<font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I agree with everything you say here. &nbsp;I have seen too many cases where people run out and buy mega receivers or even separates and pair them with mediocre speakers from booze or other &quot;Cubed&quot; systems and just scratch my head and ask...

<font color='#000000'>I have a mint 2 year old Aragon 8002 amplifier that was designed in the pre klipsch era. It is generally agreed by audiophiles that this amp, as well as their other 8008 series amps of the time are superior both sonically, and electrically to their newer, lighter, and less...

<font color='#000000'>Bruce; I corrected my last message regarding A vs C weighing. &nbsp;Sorry for the blunder. &nbsp;I am trying to respond to messages in the middle of a loud Columbian party and my brain is a little fried right now &nbsp; So how much power do you think one really needs...

<font color='#000000'>Very good link Yamahaluver. &nbsp;In fact, I added it to an old FAQ article I did on the very topic: SPL &amp; Watts and more... Let's use THX as an example again. &nbsp;Note, I am not endorsing THX, just citing an example. THX recommends calibrating a system to 75dB...

<font color='#000000'>Bruce; Your calculations are ideal at best.  They do not account for room acoustics which usually allows acoustic coupling to make the source sound much louder at the listening position.  Nor  do you account for multiple sources at once.  Each added source (the speaker)...

<font color='#000000'>Clint; I agree it would be nice to have manufacturers give an all channels driven at full bandwidth power measurement, but it is really not a realistic test scenario since this type of condition rarely occurs in a typical home theater environment. &nbsp;In addition, the...

<font color='#000000'>Audiouser, You would be surprised to know that many of the integrated amp sections of the top receivers and the ones to come, simply outperform and outgun many of the low end &quot;Separates&quot; solutions. &nbsp;I don't want to incriminate any companies per se, but if...

<font color='#000000'>Paul; Thanks for your feedback. &nbsp;Normally we do publish review dates to our reviews. However, after the redesign of Audioholics and transfer to the new server, we lost the dates of some of our older reviews and articles. &nbsp;We have since then been searching though...

<font color='#000000'>In light of our most recent findings with many of today’s receivers and Preamp/Processors, we have prepared a “wish list” to assist manufacturers in developing their next generation of products with critical features we and our readers deem as being essential. This...

<font color='#000000'>I am not surprised about the Sting releases. &nbsp;I have always found his recordings were well done, some of the best sounding pop CD's IMO. &nbsp;I have a few of his DTS discs that also sound quite good. As for Rush, most of their CD's weren't recorded that well, in fact...

<font color='#000000'>Personally Bob, if one were to spend $600 on the Denon AVR-2802 at Crutchfield, I would alternatively suggest they spend about the same elsewhere for the newer and improved AVE-2803 which implements dual differential DAC's all around, and has better SNR than even the...

<font color='#000000'>Eric/All; Just a point of clarification, just because Receiver A rates frequency response and THD differently than Receiver B, doesn't necessarily mean one is better than the other. It is often the case that lower end receivers are rated only down to 40Hz to give the...

<font color='#000000'>Dis; Congrats on your purchase. &nbsp;There is nothing wrong with paper/kevlar drivers and B&amp;W does employ very high quality units for their bass drivers. &nbsp;Good luck.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I believe you are right regarding the differences between the Z1 and AZ1 as they are sold in different markets and for some reason Yamaha chooses to sell their flagships minus the tuner in the international marketplace. &nbsp; As for keeping your 995 as a pre/pro and...

<font color='#000000'>Brent; Glad to hear you are getting back on your feet.  Don't forget to mention Audioholics for a discount should you choose Axiom Audio as your new speakers.  We are working with other online audio manufacturers to get our members discounts as well.  Stay tuned...</font>

<font color='#000000'>Hi Brian; We don't have all of the details yet on the new Parasound Halo processor but from what we have heard so far it is supposed to be quite impressive. &nbsp;I plan on personally reviewing one in a few months and I am most excited to do so. &nbsp;They have some very...

<font color='#000000'>Hi Peter; I would classify her as Jazz with lumps &nbsp; You wont find her music on Smooth Jazz radio stations. &nbsp;I find her music to be melodic, non simplistic, with interesting lyrics to say the least. &nbsp;When her band kicks in, things really get interesting.</font>
