This was our experience during the current PSA phase. SVS in the early days was a much different company for sure. I really like the direction they are in now under Gary Yacobian. He really knows how to run a successful company while also humanizing the brand to people during tradeshow and meet...

Yep and the PSA owner attacks 3rd party measurements if they don't favor his products.

yea this is tragic but I'm hoping they will change this based on my meetings I've been having with them. I have a call with Dirac this week to discuss bass and hopefully come up with a viable plan for ART in my system.

Yes I discuss this in the article and Youtube video. I used LFE distribution (a feature I asked Marantz to incorporate and they finally did!) I set it to -3dB routing to my Perlisten speakers in conjunction with my JL Audio subs. It only works for Audyssey NOT Dirac since Dirac automatically...

I had problems with the Dirac implementation on the AV 10 when I tried to set it up. Even Matt Poes was here and we couldn't get it dialed in right. I will have to revisit this AFTER I sort out the Dirac ART issues in my theater room. As Khan said to Kirk in STWOK "Time is a luxury I don't have". :(

thanks for acknowledging my efforts on the Marantz coverage. It's been pretty exhaustive but I like to take on projects like this once or twice a year since it's the root of why I started Audioholics 25 years ago. I wish I had more time to do coverage like this but am now buried peer reviewing...

My bench test has been updated to a full review with accompanying Long-term usage review on Youtube dropping at 11am EST today: https://www.audioholics.com/av-preamp-processor-reviews/marantz-av-10-15.4ch-processor

Writing disp Writing disparaging comments about Audioholics on another forum breaks one of our forum rules and earned Buckchester a permanent ban here. No soup for him!

I have zero desire to pursue what you suggest and it would be far less efficient to how we run things now. For the record SVS was not overly pleased with James review and it's possible they won't send another product to us from this series. It's a risk we take and we've lost many advertisers...

Let's not lose site of the fact that Audioholics owes you nothing. You choose to come here and consume our content for free. Since you don't support the site in any way and only criticize what we do, you have no voice to be critical. I value our readership that appreciates our hardwork and...

I am not a fan of reviewing samples that consumers submit to us. There is no QC and no way of knowing if the product has been damaged or modified by the user whether willingly or unwillingly. I also don't like taking the risk of us damaging an owners product just so we can review it. Our...

Just how do we "have an income from a review"? An idiotic request based on someone with zero experience running an online magazine or any for profit business for that matter. You want us to assume ALL the expense and risks of buying and selling products so we can review them while you reap the...

James is one of the most pragmatic reviewers out there and it has actually ruffled some feathers with manufacturers as a result. It doesn't take a lot of effort to see how critical James was with performance aspects and marketing claims of this speaker. Being overly negative to impress readers...

Expecting companies to not aspire to higher end and higher cost design options is a very narrow view. The Evolution bookshelf is meant to compliment the rest of the series. It uses the same tweeter and woofer designs so I'm at a loss on what your problem is with that other than nomenclature.

You can say the same thing about forum opinions and anything for that matter. Reviews are a guide to help you decide what's right for your needs. SVS has a generous return policy to help you make the decision in your own listening space.

SVS has a more affordable line of speakers if these are out of your budget. They also have a bookshelf version in this series which you could have seen for yourself if you went to their website instead of making ASSumptions.

This Dirac ART situation is extremely complex in my system since I'm running fully active speakers for the front LCR's and a separate infrasonic sub. The infrasonic bass feature of DIRAC ART is NOT working properly and is still employing a HPF on my main channels at 20Hz. Dirac ART also...
