    Axiom M2i's Speaker Measurements

    <font color='#000000'>Lets also not forget that just because a speaker measures well in an on-axis nearfield situation, doesn't necessarily tell you how it plays into a room. &nbsp;You can measure identical nearfield response of two different speakers, but how they ultimately play into the room...

    B&K Ref 50

    <font color='#000000'>Audio1; I too would love to find a processor for $2-3K that can offer all of the features of a $1K receiver. &nbsp;The AVR-3805 will likely make for an excellent pre/pro! &nbsp;LEt us know how it works out.</font>

    Some days good, some bad!

    <font color='#000000'>Good point. &nbsp;Didn't think about the power as being another possible reason. Yes a good beer (IPA especially ;) ) or Red wine works wonders on listening experience &nbsp;</font>

    Integra Research RDC-7.1

    <font color='#000000'>All of your concerns regarding Integra Research and what you think there policy should be have been noted. &nbsp;I think this is a good stopping point for this forum as much of it seems counterproductive and repetitive. &nbsp;When we hear back from Integra Research on their...

    <font color='#000000'>Make sure you have DD/DTS bitstream enabled on your DVD player audio set-up menu. &nbsp;Then select the DTS soundtrack in the DVD menu. &nbsp;On your receiver, set it to &quot;Auto&quot;. &nbsp;Once it locks on, press DTS button.</font>

    Some days good, some bad!

    <font color='#000000'>You know I was going to write an article about this but figured people may think I was crazy (well maybe I am ) Anyways, my best listening experiences are after 10pm at night and I attribute them to: 1) Very quite house (daughter asleep, usually the Air/heat not on, no...

    Anyone owns a Yamaha RX-Z9 yet?

    <font color='#000000'>Jab; I don't see how the crossover will degrage performance in a single wire vs biwire scenario. &nbsp;There really is little to no benefit of biwiring other than reducing cable impedance (namely resistance, and possibly inductance). &nbsp;However, if you start out with a...

    <font color='#000000'>Abe, after I finish my Denon DVD-5900 review, I will be focusing on the Dynaudio 52SE speakers. &nbsp;Sorry, for the delay, but until I can quit my dayjob things sometimes take longer than anticipated.</font>

    Canton Karat Reference 2 DC

    <font color='#000000'>Peter; Using a receivers internal amps with an amp section any less than a flagship product such as those from Denon, B&amp;K, Yamaha, etc is not advised given the low sensitivity and reactive load impedance these speakers present. &nbsp;I would strongly caution potential...

    Integra Research RDC-7.1

    <font color='#000000'>Not sure about half baked. &nbsp;The audio I am hearing from the Denon DVD-5900 doing SACD is nothing short of stellar! My only gripe is dealing with configuration differences between analog for SACD and Dlink for DVD-A. &nbsp;Though this problem will be short lived soon...

    Anyone owns a Yamaha RX-Z9 yet?

    <font color='#000000'>Al; Thanks for the informative report. &nbsp;I should have my review sample by end of March. &nbsp;Its a shame to hear about no sub out in direct mode as this directly affects my speaker set-up when listening to DVD-A or SACD. &nbsp;Now I will likely have to route my subs...

    Integra Research RDC-7.1

    <font color='#000000'>Just a few points of clarity regarding SACD vs DVD-A. 1) Most SACD discs are PCM remastered recordings 2) Any Receiver/Processor that will soon be shipping that can decode SACD will still have to convert DSD to PCM to handle bass management and digitial delay compenstation...

    RCA vs Component

    <font color='#000000'>Pam, you are correct. &nbsp;If the video cable is a true 75ohm shielded coax, it should do just fine with audio. &nbsp;However standard twister pair RCA, unshielded audio cables is NOT advised for high bandwidth video (especially HDTV)!</font>
