    Marantz AV 10 15.4CH AV Processor Bench Test Results!

    I gave up on ART in my system for now for that very reason but Theo was able to tweak the hell out of his ART calibration to overcome some of those problems. To me, it's NOT worth it since I've got my manual calibration dialed in really good. That said, I'm hopeful with updates, to revisit and...

    sadly I just dumped a bunch of mint condition used audio gear at a substantially reduced price. I should have definitely waited.

    Another Disgrace from Gestapo USA.

    I have a couple of MAGA friends that also speak badly of Churchill now and how he should have spoken to Hitler rather than engaging in war. Again, I feel like I'm in the fucking twilight zone. This can't be real.

    Another Disgrace from Gestapo USA.

    I can't honestly believe this is real. I'm dumbfounded daily what comes out of his mouth. Untreated brain syphilis has to be the only explanation.

    Opinions of Anthem Users. I am considering the Anthem AVM 70 8K

    Anthem AVM70/90 are great products, easy to use and ARC is quick set up for good out of box results. Marantz AV10 is built to a higher standard and is a solid piece and offers a host of streaming options. Both are great in their own regards and I recommend watching our comparison video to learn...

    The Best Loudspeakers We Heard at AXPONA 2025

    Very valid points. RBH doing manufacturing in the USA now probably saved the company as a result of this Tariff nonsense. Yes Norway has been kicking out some great speakers and their tariff penalty is much lower. I do worry for Perlisten and other brands manufacturing in China. I know it's not...

    The Best Loudspeakers We Heard at AXPONA 2025

    The fact that you're derailing this thread twice about this is cheesy. I asked James to cover cool speakers and new products. A subwoofer is still a speaker. Adding subwoofer to the page title would make it too long. How we choose to cover or label coverage of products isn't for you to decide...
