    Anthem Statement D-1

    Art; The RDC7.1 is a more flexible platform IMO. It is a great design that shows much potential with future upgrades that I am confident Integra Research will support in a timely manner. Aside from the performance, the build quality is second to none. I don't want to give away too much...

    Speaker cable: Which 10-gauge? To braid or not to braid?

    If you biwire 2 x 14AWG cables then the woofer will only see 14AWG cable resistance, as will the tweeter. You are better off doing a single run of Canare 4s11 like jaxon suggests, so the effective DCR from the cable resistance will be 11AWG for all drivers. Remember the key to minimizing...

    Bass Management Basics – Settings Made Simple

    Please don't dismiss the importance of a good floorstander speakers just b/c you are likely to cross them over. There is still significant bass energy below the crossover point so the speaker is still contributing to the overall response. In addition the M80's have much more dynamic range than...

    Bass Management Basics – Settings Made Simple

    Unless your processor has independent crossover settings for channel pairs, and properly integrates the bass back into the sub, set the xover no lower than the 3dB point of the speakers in your system with the weakest bass response. In this case your center channel. Its imperative to get the...

    B&W 705 vs Dynaudio 52 vs 52se

    I found this to be an issue if the speaker is used as fullrange. If you are crossing them over at 80Hz or so, it should be less of a problem. Oddly, Dynaudio is one of the few companies remaining that don't employ methods to avoid this issue with their drivers.

    Should I build the wall? Not a Floyd question.

    No problem Ethan. I hope you enjoy them. I am a math guy, but most of this goes beyond what I consider fun. The algorithms they developed for room mapping makes a trip to the moon seem easy :)

    Should I build the wall? Not a Floyd question.

    Unless your kid has a Masters/PHD level education in mathematics, he may have some difficulty as well. Even passive room treatments have limitations in dealing with nulls. Again, this system isn't meant to replace passive room treatment, but to compliment it and do things that passive room...

    Axiom vs. Velodyne subs

    The EP500 is a leap forward in technology for Axiom and is a significant upgrade to their EP350. The EP500 will likely player louder and deeper than your old Velodyne. Why not use both :) Check out our brief write up on these new subs Axiom Audio EP500/600 First Look

    Should I build the wall? Not a Floyd question.

    Bpage; Active room correction needs not be expensive. The Audyssey system is integrated into 2 receivers so far and is working its way into more budget receiver and even HTIB systems! If you really are interested in how they accomplish MultEQ successfully, check out our review of the...

    Should I build the wall? Not a Floyd question.

    Ethan; I emailed you the papers. There is plenty of math in there to keep you entertained. Again this is NOT averaging please read the papers and it will correct for multiple positions at the same time and derive a very accurate transfer function of the room response. Bpage; The...

    Should I build the wall? Not a Floyd question.

    Ethan; Again you aren't understanding that EQ systems have come a long way such as the Audyssey one which works very well for full range. If you wan't I can send you the white papers that goes into detail on how this system maps the room response so it doesn't just correct for one listening...

    The Jon Risch Vent

    Don't forget the chocolately midrange that a good cable can bring out in your system. This was one of my design goals when I developed the GLOB cable. Also there is no need to cook or cryo treat them. Simply refrigerate before serving ;)
