    Understanding In-wall Speaker, Video and Audio Cable Ratings

    <P><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">We're often asked questions about the suitability of particular cables or speaker wires for in-wall installation, and it's not surprising; with surround speakers being wired all around home theater rooms, ceiling-mounted projectors being...

    Audioholics is Forbes Favorite Best of the Web

    Sjdpt; Sure we can always use more reviewers, send your resume and credentials to me at gds@audioholics.com. We are looking to cover alot more products this year. With speakers, it can be difficult since many manufacturers opt for us to beta test and NOT publish reviews of their products.

    USA Today Report on MonsterCable

    BMX points well taken. I always try to remain optimistic. I guess that can sometimes be my undoing.

    USA Today Report on MonsterCable

    Here is my original email to the USA Today report following our phone call interview. It was a pleasure speaking with you today regarding cables. We are appreciative of this interview opportunity and allowing us to get a very useful message out to an unwary public being constantly bombarded...

    USA Today Report on MonsterCable

    BMX we are not debating whether or not Monster products are good. We are however infuriated by the misquoting and the poor testing methodology in this article. Notice they didn't even mention the wire gauge used. How do we know they didn't simply pick up some 24AWG telephone cable from home...

    USA Today Report on MonsterCable

    Being misquoted really upsets us, but we thought you would find this delightfully shallow report (endorsement?) on Monster Cable products interesting. The main article is located here. While the main article has some nice statements in it such as the fact that "Nobody has ever been able...

    Type of products you would like more reviews of ?

    My advice to anyone wanting us to review Pioneer receivers is to write or call them directly and request it. Its difficult finding a good contact with them. Also, regarding affordable amps, I will soon be publishing a review of a couple of 7CH $2k amps. Hope that helps out.

    The new GLOB cables

    When I presented these cables at the Monster Booth during the CES show, I told the Monster people if they tried to copy this cable design and/or terminology, I would sue them :eek: However, I was willing to sell them the rights for a price :rolleyes:

    Exclusive Denon AVR-3805 First Look!

    Bad idea. Do not mix and match amps for biamping purposes unless they have the same overall gain structure otherwise you won't properly match levels between the mid/tweets and woofers. Unless you can vary the gain of your amp to match the Denon amp you will likely have a mismatch. IF...

    RBH 661-SE power question

    I would steer clear of most pro amps. They are meant for sound reinforcement and usually give little regards to distortion and noise. Quaility amplifier power can be had cheaply and unless you are blasting music into a large room at full range, your current amps should be sufficient. The 200...

    Audyssey MultEQ

    **********News Flash******** At CES we learned from Denon that the AVR-5805 actually has dual Ecore xformers (from the AVR-3805) and a single Torroid (from the AVR-5803) to power the 10 amps, along with 132,000uF of power supply capacitance. They also told us this amp is fully capable of...

    CES 2005 Coverage OFFICIAL THREAD

    We had several people tell us we need to assign a price tag on this. My idea was to charge a reasonable price for the cable itself and charge through the roof for the GLOB accessories which must be changed out daily for maximum performance :) What do you think guys?

    CES 2005 Coverage OFFICIAL THREAD

    They are still working out the details on the cabinet finish. So there were no demo models displayed at CES this time around. I did catch a glimpse at a prototype cabinet and it looks really cool. I think this will be worth the wait for sure. Stay tuned.... Yes it does, and most...

    Need ceiling speaker recommendation for HT

    RBH makes excellent inwall speakers. I have done numerous installs with their products and my clients have been most satisfied. They don't do the tiling woofers for the very reasons Pat has stated in the previous post. I am in full agreement! Triad makes inwalls also makes some...

    Rives Audio Test CD

    Welcome to the loudspeaker/room interface, the most critical component in your system. It is not atypical to see a 20db roll off at 20kHz when at the listening position off axis to the main speakers. You may wish to recheck by placing the mic a meter or 2 away from the acoustic center of a...

    Blue Jeans Cable interconnect quality??

    Their component video cables are good enough for us to give them Product of the Year Award for 2004 We fully endorse the products that they sell. In fact the new home I am building will be wired exclusively with Bluejeans Cable if it means anything to ya.

    Digital Audio

    TOSLINK has been found in some cases to be inferior to COAX not so much b/c of the cable itself, but the interface. The optical interface can be up to 10dB noisier than COAX. There was an article about this done by Panasonic or another manufacturer a few years ago and I will try to dig it up.

    Audyssey MultEQ

    That is perplexing considering the unit we inspected when we were judges at EHX Show revealed two Ecores on the bottom of the unit. AVR-5805 I will let you know next week at CES for sure. Thanks for the photo.
