Very true and yes I am a huge Genesis fan and counting the days till they announce their US tour :D

Not sure where you are coming from since he is still highly revered in many music magazines and most noted for his jazz work in the earlier days of Brand X. His timing is impeccable and he has a defining sonic signature of his own. He was worked with some of the best musicians in the industry...

Integrated Systems Europe, Europe’s number one show for professional AV and Electronic System Integrators, took place in Amsterdam, Netherlands from January 30th through February 1, 2007. CEDIA’s Home Cinema Europe booth consisted of select, well-known CEDIA manufacturers including: Runco...

Neil is great, among the top rock drummers but not quite up to the likes of Bill Bruford, Carl Palmer, Phil Collins and Steve Gadd IMO. Though his true strength resides in his great song writer ability making him responsible for most of Rush's best songs IMO. Check out this goodie...

Buddy Rich was the master that tought and inspired so many of todays good drummers, including Carl Palmer. I still think nobody holds a candle to the SNL Church Chat lady (Dana Carvy) playing the sticks. Too bad there is no Youtube video on it. Priceless. :D

Yea he sure does give Lars Ulrich a run for his money on the bass drums :D

Well most mortals can't hear below 20Hz and very little music/movie content goes below 20Hz but what's important is the sub will play very well down to 20Hz, MUCH BETTER than your Bose 321.

Reminds me of a "slow" version of Carl Palmer :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnQuuDnkeJ8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZrvES90m2c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBav0J_Fs1A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn9fkAGwJcM Of course Antonio Sanchez is tought to beat...

Not sure where you can buy the level of drivers found in x-ls at the price you are quoting but I find it hard to believe. The Ascend tweeter I have seen in the past use un-heatsinked neodynium motor structurers whereas the tweeters found in the x-ls have a conventional magnet. I am not saying...

There is merit to using higher quality crossover parts beyond tighter tolerances. For one you typically don't want to use electrolytic caps in series with tweeters because of their nonlinearities at higher frequencies and their relatively higher ESR. Air core inductors compared to iron...

Dolby; Your subs are 2x the size of your TV. Glad you have your priorities straight :D

Vinyl can sound superior to CD for ONE very good reason - recording quality. In the days of Vinyl, recording engineers were careful not to exceed levels into clipping to avoid damage to the stylus. With today's LOUDER is better mentality of Radio, the industry is putting out LOUDER and...

Definately 2 subs with the second one located at the bottom right corner of the room. Also if you can move the couch off the back wall about a foot or so it would benefit you by reducing the big hump in the 25-40Hz region. With the listening position where its at, you wont need a sub to...

I don't recommend modding your sub in any way. Try experimenting on placement and setup. Eventually you may wish to add a second sub and run them as a stereo pair to better supplement your mains and even out bass response in your room.

No only the Audioholics GLOB can improve the fidelity of your system. Email me if you would like to place an order :D

I had some troubles with my first review sample so this delayed my schedule considerably. I am actually writing up the review as we speak and if all goes well, it should be online in 2 weeks. To give you a sneak peek, here are some preliminary power measurements: Power tested...

Alternatively if you want to spend around $2k on separates, consider the Emotiva Reference Theater Series: http://emotiva.com/products.html It has a nice meaty amp (similar to the MPS-1 but non modular and slightly less power). Although it doesn't have all the latest features of say a...

I never bothered to buy the old Star Trek movies on DVD before ST VI because I assumed the sound quality would be so poor. I always liked ST III b/c of Christopher Lloyd as Klingon. Regardless if there is actual bass sent to the center channel, you will likely benefit by setting the center...

Peter; I am curious, if one had a subwoofer that was linear beyond its 80Hz crossover point, and placed 2 or 4 of them in the room to smooth out bass response, do you think the MBM product would still be needed? I have found it beneficial to set Satellite speakers to full range (assuming...
