you're right! I flipped them when I had both windows open. 507 – 19.4lbs 506 – 21.56lbs PS. Back when I reviewed the Yamaha RX-V659 I stated it had a class leading power amp section at its price. By today's standard that receiver companies are setting at this level of product, it...

I could honestly care less on how the AH store sales do with respect to the editorial side of the website. Those are two separately run businesses. I run the editorial site and others run the store and thats how it will always be. If it were my money and I cared about audio quality first...

When comparing receivers with the same amplifier topology, weight is a very good indicator of power output. I can assure you some of the older models in my comparison had better capability of driving 4 ohm loads than some of the models you mentioned. As much as I like the amps of the RX-Z7...

it sells more speakers :) Its a height channel much like Yamaha's been doing for the last 20 years. Dolby finally caught up :)

I've often raised that argument with my wife but she wasn't too keen on that. Dual subs was a much easier sell :D

I believe the kevlar patent by DuPont prohibits speaker companies from using kevlar in their drivers. I think they all switched to fiberglass now. I also agree that kevlar is really not an ideal material for a driver. Although its strong, its too flexible which is something you don't want in...

I'm sure my wife would love to cook for everyone ;)

given the choices you listed in your post, I'd lean toward either the Parasound or Anthem. Those are nice amps but a bit pricey. You can also do very well with a new Emotiva XPA-2 to power your front channels and use your receiver to power the rest.

using identical subs is usually easier to integrate. That being said, I run 2 velodyne DD15s and 2 RBH T30 subs in my main theater room which are drastically different subs. The reason why I got it to work very well is b/c the Velos allow me to change the slope of their low frequency roll off...

All; Using Google Sketch, here is a concept drawing of the Family room and where I located the subwoofers. I also updated the article with this image. Thanks for the suggestion.

this is a Consumer Excellence Award not our Product of the Year award. I believe you are looking for this: http://www.audioholics.com/buying-guides/product-awards-and-gift-guides/audioholics-2008-product-awards Product of Year is based on stuff we actually did a formal review of...

We appreciate your opinion but I trust David's recommendation of this product since I've thrown all the major well designed subs from the likes of JL, Velodyne, HSU and Sunfire at him in the past. His measurements may be a bit off and are too smoothed to really get a good picture of what is...

Um they certainly weren't the first or last online subwoofer company to do this:rolleyes:

I wouldn't be too sure of that. Both are excellent systems and with the newly redesigned tweet of the Aperion, it appears they addressed my complaints on the tower I reviewed a # of years ago. Good stuff!

Guys; I placed a link to Multi Subwoofer Connection Guide in my article that gives you possible layout scenarios for optimal sub placement. I also discuss how to connect them and set them up properly. The problem with generic placement suggestions is they typically only work in...

Sorry Nick but I lost my license for Visio and couldn't do a room sketch. Basically sub 1 was placed towards the front left corner behind the "mother-in-law" couch. Sub 2 was placed almost diagonally across from it towards the back right of the room which opens into the kitchen...

The answer to this question is typically yes, assuming you’re comparing one vs. two subs of the exact same brand and model #. In almost all circumstances, installing multiple subwoofers in your theater room will yield significantly better and smoother bass response across a wider listening area...

yep using it now with a smile on my face every time I see how flexible and easy it is to operate. I still can't believe it. I haven't gotten this excited about a physical possession since I got my kbp 07 TL Type S :)

We are finishing up a review of a new Aperion audio system. This sub is a real sleeper and has done wonderfully in our tests: http://www.aperionaudio.com/product/Bravus-10D-Dual-10-Powered-Subwoofer,105,66,243.aspx Its reasonably sized, has an excellent fit and finish and is only $800...

and the 3 year extended warranty and life time tech support isn't too shabby either ;) The AH Store is only doing power buys on stuff they are authorized to sell.
