The only way to be certain if the value it finds for subwoofer distance is to measure how well the sub integrates with the other speakers, particularly the mains and center channel. If your sub is 5ft away from your listening position and your mains are 15ft away, yet the receiver thinks the...

It depends if the subwoofer has DSP processing or if you cannot defeat its LPF. The only auto cal system I have tested to date that accurately determines subwoofer distance is Audyssey. In fact, its smart enough to calculate an average distance if you have more than 1 sub connected to the...

its something we are testing but aren't married to it yet.

Reducing background noise in a high performance home theater room is as important to audiophile as reducing light pollution in the room for videophiles. Most video experts encase projectors in their own transparent enclosures to minimize noise and many of the newer projectors are quieter than...

Some systems to consider: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/loudspeakers/RBHSoundSignatureSERp1.php throw in an Axiom EP500 or two and you've got one heck of a system that sounds as good as it looks. also check out this system which is a bit more forward sounding, not as smooth...

What a bunch of nonsense this is, especially since Denon and Yamaha are producing more powerful receivers than HK at the same price points, along with more features, and better reliability. This is one of the reasons Circuit City dumped HK in favor of Denon.

You may want to consider a Denon AVR-2807 or Yamaha RX-V1700 as a pre/pro with an external 7CH amp such as an Emotiva MPS-1. This will get you better processing, better dac's and a better amp section for roughly the same price. The disadvantage is you now have two boxes instead of one but as...

I heard the same thing about 2008, but I guess it depends on their success next year. Their Ray Wilson CD was a big mistake. It had potential if they didn't bubble gum it too much. The drumming was so simplistic and sterile which I heard is how Rutherford and Banks wanted it. I love those...

No as Jaxvon correctly points out. It does however double the capacitive load and halve the impedance but the former is usually very low and the latter is usually very high so its a non issue for any competently designed receiver or processor. I have 4 subs run off a single subwoofer output of...

Mark; All of your changes have been made for the graph and additonal graph we posted on this forum yesterday.

Odd that they aren't at the Farm doing rehearsals? Doesn't look like Gabriel or Hackett will be involved. I was at least hoping for Hackett but if Chester and Daryl tour with them it will be great as always. Last time I saw them was at Tampa stadium for 1 song until Collins ended the show...

If you can symmetrically locate the subs with respect to the listening position, its real easy. Then all you need is a Y-Splitter from your sub out of the receiver, and 2 rca cables to feed each subwoofer line level signal.

This article is grossly outdated (6 years actually) and I can assure you this is NOT how Dr. Toole thinks now about multiple subs. Harman has extensive research, one link is even provided earlier in this thread to demonstrate otherwise. See: http://www.harman.com/wp/pdf/multsubs.pdf...

3ft seems very short with no margin of error if you need more slack to move things around. I suggest buying a 6ft length and tucking away the excess behind the speaker or your rack. We aren't big fans of their products. We've found some of their terminations to be a bit flimsy and many of...

Mark asked me to respond to this thread while he awaits power restoration from the latest snowstorm up in Buffalo. The Room Gain Control (RGC) as implemented in the SB12-Plus functions essentially as a variable slope, highpass filter. It can be set to either Small, Medium, Large or Bypass...

The only time 1 sub is better than 2 is if the 1 sub can produce more output than the combo of the 2 subs. In most cases, choosing two slightly smaller but competent subs is better and there is NO dispute. Its a fact. The research is well documented by the likes of Harman, THX, HAA and us...

John, You're a pain in the butt, but absolutely correct! :) It turns out my measuerments were fine but I messed up a decimal point when importing the data to excel. I did this review late at night which I suppose isn't a good thing to do. Thanks for finding this and the review has...

I am glad that is just your opinion and NOT a fact :rolleyes: In almost all cases you are better off with 2 subs instead of one for better modal control. Its not as hard as you think to setup 2 subs, especially if you place them equidistant from the listening area starting with 1/4 width of...

They sound chocolatey :rolleyes: Something that measures better than 12AWG generic Zip Cord. No actually the debate amoung the soothsayers seems to have gone silent as of late :D I know it looks odd but I measured it twice. I will do a recal and try it again this week and report...
