AJ; The blind tests are done as a fun experiment. Nothing is perfect, especially when trying to gauge user preferences. I like to incorporate them in my listening tests but I also like long duration testing too. You don't need blind to discern obvious differences in loudspeakers but you do...

Audioholics Official Emotiva UPA-7 Review

Matt; The stock outriggers and spikes are pretty good. I don't think you will have any issues at all unless your kid deliberately try's to knock them down with a bodyslam :).

I've been receiving numerous PM's since we conducted our 2010 Floorstanding Speaker Face Off about the status of the EMP E55ti updates. The driver updates for the EMP E55ti have been done and I am reviewing a pair right now. EMP also made a few other minor updates to the crossover to smooth...

Good call and you won't be disappointed, especially when you read my review when it goes live tomorrow. Thanks for the plug. It really helps when our readers let the manufacturers know they did their research with us.

Even sticky grenades? Poop :( I thought Reach was a prequel so why does it have more advanced defenses? I need to watch the trailer.

Yea good luck in finding a review publication that can dedicate that many resources into a speaker comparison. Personally I place a lot of weight on a seasoned listener that spent days/weeks with the products but in the end its always best to have the speakers in your own listening space on...

Too bad they removed dual wield. I always go with a single weapon in those type of matches and grenade and melee the hell out of people they are too dumb to not do the same :) Last night I got 20 kills in a single match doing this :eek:

new controller layout again? I finally mastered the Controller layout for Halo 3. Why don't they keep this the same???

Yes since Tom spent a lot of time with both pairs before and after the shootout and excluded himself from the listening tests to not instill bias. Short blind listening tests often don't reveal a clear winner. Long duration listening tests over a course of several days/weeks are far more...

From my experience, H/K has always underrated the power in their receivers. I love when companies do this so it allows me to sing their praises while I have their products on the test bench :D

I believe Tom Andry did a face off of Salk Song Towers against the Infinity Classia's and preferred the Salks by a wide margin. Yes here is the comparison: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/1500-2000-floor-shootout-2009 Salk's were the speaker of choice in this...

Update: Salk is coming to the Party! I just got an email from Jim Salk. He will be entering the Salk Song Sub into our shootout! http://salksound.com/songsub%20overview%20-%20pricing.htm

So far we have: RBH Sound 1010-SEN Rythmik FV15HP Earthquake MKVI-15BLK Funkywaves FW12.X_SA1000_Brindle SV Sound PB12-Plus I requested samples from: Salk Elemental Designs Paradigm So if they want to be included, products must be in hand by mid October.

Update on Subwoofer Shootout I requested products to be shipped to Paul in October. If all goes well this shootout should be published late Nov, early Dec.

The ported one will be in our shootout. If there is any testimony to how good their products is,one of their competitors once told me Rythmik makes some of the best sounding subs they have heard. I can't wait for us to check them out for ourselves...

My only real criticism of the movie was the ending since it had no historical accuracy at all. I didn't read up on it prior so I thought it would be more factual. Other than that it was entertaining.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just arriving to work when I heard about it on the Bubba show. I grew up in NY and I lost a high school friend that I didn't hear from since graduation but it still resonated. I didn't get any work done that day but after that I felt a sense of pride...

Funny story I just found out today. One of my brothers is quite an accomplished musician that plays Jazz guitar. His daughters friend often comes over with her dad to hear my brother play. It turns out the dad makes guitars for Porcupine Tree :eek: Sadly my bro doesn't like their music...

Enough with the sarcasms. Honestly it seems like HSU dropped off the face of the map for the last few years. I believe I did contact them to participate but not sure I received a response. If they have a sub that is under $3k and under 5ft^3 that they would like to submit, I'd be happy to...
