    Yamaha RX-V659 Receiver Review!

    Well we will be conducting more realistic multi channel tests in the near future but the tests we do now do reveal if the amp has enough juice for multi channel applications. I am not familiar with the HTR5690. However, if its from the same model year and carries the same retail price, its...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    At this point you have two practical options: 1) use active equalization to cut the low frequency bass modes 2) add an additional sub along with #1

    RBH speakers

    The T30-LSE have significant more bass extension and slam than the original T2p system b/c of the new high excursion subs as well as 25% more box volume since its all one cabinet design. The T30's also have a more airy and focused soundstage than the T2p system. Its definately a significant...

    RBH speakers

    Because they are freakin cool and I liked them :D RBH will likely offer a dual cabinet version much like the original T2p system sometime down the road.

    PSB Alpha System Review

    Mind you that is with 2 subwoofers. All; As you may have gathered, Ken doesn't have a lot of experience reviewing budget consumer gear. Considering he builds his own speakers, his expectations of performance is higher than many of our reviewers. That being said, in speaking with...

    RBH speakers

    The T30-LSE speaker system is certainly one of the most impressive speaker systems I've ever heard. Too bad they are only making 100 pairs of them which I believe they already sold nearly a dozen at the show. As amazing as they are you do need to have the appropriate room for them. If your...

    Best Receiver to get - below $600?

    The Pioneer 1016 looks like another winner and with HDMI switching. Difficult choices :) http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069809_316743263_tab=B,00.html?compName=PNA_V3_ProductDetailsComponent

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    That could be caused by having the bass level set too high in your system, and/or too much gain at low frequencies between your main speakers and your sub. If you are playing your main speakers full range as well as also having a dedicated sub, it gets tricky to calibrate and you may have too...

    Best Receiver to get - below $600?

    Most auto correction systems built into receivers aren't very good, with the exception to Audyssey which can be great if used properly. Don't let this be a deciding factor for your purchasing decision, especially at this price. The RX-V659 is a class leading product at its price point and will...

    Bass drop out at 75-55hz

    Sounds like you are dealing with a room node. However as an experiment, defeat the bass management of your processor by setting the crossover to 200Hz and seeing if the node from 55-75Hz goes away. If not, try repositioning your sub to the front center wall of the room. You may need to...

    Review Suggestion

    We have covered this topic to death in our forums and even in our reviews. Mid to top end receivers from the likes of Yamaha, Denon, Pioneer Elite, Integra, etc offer excellent preamp outs these days comparible and sometimes better than dedicated separate pre/pros. For example, the preamp...

    CEDIA 2006 Show Coverage Official Forum Thread!

    Not quite but thanks for the compliment. You should have seen me 30lbs and 5 years ago when bodybuilding was as much of a passion of mine as audio. Its so hard to build muscle (at least for me), but so easy to lose it :confused:

    CEDIA 2006 Show Coverage Official Forum Thread!

    I think it has mostly to do with their Marketing Director and not the company as a whole. He made implications to us that they only acquire reviews from publications that they advertise in and that they expect to take our reviews after they are done, reformat them and publish them on their...

    Our coverage of the 5805CI is under the Processors section of our main CEDIA page. No the current 5805 cannot be upgraded to all of the new updated the 5805CI will have. Sherwood Newcastle had a dismal display of their products at CEDIA. Their booth offered no support for press and most...
