    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    Find out what Sencore device they are using. I have an SP495 in my bag of test tools. Sub position is only predictable in rectangular rooms. Most people don't have a perfect rectangle/square room so the room calculators become somewhat useless as a result. Without good measurement gear...

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    I am not sure what HAA did other than adjust level and trim and find the right locations for your 2 subs. If they took an average distance of the 2 subs and entered that into the processor than you're probably OK. I assume they level matched the subs individually before dialing in the right...

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    Why did you use a y-adaptor for your subs? The Denon has a 2SP Mix mode which would allow you independent level/trim controls for each sub while also sending identical content to both. Have you read this article for reference: Multi Subwoofer Connection Guide

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    I didn't care much for it either until I discovered 24hrs of Pink Floyd in 130k WMA! Thrown into PLIIx Music with 7CH Restorer feature is quite awesome. Is it me or does this AVP really grow on you over time? :confused:

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    Well this afternoon it was all stations. Oddly its working now. Next time it fails I will try Net radio on my Yamaha RX-V2700. Its possible the service was hosed and not Denon related at all. I will put a watch on this issue going forward.

    Audioholics Interviewed on TestFreaks.com

    Haha I didn't even realize I did that. Bring on the lawsuit, I will get my friend Kurt at Bluejeans to step in :D In hindsight I should have said "monster sized tower speakers".

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    All; I am experiencing drop outs for Net Radio with ethernet connection. It loads to 100%, I get music then a few seconds later it drops down. I don't believe my connection is the issue since I am using the same one for internet and it works fine. I tried power cycling my AVP and it made...

    Yamaha RX-V3900 / 1900 / Z7

    I love it when this is supposed to be protected information until CEDIA but dealers/installers leak it out via forums and/or international based websites :rolleyes:

    Denon AVR-5308CI AV Receiver Review

    It's not really fair to compare as the 5805 was really a one boxed separates solution where as the 5308 is a flagship receiver. That being said the 5308 is still one of the best in its class from our testing.

    Too many affordable bookshelf speakers to choose from

    It's great when companies have this resource at their disposal but its NOT a requirement in making an excellent loudspeaker system.

    Too many affordable bookshelf speakers to choose from

    Don't ever fall for the fallacy that ID brands always offer better performance and value than brick & mortar brands. This is sometimes far from the truth. Anyone can design a speaker and sell it direct and of course get a fan boy following on the forums. Don't limit your options, try...

    Extraordinary claims

    NO! Totem makes excellent speakers but they like to sprinkle a little snake oil in their sales pitch. Just ignore and enjoy.

    Extraordinary claims

    If the enclosure is large enough, the speaker may play down to 28Hz but at what SPL? Loudspeaker manufacturers almost never tell you that. The beak placed on the cabinet is bizzare and IMO if the cabinet was well designed to begin with, why would you need to do that? This reminds me of an...

    When is the 5308 Review coming?

    I am pretty sure the 5805 also had Burr brown 1792s. When you get to that quality level of dac, its more about implementation than anything which Denon has always excelled in. From an audio standpoint the 5805 had superior components overall, not just b/c of higher power. It was a different...

    Choice of 2 Subs

    Agreed b/c the new Klipsch and Energy high compression subs are well engineered, though its probably not that evident as it like pulling teeth to get review units. Since Sunfire lost the lawsuit patent on small long throw drivers, other companies are now producing excellent products as well...

    Choice of 2 Subs

    Before choosing a sub, first make sure its practical in your listening space. You will notice forum members jumping on with immediate recommendations for online subwoofer solutions most of which are 2-3 times the size of the ones you are considering. Its easy to not realize this until you get...

    When is the 5308 Review coming?

    I just peered Clint's review and added measurements. After Denon does a tech peer / fact check, it will go online, probably this Friday or next Monday. Overall the product did well but don't expect 5805 level amplifier performance, nor is posturing that either :eek:
