Between the two speakers you are comparing, the Infinity is a better choice if you desire a speaker with higher linearity, smoother frequency response and greater accuracy. If you want higher SPL levels for partiess or you just like to blast your neighbors out, go for the Klipsch.

There is no dramatic difference between a toroidal transformer and a conventional transformer. Both work in same way. Basically the difference is just the mechanical form of the transformer. The main difference is that the traditional transformer and toroidal transformer are wound to a...

Both are good amps and are integrated into our reference systems. The Parasound will deliver more power in low impedance loads than the Integra Research. If you need more power, you may wish to consider the Parasound.

They only offer this option in limited production to select dealers. RBH doesn't really have a big marketing budget unfortunately so very few people realize the value that they offer.

Mark; I hope its not the AR cable that has about 1/2" space between conductors like the ones we previously reviewed here . If so, I recommend ditching it and replacing with some good 10AWG Zip cord or Canare 4S11.

I had the prototype 1266-SER in my reference system for 4 years prior to upgrading to the T-2 System. In one word, Phenominal! I originally proposed that RBH upgrade the standard Signature series product with Status drivers since the form factor of the two products were identical. They took...

I am pretty sure about the 132,000uF as per Denons specs ;) AVR 5805 Feature Sheet They are not using torroids despite what the data sheet says, they went back to dual Ecore xformers for space reasons. Don't forget this sucker has 10 amps. In most cases the user will be using only 7 of...

Mark; Its actually best to keep your video and audio interconnects as short as possible. Long speaker cable runs aren't an issue if you use sufficient gauge (10AWG or so). However, I am still more into option#1 as I like to see my gear up front, but thats just me. Make sure you use quality...

This system will work its way into entry level receivers and HTIB solutions very soon. I agree most people wont fork over $6k for a flagship receiver, but about about $1k for a HTIB system that actually sounds decent? Finally a solution to properly integrate the subs and satellite speakers!

The new AVR-5805 has dual power xformers and over 132,000uF of power supply capacitance, THX Ultra2 certification, and a hefty 90+lbs so yes it should be able to power just about any speaker load in a 3,000 cu ft room with no problems. Don't be caught up with the misnomer of receivers not being...

Currently Denon has implemented this technology in their new AVR-5805 flagship ($6000) and it will also likely show up in their AVR-4806. Yes is does equalize the subwoofers, independently infact! It will optimize the crossover setting, phase, splice between sub and center channel, 512 tap...

Amazing not one comment on this article, meanwhile if this was about cables, this thread would be packed. WAke up folks! :confused:

Leigh; That is b/c DVD-A/SACD are 5.1 channel formats. However, I believe you can engage PLIIX Music Mode to get 7.1 surround for these modes. Go into the surround setup menu and enable PLIIx for the EXT In/I.link mode.

Please let us know which topics you have the hardest time digesting and would like us to cover more thoroughly.

Actually 60-75% of dialog comes from the center channel, not all of the movie information. Its not surprising you are finding average power per channel being only a watt or so. Most of the time your amps will be in idle, consuming very little power, especially given todays highly sensitive...

I wouldn't use 16AWG cables, especially for long runs. It has about 2.5 times the resistance of standard 12AWG and the price difference between the two aren't that significant for the added benefits of low resistance cables especially when dealing with speakers that have low impedance profiles...

RJ; I will see if we can get Ken to comment on this. I personally didn't hear or test the subs. I did however listen to the speakers and wasn't overly impressed, especially considering the price. I am not a big fan Thiel design approach but one mans meat is another mans poison I suppose.

Looping cable actually doesn't change the properties (namely inductance) significantly unless you have a numerous loops tightly wound. The point of the article was that cable lengths do not need to be kept identical so long as the lengths are reasonable to begin with. Obviously you don't...
