    Yamaha RX-Z9 being discontinued?

    I just spoke with the marketing manager of Yamaha during the HT Cruise. There is no current replacement model for the Z9 in the immediate future. I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on a replacement for at least another year. If your local dealer (assuming an authorized one) is giving such huge...

    DVD Player Recommendation

    Um did you read our review of this player which tested it a bit more extensively? A good score does not a good player make if the test is too easy to pass. While the Oppo is a good budget player, it has a lot of shortcomings and is by no means in the category of some of the top players...

    Home Theater Cruise - Day One

    The boat is doing more rocking now while I am off of it than when I was one it. I hope these dizzy spells go away soon. I went to a party tonight at my best friends house and almost fell in his pool while we were all dancing. Oddly a few drinks mixed with some of the killer RumI brought back...

    Axiom M2i impressions

    Which Yamaha receiver do you have? Only their flagship models such as the RX-Z1/Z9 will allow you to engage presense and back channels. it has to be a 9.1 receiver for it to work that way otherwise you will have back surrounds or presence, but not both. Such is the case with the Yamaha...

    Axiom M2i impressions

    The M22tis are a significant upgrade to the M2is and M3is. They have double the driver surface area in the mids which allows them to play louder and handle dynamics better. That being said they do tend to have a bit of a bit to them which really show up in poorly treated rooms. Check your...

    Subwoofer lovers please read.

    Corner loading is usually not the way to go if you want uniform bass response for a wide listening area. In fact, we recommend using 2 or 4 subs symmetically placed in the room relative to the listening area. We have many articles on this topic to help you out with subwoofer placement...

    Frequency Response of Speakers

    There is alot more to a speaker than a simple frequency response measurement. Such as: On/off Axis Polar Response Frequency Response Uniformity at all power levels (ie. compression) Distortion performance variance between each speaker pair transient response impedance/phase to...

    TrueHD compatibility

    No there are no products on the market right now that are upgradable to TrueHD via firmware change. This protocol will only transmit on HDMI ver 1.3 or higher and the interface chips for this aren't ready. What will happen is you can get the ability to do normal DD at up to 640kbps (or less...

    Receiver Assistance

    While I am certainly no flag waiver for THX and am not the biggest fan of their post processing, and certainly not into their certification of cables and acoustic treatments, their certification on processors/receivers do ensure a few very important things: 1) Compatability with other THX gear...

    Receiver Assistance

    Of course this is a subjective opinion, but certainly valid for your case. Its easy to see how for $1500 Company A that offers no HDMI, ILink, THX, etc can produce a slightly meatier amp section than Company B that gives you all of the latest surround formats, and better processing and better...

    Help with speaker wire

    I just ran 3,000ft of 10/2 Belden cable for my new Audioholics Showcase Home, which is one of the finest speaker cables on the market. However, given the choice to do it all over again, I would have went with 14/4 for pair redundancy purposes. 14/4 gives you an 11AWG equivalent resistance...

    High Instantaneous Current Amp Spec

    Well there kinda is. If an amp can nearly double its power when halving its impedance than its as close to an ideal voltage source as possible and certainly qualifies as a "high current" amplifier design. This is a big demand to place on receivers that very few other than flagships such as the...
