    Fan + Motor = Subwoofer? New Tech

    they actually contacted us to review it and we declined. If i need more subsonic bass in my room, I could always decouple the air intake from my air handler in my primary home theater room :rolleyes:

    Hmm, Boycott is a understatement.

    Lets also not forget that the Muslin religion didn't attack us. a group of extremists under the guise of that religion did. True muslims are pacifists just like most religions until someone perverts its meaning.

    Off topic discussion about reviews and MSRP

    Sounds like you would be much happier reading consumer reports. I recommend you subscribe there, from what I can remember it isn't that expensive and they have nice 1-2 paragraph reviews that objectively analyze products :rolleyes: Ah more false assumptions again. You know the old saying...

    High Instantaneous Current Amp Spec

    Actually by FTC mandate, receiver power has to be rated into 2 channels. Thus the published spec from Yamaha is guaranteed for at least 2 channels driven, though I have usually found them to exceed their ratings in that capacity and thats without holding the line voltage up either ;)

    High Instantaneous Current Amp Spec

    If you have any technical sense than I don't need to back up my statement about the Audio Precision Test sweep. Its a fact. Companies like HT Magazine use that test. Its a useful test, but NOT representative of a continuous power test. As for the rail fuse and regulation, read the...

    High Instantaneous Current Amp Spec

    That rating is based on a UL/IEC Standard (not sure which one) where 2CH driven at max power while all other channels driven at 1/8th power. Its NOT a max power consumption rating for the receiver.

    Hot Separates System Recommendation Tip

    6dB voltage difference [20*log[(V2/V1)] 3 dB power difference [10*log(P2/P1)] typically when you measure/publish SNR its with respect to a certain voltage level so that is why I related to the 6dB difference. By simply working the power #'s into terms for voltage (P = V^2/R) while doing...

    Anthem or Denon Set Up.

    Many folks fail to realize the laws of diminishing returns happen rather quickly with electronics. Many of the exotic brands are simply repackaging less sophisticated electronics in a fancy box and pawning them off as Separates solutions. What is even more amazing is that people are...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    Most amp companies are conservative with their 2CH power ratings as their amps will usually deliver more power than speced in that instance with one of the few exceptions being the Emotiva MPS-1 as I explained in my review. The reason they adhere to or exceed their published spec for up to...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    Actually dynamic power is relevant to sound quality. The Krell amp you are so fond of likely has alot of overhead past its 125wpc rating, especially when driving low impedance loads. Again, see my post above for other reasoning. Regardless, this thread was not discussing sound quality as much...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    thxgoon; Ok, but what does that have to do with my previous post showing that very few amplifiers (separates included) can meet full power under this type of test scenario? I never even discussed sonic attributes. The truth of the matter is an absolute power rating of an amp, just like...
