    Sure but its pretty interesting that this old CD review got so much attention on the forum :rolleyes: Easy guy, especially since she will be attending CES with us and will likely be monitoring the site.

    Actually in a meaningful sense evolution is a fact, but there are various theories concerning the mechanism of it.

    Emotiva DMC-1 Preamp-Processor Review

    Clint is out of town so I thought I would pipe in here. Thanks for the comments on our site. The Emotiva DMC-1 is lacking in features compared to the Yamaha 2600, especially in the video department. However on the flip side, the DMC-1 is simpler to use and aesthetically a better match with...

    Michael Franks Skin Dive CD Review

    I hate to agree with you, but you are right. At least he did on his old albums. He looks more normal now. I do think he has a major foot fetish however {ie. Popsicle toes) :)

    Phase problem with new Yamaha RX-V1500

    Don't trust the YPAO results. Trust your ears instead. I recommend using YPAO only to set speaker distances (not the sub) and levels. Do the rest manually and don't use the EQ unless it is extremely necessary. Check out our reviews of the Z9, 2400, 2500, and 4600 for further elaborations.

    Michael Franks Skin Dive CD Review

    Now that is a cool album to just chill with in the evening, lights dimmed, with a nice glass of black sambuca on the rocks.

    Board Recinds ID Policy I think this provides some good closure to this issue. I bet a lot of science teachers are releaved to not have to teach religious views as science or devalue provable sciences such as evolution. Board Rescinds ID Policy I still don't see why they can't teach it...

    Official Denon AVR-5805 Review Support Thread

    Yes if you set up bass management for LFE + Main than LFE signal will goto both subs, but NOT the main channels. Did you read my review? I go over bass management of this receiver quite extensively.

    SVS SBS-01 Speaker System Review

    There are alot of factors regarding efficiency of a loudspeaker system which any compentent designer could likely explain better than myself. Yes it is typical for a loudspeaker company to pad down the response of a tweeter in order for it to be better matched with the midrange. In the case...

    SVS SBS-01 Speaker System Review

    Yes assuming your amp clips from being overdriven. A higher end receiver / amplifier not only delivers more power, but also more usable power since it usually has lower output impedance and minimizes frequency response variation when driving reactive loads. Regardless; you should apply bass...

    SVS SBS-01 Speaker System Review

    RE: All Channels Driven Looks like a very dynamic amp section which is great for a receiver in this price range. I thought we cleared this topic up months ago but I see it still lingers on: Please see our sticky thread on : All Channels Driven Test Now that I am in our new...

    SVS SBS-01 Speaker System Review

    Huh? If the speaker is 8 ohms, than 1 watt/meter is equivalent to saying 2.83V/meter. If however the speaker is 4 ohms and the rating is 2.83V/meter than the speaker is being driven by 2 watts instead of one watt so you must scale back the rating 3dB to compare apples to apples.

    Processor or High End Receiver?

    For the money, I wouldn't recommend either of these processors, especially the more expensive C1 which simply adds a 5" display at a whopping markup of $2k! You are far better off with a good Denon or Yamaha receiver and using it as a prepro coupled to your excellent Parasound amps. You can...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    Yes this amp will sound different partly due to a much higher noise floor than the ones in your Denon receiver. As for deciding on when you need a separate amp as opposed to a mid line receiver like the 3805, its a function of a few things: 1) Speaker Sensitivity 2) Speaker Impedance /...
