    Review New Yamaha's?

    Actually the new Onkyo will be the first HDMI 1.3 receiver reviewed on Audioholics. That review should be coming out shortly. I am scheduled to do a Yamaha Z11 review after the Audioholics party. It seems Denon has gone silent lately around the internet but we will catch up with them to...

    A new Environmental Craze- Diaper free newborns

    Hey while Clint is making fun of cross dressers, I thought everyone would like to know one year we accidentally ordered a womens Audioholics shirt in his size and he happily wore it at a trade show :D If cross dressing is good enough for Rudi Giuliani, then its good enough for all red...

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    The M22s are more comparible (I suspect favorably) to the RBH TK 5CT's than the MC6-C's. There are a whole lot of great bookshelf speakers in this price class. So far, the best I've heard are the RBH 61-LSE's or 61-SE/Rs in terms of tonal accuracy and overall fidelity. Incidentally, their...

    Audioholics 9th Annual State of the CE Union Party Event

    Hi Jim; You don't need a tux. During the day for demos it will be quite casual (slacks + polo shirt). At the night function it will be business casual (pants & nice shirt).

    RBH MC-6 vs RBH 61-SE

    I believe the 61-SE's are a tad higher in retail now but you have to check as they are releasing a new catalog soon. The 61-SE is still a superior speaker to the MC-6C but it has a deeper cabinet and is rear ported. If you have the space and can avoid blocking the rear port, I'd go with the...

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    Actually above 300Hz (the transition region in small rooms), these measurements are fairly accurate since they were taken at 1 meter on axis.

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    Having directly compared the 61-LSE (similar to SE/R but with standard crossover components) against the MC-6C's, I'd say the 61's are clearly superior to the MC-6C's in virtually every category. They have a much more open top end, better imaging and an overall more refined sound. That...

    listen to JAZZ!

    I forgot to include them. Their CD's are a bit watery but they absolutely rock in concert. The sad thing about Jazz is it was never properly marketed which is why it never successfully hit mainstream. We don't need another MTV Cribs channel, we need an all Jazz channel and in 5.1!

    Bookshelf Speaker Faceoff 2007

    I already conducted a prior face off with Monitor Audio Gold GR-10s. They did quite well and were one of my favorites in the review. I didn't think of adding Yamaha but perhaps in the next face off we will. Feel free to start a poll of speaker brands you would like to see in the next...

    The same way we did it without other brands that couldn't deliver products by our deadline. Stay tuned for more faceoffs in the future.

    listen to JAZZ!

    I'm a huge Jazz fan, but mostly modern fusion from the likes of: Pat Metheny Larry Carlton Lee Ritenoir Tribal Tech Weather Report Special EFX IMO, the most talented musicians are Jazz musicians.

    Germans break speed of light

    Potentially in the next 30-50 years we could be doing Fusion with Helium 3 from the moon! Better buy some land on the moon as it will soon be invaluable :)

    The IRS are Evil!

    I hate taxes as much as the next person, but lets get real. Just b/c there isn't one definitive law about income tax in the constitution, doesn't mean its not legal. Read this article for another perspective: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7151524/ Regardless this is an interesting...

    Germans break speed of light

    I love it anytime we make a mistake, we can simply hit rewind. My only problem is if I had access to this kind of power, time would literally stand still. The real challenge is to transmit real mass at greater than light speeds but I don't see this happening in our life time. BTW quarks...

    How To Shop Loudspeakers

    Shopping for a new speaker system is a lot like buying a new car. One must always find the right balance between performance, aesthetics and practicality while keeping within their budgetary constraints. Unfortunately looks can often tell very little about loudspeaker performance. In fact, some...
