    Any sign of a Yamaha RX-V3400?

    <font color='#000000'>Actually the RX-V1400 and 2400 have the ability to switch off the back channels in favor of front effects (presence). &nbsp;I am pretty sure if you add an external two channel amp, you can have 7.1 + front effects. &nbsp;If my suspicions are correct, than the ultimate for...

    Yamaha Debuts RX-Z9 at CEDIA 2003

    <font color='#000000'>Monotech; Firstly, I think it is a great idea for the receiver to be the demarcation point for video switching and upconversion.  Rest assured with the horsepower of the Z9, it will probably do a better job of upconverting and de-interlacing than most flagship DVD players...

    Review of SDC-CE775

    <font color='#000000'>Mod_free; There is reason for the LFE level being low for DVD-A/SACD. &nbsp;It has to do with format differences between DVD-A/SACD and DD/DTS. &nbsp;Denon has a technote on that.

    Axiom Millenia 80 vs Paradigm Studio 80

    <font color='#000000'>Duff; My listening impressions of the Paradigm Studio 60v2 vs the 80v2 were very similar to yours.  I just felt the 80s midrange was more recessed than the 60's.  I personally prefer the 40/60s to the 80s.  While the 80's have better bass extension than both, most people...

    Yamaha and THX ultra2

    <font color='#000000'>Again Bruce, your 6dB loss figures are based on an sound dead room. &nbsp;I know of nobody that has such a listening environment so the losses are usually less severe. &nbsp;I suggest taking an SPL meter and measuring the losses vs distance to your speakers in your room...
