    Star Trek

    No, I am going this Saturday. As I said, I have low expectations so if its at least mildly entertaining and better than ST V and Nemesis, then I will be happy. I won't dwell on the timeline changes since afterall, much of SciFi is doing this lately (ie. Terminator) and you can't expect to...

    Um +-5 years gives me a total of 10 years of slack. Haven't you ever read a loudspeaker frequency response spec before? :D

    Star Trek

    Since they killed off Kirk in Generations, it probably would have been too difficult to explain his resurrection among all the other stuff happening. Also its likely Shatner didn't sign a deal for it.

    Star Trek

    I was worried about this. Why can't they stop making scifi movies that either have a mad man bent on destroying the Earth or a single pilot must fly into a super structure to destroy it.

    Star Trek

    I am cautiously optimistic but as a Trekkie I don't expect this movie to feel very trekkie. I think its ridiculous they built this ship on Earth. The Romulan guy looks nothing like a real Romulan so not sure where they are going with that. I saw a scene where Kirk and crew jumped out of a...

    Subwoofer Connection Guide For A Multi Subwoofer System

    I've spoken in great length about this with Dr. Floyd Toole. Even # of subs are easier to integrate into rectangular or square shaped rooms. I've done 3 subs in such rooms but it gets tricky. Of course in odd shapped rooms like my L shape reference room, all bets are off. It takes a lot of...

    Trading Amplifier Quality for Features – A New Trend with A/V Receivers?

    Correction to Article Editorial Note on A/V Receiver Market leader Comment (5/04/09) When this article was originally published, I stated that Denon has now become the market leader in A/V receiver sales. I have since then found that my source for this information was incorrect as Yamaha...

    Attack of the Clone Amplifiers

    AccuDef: In point 2) I stated that full power for full bandwith was not necessary if it adversely affected the performance of a class D amplifier. What I meant was that full power for full bandwidth as defined by the FTC protocol was not relevant for a class D unit. If you look at page 6 of...

    Heroes

    The whole killing Nathan and brainwashimng Sylar into thinking he's Nathan is just a bit too far fetched for me. Not that this show has any boundaries for reality. All they had to do was take Claire's blood and heal Nathan like they did for her step dad when he got shot in the eye. They...

    Attack of the Clone Amplifiers

    Yes and No. Most pro amps are designed for high power but not necessarily high fidelity. They tend to be noiser than home theater amps especially ones using fans, and switching power supplies to make them lighter weight and less costly. There is more to an amplifier than power just like there...

    Attack of the Clone Amplifiers

    I am right there with you. Hopefully over time as I get a chance to measure more of these amps, and do controlled listening comparisons, I can get a better picture of what is going on. So far I can tell you we can usually measure stuff we can't hear and we can usually hear stuff we can't...

    Attack of the Clone Amplifiers

    I will be reviewing an ICE 1000ASP sometime soon once I get my hands on one, and assuming one of the clone manufacturers will be willing to send to me :) As for modifications to the 1000ASP module, very little can be done to them which was the point of my article that was obviously missed...

    no, but I know how to interpret a data sheet. Also there is no such thing as RMS power ;)

    Seymour AV Ice Block 5001 500watt Monoblock Amplifier Review

    Very similar to the 4 ohm rating at 1kHz and likely less at higher frequencies. Most speakers impedance magnitudes are above 2 ohms so it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you trying to drive a highly reactive ESL type speaker which B&O cautions against.

    Seymour AV Ice Block 5001 500watt Monoblock Amplifier Review

    Paul; Wait till you see the article I am posting on Monday "Attack of the Clone Amplifiers". IT addresses your post exactly. There is very little that can be done to the ICE amp to improve upon it short of redoing the entire power supply which to date nobody has done b/c its so much easier to...
