    Who Makes the Best Performing Subwoofers?

    Velodyne is trying to fulfill a shrinking Brick&Mortor marketplace while also selling online. That is not an easy task and eventually they will have to prioritize on one to be successful. B&M won't tolerate their lowering prices and the Internet model is too well established and competitive for...

    Are these RBH speakers a steal, if so which are best?

    That's an incredible deal! I used to own 1266-SE/R's and had tears in my eyes when I traded them out for a pair of T2's. I did direct side by side comparisons before I decided to do that. See my review: RBH Sound T-2 Signature Series System Review — Reviews and News from...

    JBL Synthesis S4700 Floorstanding Speaker Preview

    I actually had a chance to hear these speakers last CEDIA. I had no idea they were $20k/pair. I didn't walk away impressed, especially now seeing the price. These are IMO certainly not the best horn speakers I've heard from JBL, though they were the most costly.

    Axiom VP160 Center Channel Speaker

    That's great progress for them. Axiom fans should really be happy with this design and it seems like a nice upgrade from a VP150.

    RBH Sound Inwall Loudspeakers

    You wouldn't think that if you heard them. The 6100 system projects an enormous soundstage and can play at SPL levels traditional 2 or 3 driver systems simply cannot. They do require a fairly good size room however. If the listener is only 6-8ft away from the front speakers, then a SI-760 is...

    Mark Levinson No. 52 Reference Dual-Monaural Preamplifier Preview

    exactly! the laws of diminishing returns happens much quicker with audio gear than it does with cars. Hence it should b/c cars are far more complex and expensive to produce.

    Mark Levinson No. 52 Reference Dual-Monaural Preamplifier Preview

    Not really. Drive a Honda Accord then drive a BMW 550i (Which is under $100k). Nothing arguable about that and very easy to measure performance differences on a track.

    EMP ES1010i Subwoofer Initial Report

    I highly recommend setting the E55ti main channels to large and keep the crossover on your receiver to 80Hz with all other speakers set small. The E55's do well running fullrange with a nice natural rolloff below 60Hz. I suspect you will get better bass response overall with the mains large...

    doesn't this seem like a strange concert mix ?

    such a sad way to trash the band. Roth has no business to be singing anymore. They hate each other, yet they do it for the paycheck. Musically its terrible and embarrassing for a band that ruled over two decades of high energy rock. That being said, I'd probably find Kool & the Gang more...
