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

    Went to the hotel yesterday. I arranged for a premium demo room that is dockside, what a view! I am wondering which Gold sponsor should get first dibs on this room. It's only negative is poor light control, but man I could spend all day in this room , especially since it has dock and bar access!

    Which brand makes the best quality loudspeakers?

    I've been very impressed with their speakers at CEDIA/CES demos. I need to contact them to arrange a review. Good company!

    What Cable Gauge Do I Need for my Speakers?

    Yes. Possibly but your splitting hairs. I suggest you look at the AWG tables on line between stranded and unstranded cable. Wire Gauges The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the...

    What Cable Gauge Do I Need for my Speakers?

    Wow John, I didn't think you were still lurking in the forums. How you been? Still working for BHL? When are we gonna finally create a stable black hole and understand gravity once and for all? LOL. I've measured similar gauge solid vs stranded cables and found the stranded typically...

    Fluance XL7F Floorstanding Loudspeaker Review

    price doesn't always determine quality. I think it's great when companies offer respectable products at budget prices to get new folks excited about home theater. You have to give a lot of credit to Fluance. Their products are very low margin as indicated by the good caliber of parts they are...

    Fluance XL7F Floorstanding Loudspeaker Review

    I'm not familiar with those speakers. However, I am aiming to get a pair of Infinity Primus P363's in for review and hope to directly compare them.

    My Status 8T Speakers are Born

    I think that is total weight of the sub + satellite speaker. So luckily their modular and are assembled as a whole piece once you figure where to place them. I'd guess the sub still weighs around 200lbs :eek:

    My Status 8T Speakers are Born

    The woofers can be removed and that may be an option. BTW I was mistaken, the initial pic I posted on this thread was of their prototype. Attached is a pic of the actual speakers they are building for me at this moment. The finish is more like what I had with my T30s.

    My Status 8T Speakers are Born

    I believe so. Harman offered me some Revel Salon 2s for review but I think those are $20k/pair. I may review those down the road but these RBH's are gonna consume me for 2-3 months so I don't want to take on two huge speaker systems at once. I tend to shy away from big heavy speaker reviews...

    What Cable Gauge Do I Need for my Speakers?

    That is simply NOT true. Stranded wire of the same gauge as solid core wire, even if each strand is NOT individually shielded still exhibits Litz like behavior where the sum of the strands still exhibit less inductance with increased frequency than compared the solid core equivalent. The only...

    My Status 8T Speakers are Born

    My dad's been bugging me to add an elevator to my home since I built it. It's not such a cheap endeavor and it would still involve moving heavy objects like this all the way to my backyard over a lawn. Luckily these speakers are module and I will have hired help to move them since my lower...

    RBH are much better at building speakers than they are at websites :) Seriously, their website needs to be completely redone.
