.

    Status Titus 8T Speakers Installed!

    The mids are all running the same bandwidth on these speakers. It was tried as a 2.5 way crossover and the sound was less impressive. The design goal of these speakers is to provide the largest ratio of direct sound to reflected sound. By controlling vertical dispersion and creating a huge...

    the Axiom amp is built by Axiom. I haven't checked out the Crown but if it uses a switching power supply, it's doubtful it will have the SNR and distortion performance of the Pass Labs and Classe amps I am currently testing. In pro audio, that's not as much of a concern though. RBH will NOT...

    No the room is quite big, over 6,000 ft^3. It's 27' x 26' but L shaped and it has a small 4'x10' office where I do all my testing from.

    Status Titus 8T Speakers Installed!

    We managed to integrate my 2 Velodyne DD-15+ subs as LFE channels with the Titus 8T's running fullrange on the main channels. These measurements are at the seated position (front row purple, back row blue). No global EQ was used at ALL. Just careful placement and good room integration of high...

    Here are some pictures with RBH Chief Engineer Shane Rich and myself after a full day of working on installing the new Status 8T towers and 8C center in my theater room. These were taken at 2am so we were pretty beat as you can see in our faces...

    Google to sell $399 Triad speakers in Google Play store for Nexus Q

    86dB 1/watt at 1 meter is pretty good for a bookshelf. Consider the recent Infinity P363 tower I reviewed that was rated at 93dB sensitivity. They didn't tell you it's a 4 ohm speaker and if you scale it back to 1 watt / 8 0hms the real efficiency of that speaker is 87dB! All...

    Google to sell $399 Triad speakers in Google Play store for Nexus Q

    any exposure like this for Triad is good. They are a good company that engineers legitimately good products. I hope this venture is profitable for them. Paul Scarpelli is a good guy.

    EMPtek ES1010i Subwoofer Review

    EMP sent me a prototype so its quite normal for this to happen. I've had much larger more established companies make far greater mistakes. It happens, especially when companies are in a rush to get exclusive coverage on our site. The longer port tubes while extending low end bass is a...

    Hypex makes great Class D amps from what I hear. I know the designer, he is very talented. The Class D I have is the Axiom A1400 which is discontinued due to reliability issues. I still use it b/c it's a powerhouse but it is more sensitive to loudspeaker load impedance than conventional...

    Status Titus 8T Speakers Installed!

    Actually its quite an incredible improvement. I have a top Class D amp I directly compared it too and there was no comparison. The Pass Labs amp had a much cleaner top end, and more authoritative bass response. The Pass Labs sounded live while the Class D sounded more electronic. This amp...
