Guys; I had a math error in my Damping Factor calculations. The 659 is actually better than I reported in this regard. I have since then updated the graph, rating in the table and related commentary. http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/YamahaRX-V659p4.php very...

so far freddorn appears to be trolling.

Actually I have both systems in a dedicated "treated" room with a very high end system. There is no doubt the Audyssey Pro unit is much better at bass correction than the system in the 5805. As for speaker correction, Pro is better, but my speakers don't need alot of correction so I am just...

Not sure what else there is to ad to a 3,000 word, 10 page (word doc) on a $750 subwoofer. Perhaps you can fill in the rest of the info from a Consumer Reports or CNET review :rolleyes: 1& 2. Bela Fleck & The Flecktones “Flight of the Cosmic Hippo” (Label: Warner Bros\WEA; ASIN: B000002LOZ)...

The slow DTS playback was NOT a function of the Yamaha receiver. It was the el cheapo Sony DVD/VCR combo unit as I clearly stated in the review. I am not sure why you are trying to compare a $550 receiver (RX-V659) to a $1100 receiver (AVR-2807). Its not a fair comparison with the obvious...

People do this for sound reinforcement or distributed audio. Rarerly is it done to improve fidelity and in most cases you don't want two speakers playing identical content near each other b/c of comb filtering effects.

Marantz is another one of those companies with ups and downs. They were up in the 70's and down in the 80s. They then released the stunning SR-18 receiver which at the time IMO was the best receiver on the market, only to replace it the following tw model cycles with an inferior product. They...

They are bookshelf speakers in a floorstanding cabinet since the drivers don't see the entire box volume. Its mentioned in the review.

Up until about 10 years ago your assesment would have been spot on. But I feel ever since Onkyo entered the 5.1/7.1 discrete surround receiver marketplace their amp sections have suffered compared to their competitors. IMO their last excellent amp section in a receiver was in their 828THX...

Audyssey is beneficial below 80Hz even on the receiver models. You have to look at measurements from each seat to appreciate it. Nulls are hard to deal with using active equalization and its good that Audyssey doesn't attempt to boost and waste amp power. So far, Audyssey is the best...

I hear ya, but the DAC's in this processor are transparent and are some of the industries best. None of us were able to hear any sonic degradation as a result.

Ray, we are cracking down on power conditioners this year and in order for them to be considered "conditioners" they must meet the following criteria: 1) surge suppression 2) line filtering 3) regulation In this case, the Furman Elite-15 doesn't have regulation thus we don't consider it a...

Yes and they didn't want any press covering it. I spoke to their Marketing Director and he said if we covered this piece it would hurt them b/c it wont officially be released until CES and we would reduce the appeal of the product if its already old news. Go figure :rolleyes:

huh? The HK is rated at 70wpc into 2CH where as the Yammie is rated at 100watts and I tested it to 132 watts into 8 ohms and 200watts into 4 ohms! The Yammie also weighs in about 4-5lbs heavier.

Its Class D, but with a proprietary Post Filter Feedback stage developed by Axiom. Think of it as a 7CH amp with a free amp thrown in. 10.5 surely you're mad? :D I know don't call you Surely :)
