I heard about this but TBH, I prefer Audyssey PC and using manual biquads to refine bass response and shelve fullrange correction below the point where Audyssey diverged from normal speaker response. I then use shelving filters to tilt treble to taste depending on room acoustics. This process...

I think one of our reviewers has the center channel in for review along with the smaller towers.

SACD and DVD-A should be passed digitally via HDMI and bass management, level and delays done at the AVR for the best fidelity. I get why the multich inputs are going away on AVRs. Thry just aren't necessary for majority users.

The new Denon AVR-A10H ($4,699) is a slightly scaled-down version of the $6,500 A1H. If you only need 13.4 channels instead of 15.4, you sacrifice very little by choosing the AVR-A10H over its more expensive sibling. The A10H offers 150 watts per channel, 4 sub outputs, and Dirac Live...

The Marantz Model 10 Reference Integrated Amplifier ($15,000) is the most powerful single-box amp the company has ever made. Co-developed with Purifi, the power amp section delivers 250 watts into 8 ohms and 500 watts into 4 ohms with SOTA noise and distortion performance. It’s also gorgeous and...

The new McIntosh MX200 A/V Processor ($6,000) is a small and attractive 11.2-channel pre/pro. Replacing the MX100 from a couple years ago, the MX200 offers improved HDMI capability and adds Dirac Live room correction. With only 4 HDMI inputs and some other glaring omissions, we can't help but...

I might be able to get a headphone company to sponsor some IEMs for 20+ year members here. Let me see what I can do. Definitely not watches tho. LOL

You guys rock. I truly appreciate the community you've helped to keep going for so long. It's been challenging to keep this forum active like it was 20 years ago. Unfortunately, it lost some of its steam after I replatformed to Xenforo and I don't know anyone that can help update it. After the...

There is a growing list of great audiophile shows around the world that is making the hobby less geo-dependent. The educated consumer is a better consumer and a trip to one or two of these shows can make you much more experienced in audio. As Jimi Hendrix once said “Get Experienced…” which is...

I got my samples in

A new study from LG Display and South Korea’s Kookmin University finds that watching an OLED TV leads to better sleep compared to LCD TVs with LED backlighting. While LED technology emits enough blue light to inhibit sleep, OLED TVs might actually improve sleep quality. . According to LG...

Amir discovered nothing new. I wrote a report of the DRX 4.3 5 years ago and came to the same conclusion that the lower end Integra/Onkyo AVRs aren't well suited for 4 ohm speakers and the low power mode tripped by protection doesn't reset unless you unplug the AVR. see...

When I ran my 8Ts in my old theater room, I sat about 15ft from them. I drove them extremely hard since I also had LFE routed to them for multi-channel. The STR never failed me. I drove those speakers with various amps including the Emotiva XPR-1s, Pass Labs X350.5 and Classe CT-2300. Classe was...

Again you made assumptions without knowing all of the facts or considering the application of the design. This is a dangerous thing to do in any field of discipline, especially when it comes to audio. I spoke to Shane Rich from RBH Sound who is an extremely seasoned and competent loudspeaker...

In a closed loop system with no bass management it works just fine as James reported running these as fullrange towers.

something is not right here. Perhaps your amps are lacking proper ventilation or your line sag is so drastic that the current demand on the amp is intense due to line voltage sag? I successfully used the Anthem STR power amp to drive my Status Acoustics 8T speakers for years in a 6,500 ft^3...

I don't think this is a fair assessment at all and I Think you missed the point of this product. It's designed as a 2CH solution for those that can't place subs at separate locations in their room. RBH did NOT Intend this to be a fullrange speaker that people would also add separate powered...
