Friends; My bro rented this from Blockbuster and he claims the R rated version was blocked as were all the special features and menu items. He called Blockbuster and they claimed this is purposely done on rentals to force consumers to buy the copy. Can anyone verify this?

The importance of anechoic chambers for testing loudspeakers is highly over stated and lately used as a marketing ploy by many companies claiming their products are better for that very reason. A good loudspeaker engineer knows how to properly measure their speakers without one. That...

Now had the mom and pop shop happened to own an online store with a coupon barcode, I am quite certain you would have tried to pull the same gimmick on them too. Now from a mom/pop shop point of view, if you went into their store and offered them $300 for a $500 Oppo player and they declined...

Agreed and perhaps the folks at the AH E-store need to check to make sure that fail safe is in place for all canceled orders. Good suggestions. It doesn't seem the Audioholics E-store is the right place for you. I recommend you try Amazon or Crutchfield as you will likely be happier over there.

Most consumers can't handle a bumpy graph nor do they know how to read it. They want a smooth curve to make them feel all warm and fuzzy. I like to feel like that too but there are better ways to get that feeling :D

If you want to know what is really going on, measure it! Not sure why you would expect an auto eq system to do that for you. If you're happy with the end results, don't worry about it.

Most companies don't do this and an experienced designer knows how to do a summed nearfield response of their loudspeaker to take the room out the equation. Anechoic chambers simply make it easier to measure a loudspeaker but they aren't necessary for design or specing a product.

I am NOT dismissing the merits of Audyssey. I use it myself. All I am trying to tell people is NOT to take their printouts as any reality of what is really happening in your room. These are NOT in-room measurements before and after. They are theoretical before/after results. Only advanced...

You don't need an Audyssey employee to tell you that the graphs they are producing aren't: 1. actual measurements 2. aren't any better than 1 octave resolution, just look at them sorry but its like asking a weatherman if its raining outside while your standing in the middle of a torrential...

OK I watched Trek on Blu-ray last night and actually enjoyed it more than I did in the theaters. I realized I am a bit too much of a trekkie over analyzing and being over critical of the movie. It had some serious flaws from a Trek standpoint and basic physics but it was still enjoyable...

I'm dead. We just hosted at my house for over 40 people. 2 turkeys, pork, stuffed mushrooms, homemade pumpkin pies, and a gazillion more things. My wife and I were up last night till 2am cooking and preparing. All this work for 20 mins of gorging. Was it worth it? ....... yea :rolleyes: I'm...

Just to pipe in here as I have tons of experience with Audyssey and currently writing a multi subwoofer calibration article that utilizes Audyssey as a last and final step for calibration. Don't believe the before and after graphs generated by Audyssey. They are entirely theoretical and have...

I forwarded this thread to my contact at Onkyo. I hope this helps.

The program I use is from Linear X called LMS. I highly recommend that you do NOT use that program as the hardware is very problematic and its sometimes a full time job for me to get it functional. It is however very accurate and hence why I am cursed to continue using it. I recommend...

I've come up with a pretty trick procedure for calibrating multiple subs that I am writing an article about. Attached are plots of my front row and back row in my theater room. These are in-room measurements at the listening position with 1/12th octave resolution. My room is very challenging...

The ship was so heavily armed with..... missles? are you kidding me? Why did the ship have to be clouded in storm clouds and why were there pipes all over the friggin place in this movie? Every other scene had pipes and water. Ok thanks you guys got me started again :mad:

sadly that's the nature of the new writers of Trek. Cadet kirk who kept getting his a.ss kicked instantly became captain b/c he thought it would be cool and wanted to impress La Hura.

wow that's an insane deal and better than the Audioholics E-store offering. I recommend anyone looking for a good compact system to jump on this or give it as a XMAS gift. I wonder if this is a misprint. :confused:

That little EMP sub is a lot more powerful than its driver size and power rating would suggest. For $300 its a pretty good deal. Rather than going with a larger sub, you may want to instead going with two of these subs for the following reasons...
