    I don't believe so, but it may be upgradeable. Lets keep this thread on topic but feel free to start an Anthem thread and we can research the product there. thanks.

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    This is one comparison I'd love to make but I am tired now :confused: I don't want to deal with all the cables :D the Anthem D2 has really evolved over the years and I am confident its a solid product. Their top of the line amplifiers appear to be among the best in the industry. I am...

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    I swear I wrote "Sports Sedan" and I should have put the word "Affordable" in it. I was writing this as I was debating on buying out the lease of my 05 Acura TL or scaling down to 1 car until Acura or someone else makes a similar car that runs on plant algae or hydrogen :rolleyes:

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    After writing nearly 20k words between this review and the matching 10CH amp, I am taking a break from receiver/processor reviews for awhile and will be switching gears towards speakers and maybe an amp or two for now. I measured the 5308CI for Clint which he will be writing up the review of...

    Onkyo Comes to the Audioholics Store!

    The AH Store recently added the Marantz separates combo and we plan on adding more in the future. Its tough to get people to spend $$$ on high end A/V gear while they are battling $4+ gas at the pump but here is hoping for the best....

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    potentially yes but it also affects pretty much all of the new Onkyo receivers and any latest generation receivers/processors on the market using the same Volume IC chips and have Audyssey processing as well as the host of other processing features that cause the volume control to scale when...

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    The Audyssey Pro stand alone unit is only an active EQ box. It doesn't have preamp function but it does scale down output levels 10dB I believe so that if excessive boost occurs, it won't clip the connecting preamp.

    Pre Review Denon AVP-A1HDCI & POA-A1HDCI Separates Thread

    If it were only -20dB, you would hear the bleed over. In fact anything worse than -60dB would be audible. I did spot check adjacent channels and they were at least -80dB or better. I also did this on the power amp and published most of it in the review. My biggest concern right now with...

    New Genesis concert dvd out - excellent

    I'm not holding my breath for the blu-ray release. In fact I still don't even own a Blu Ray Player :eek: I am picking up this DVD this weekend. $20 is a steal for what it is and I am excited. I have the double disc CD release of this tour and its great! Sadly this is likely the last...

    RBH T-1 or 661-SE/R

    Having extensive experience with all of the RBH speakers mentioned here, I'd almost recommend 3 x 661-SE/Rs up front unless you go with T2s or manage to integrate the T1s into a nice bookshelf/cabinet. IMO they look odd sitting on a speaker stand. The 661-SE and 661-SE/Rs are quite competent...

    Disappointed with new EMP EF50T

    It boggles my mind that you haven't tried the bookshelf speakers despite I suggested it in at least 3 posts now. Again if the bookshelf speakers sound significantly better than it proves the floorstanders are defective. In any case, simply send the system back as I am sure the Audioholics...

    Disappointed with new EMP EF50T

    I understand your towers may be defective. How did the bookshelf's do in comparison? Also its possible these speakers are much less efficient than your others so you need to turn the volume control up higher to achieve similar SPL levels.

    EMP/RBH EF30/TK Series Speaker Upgrade

    No all existing orders and orders done today will be honored. So if you are thinking about getting a system, you better scoop it now.

    EMP/RBH EF30/TK Series Speaker Upgrade

    Unfortunately too many of RBH local dealers were complaining of the upgrade offer we were running so there will no LONGER be FREE upgrades to the TK series of products while the EMP center channels are out of stock. Apparently we sold too many of the systems on our store and it shifted the...

    Disappointed with new EMP EF50T

    Virtually all speakers can "reproduce" all the notes of a piano but very FEW speakers can accurately reproduce complex harmonic overtones of a piano regardless of price and certainly NONE that I have heard in the price range that the EMPs are selling at.

    Denon POA-A1HDCI 10 Channel Power Amplifier Review

    Pretty comparible until you bridge the Denon which in that situation should have a slight edge. Those old Parasound amps are sweet.
