A-wt gives you much better results. I typically do unweighted unless I am measuring a Class D amp. Also HT Mag doesn't specify the output voltage??? Without knowing the output voltage, the #s cannot be directly compared. Yes very true.

Clint thinks we nailed it this time. The site seems speedy to me so perhaps check your internet connection. Let us know if there are any more outages.

I strongly disagree. SACD is a niche and will continue to be for many years. There are some fabulously recorded albums on SACD so you should put away your Sharpe and start listening to them. Recording engineers do a fabulous job with SACD, much better than most DVD-A mastering from my...

We are working on some issues since we moved to new servers. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. It sucks when the site is down but my inbox got flooded with 100s of Vbulletin errors within minutes meaning there are a lot of people trying to get on our forums. Its nice to see so many addicts :)

You lose some cone surface area with the phase plug which on an already small driver means you also lose some efficiency at the lower frequencies with the phase plug driver. The advantage of the phase plug driver however is it will play higher, have less beaming and simply provides stunning...

Time for me to dump Netflix. There is really no reason for this service when I have multiple Redbox kiosks within 2 miles driving distance from me all of which now rent Blu-ray.

Ken; You absolutely need a powered sub to compliment the 41-SE/B's if you plan on putting them in a room that large. Also they were meant to be placed near a wall for added boundary gain so if you place them too far from the back walls you may find the mid bass to be a bit lacking. Placed...

We never reviewed those speakers and Stereomojo appears to be a hobby site as their traffic doesn't even rank on Alexa.com. That being said, the speakers may be great but we haven't verified that in any form of review on Audioholics.com.

Very true. The same can be said about religion as well. Its human nature I suppose.

Seems to be a trend with movies these days. The latest Star Trek was a complete rip off of the last Star Trek Movie Nemesis mixed in with Star Wars and elements of 90210. When hollywood runs out of ideas, they simply respin what worked in the past. Needless to say, I still found both...

Honestly if you're gonna stick with the Bose cubes for the long haul, don't spend more than about $300 on an A/V receiver. I recommend selling your cubes on Ebay and then focusing on buying a complete 5.1 A/V system. There are many options for small speakers that will perform better than the...

Considering that an HDMI cable is, at bottom, nothing more than an arrangement of wire, foil and plastic, the purchase of HDMI cables have become awfully confusing. Everywhere one turns, there are all sorts of specification version numbers being tossed around, claims about HDMI cable "speed,"...

no my samples getting here are 3-4 weeks away. The review will take me about 1 month to complete. I will however post my initial impressions here once I get them to let people know how they sound. My brother is dying to bring him Axiom M60v2s over to see if they will beat them or at least...

One thing Bose isn't is stupid. They are one of the most efficiently run businesses in American. They know our exact demographics and traffic. We do supply our traffic info to our ad agency so I am sure they studied that in detail before deciding on where to advertise. Audioholics has more...

My brother once met the man responsible for marketing the Wave Radio. When asked what he though about the product he marketed, he told my brother it was an amazing engineering feat for $50 worth of parts ;) No Joke!

EMP really needs to add a wall mounted surround speaker like Emotiva, Aperion and Axiom, etc have. Its a challenge to use a 2-way bookshelf for a surround which you will either have to place on stands (which can be too low) or brackets (which tend to stick out too far for aesthetic appeal).

You may want to consider a more laid back speaker than the Klipsch since the EMP sound tends to be on the warmer side while Klipsch is more forward (not a bad thing). I suggest looking at either Aperion Audio or Emotiva for their surrounds as I believe they will be a better match for the EMPs.

Guys, I have good news and bad news. The good news is EMP is sending me their first pair for review. I plan on putting them up against a few hot internet direct speaker towers as I mentioned in another thread. This should be interesting. The bad news is they have already sold 1/2 of...

This article describes what the APx585 does: http://www.audioholics.com/buying-guides/calibration-test-gear/audio-precision It's kinda hard to instruct how to use such a complicated device. I was thinking about writing a tutorial on how to make measurements using this gear but time never...
