Weird b/c solid core 10awg will suffer more skin effect than stranded even if the stranded isn't litz configuration. Not to mention solid core at that gauge is very hard to work with. Well I guess if it makes you happy, who are we to say otherwise :rolleyes:

no there is no party mode on the 3900. I updated the review comparison table to reflect this. No there will be no review of a 3900 as the product is too similar to warrant it.

This is an extremely refreshing post that is right on the money!

My wife can't eat red sauce b/c of reflux so we came up with our own homemade pie which I really like. We use a very high quality pesto sauce with some extra virgin olive oil. Then we add fresh tomato slices, mushrooms, spinich, fresh sliced mozzarela and shredded, fresh oregano, basil...

Cool please write up a review on this forum when you get a chance. Hope you like em.

I just tested their 1.06 ver they plan on releasing soon. It works flawless from my tests. stay tuned....

Actually this technology debuted at our SOTU event 2 years ago! Dolby and AIX Records teamed up and recorded 7.1 channels of discrete music just for our event and added the height channels. At the time they didn't call it PLIIz or anything for that matter. They used a Denon AVR-5805 specially...

Many receivers at this price have inadequate drive levels to allow dedicated amps to reach full power unclipped. Assuming the Emo works correctly, it should be a big advantage over receivers in its price class as a dedicated pre/pro. Plus it looks a whole lot better IMO..

beautiful backplate. too bad about the damage. :(

That's funny b/c usually when I conduct face offs with RBH speakers in the mix, they are typically the ugliest but best sounding speakers :D

The difference between the J curve you're used to seeing is that is an instantaneous power vs distortion test at 1kHz. My power vs distortion is fullbandwidth and continuous. The blue line is power regulated to 0.1% THD + N at full bandwidth. The red shows the distortion. The impedance...

hmm I need to check that as its quite a useful feature that may be lacking on the 3900.

Um I strongly disagree that it has to be DBT. If the listeners are unaware of the speakers they are listening to they can still make relatively excellent unbiased judgements. I often do quick comparisons of speaker pairs when doing reviews without any DBT or ABT testing and its easy to hear...

Hi all; Just running a quick poll here to determine what helps you the most in your A/V purchasing decisions. Please feel free to comment including recent purchases and experiences on this site that helped to guide your decision. I have a 3 meter Velocity Impact Acoustics HDMI cable I...

If your going with this MCM speaker package, I'd stongly encourage you to consider 2 of the tsC ASW-8 subwoofers. They are small compact and powerful and super cheap. I was floored by their performance and they would be a perfect fit for these speakers...

Yes it does! I just tested this. It will not downconvert the HDMI audio if you just turn on the other zones. You must use "Party Mode" for it to do it. I still recommend running an extra pair of analog cables from your DVD player to the Z7 as a backup though....

This speaker system wins the Audioholics award for least expensive system ever reviewed! Regardless of the economy, there are no excuses for people on a shoestring budget NOT to get into hometheater with these babies :)

I believe it does since I listen to DVD's in my other zones but I also connected analog cables to my DVD player as well. I will check on this and get back... BTW, thanks for the correction on the mini remote. Apparantly Yamaha missed that in my review when they tech peered it. The Mini...

the article is a general guideline. You should also go for better than the minimum recommendation in a way that Jennifer Aniston should always wear more flair than the minimum in the movie Office Space ;)

Don't EVER use 18AWG speaker cable for high end audio. Follow the guidelines in this article: http://www.audioholics.com/education/cables/speaker-cable-gauge
