Before changing out gear again, perhaps you should address your room acoustics and speaker placement. These are often the most overlooked and most direct reason why people are unsatisfied with the fidelity of their systems.

David's review and forum response has inspired me to request a review sample of their Gotham sub. Problem is I loath carrying a 300lbs sub up two flights of steps to my theater room, and knowing me, I'd want at least two of them :D

Yea is sucks when you can't just sit around all day blowing up people on Halo :)

All; Please adhere to our forum rules and keep this thread ON TOPIC to the review/product in question. There is much more to subwoofers than simply how low they will play. Anyone can make a sub play low at the expense of linearity and overall sound quality / slam.

All; Johnny Canuck was temporariy banned for one sole reason - repeated violations of our forum rules, particularly this one stated in our Forum FAQ: Shortly after he was banned, he sent us the following email: Now that he has demonstrated clear malicious intent against us, he is...

this site looks like it has good deals on Genesis SACD's for USA: http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=37606

I don't know what ADMIN told you this, but RBH's mark up is no different than 99% of the B&M type speaker companies in the business. In fact some of the much LARGER mainstream brands have an even higher markup than RBH.

In Polk's defense, we have casually requested review samples from Polk in the past at trade shows and via emails, but never heard back. Sometimes its hard to find the right contact person at some of the larger companies like Polk, but we will keep trying. Many of them still have their heads...

Axiom speakers aren't for everyone.... nor are Polk, Paradigm, Infinity, B&W, RBH, etc. Thankfully there is a variety of quality brands out there for people to take their pick based on their listening preferences.

I think 40AWG is an ultra extreme case. The wire would likely melt before you put any appreciable power through it. You can however likely hear sonic differences of say 26AWG wire compared to 10AWG wire for long runs. Most notably would be in bass as the wire with higher resistance may...

Roger Powell - Interview on Fossil Poets I was recently introduced to the music of Roger Powell. Much to my surprise, Roger has been on the music scene since the late 60s where he began his career as a recording engineer in Atlanta Georgia. If you didn’t know the name Roger Powell till now...

Those links will be back soon. We are working on adding that feature now. Thanks.

James; I am holding off on doing a review of the 5805CI as its too labor intensive for me to tear my 5805 out of my rack, especially since their Separates solution is coming this summer that uses Audyssey Pro. I will of course be doing a detailed test on this system once I get it. As...

James; check out our Pro Reviews section of the site which is full of reviews of Audyssey based receivers such as the Denon 3806 and 5805.

I hear you man. I'd love to see them live and then also have the HD DVD (if they release it). The sound will likely be better at home but the feeling at the show of course cannot be replicated. Although I've been to a few concerts lately that were disappointing live but better on DVD...

BTW John; It was not my intent to offend you by having Jim author an article about the topic on this thread. I want to get to the bottom of the truth about this topic just like everyone else does. After re-reading your PM, I apologize if using your quotes in this article has caused you...

The switch is there so the receiver CLIPS sooner for the UL test at a lower power level, thus generating less heat. IT DOES NOT protect the receiver any better than if its set for 8 ohms. In fact it potentially can damage your speakers since the amp will CLIP more readily. The receiver...

John; If you want to criticize me, follow our forum rules and do so via a PM or email to me at: gds@audioholics.com. If these actions were repeatedly carried out by any other member than yourself, I would have banned you long ago. I don't pay the bills here to have you question my motives...

What version of IE are you using? Also what Service Pack? I see this issue when I use IE 6.0 with SP1 but not with SP2. Are you behind a company firewall and using IE? If so, try using Firefox or try from another computer with no firewall. thanks.

Jim Lesurf was kind enough to write an article dispelling some of the fallacies posted in this thread. I hope this article puts this issue to bed and we can move on to real topics in audio that affects system performance. http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/~www_pa/Scots_Guide/audio/biwire2/page1.html
