    MartinLogan XT F100 Floorstanding Speaker Review!

    That's the only statement I can agree with in your soap box rant. Merry Christmas. Don't fry any receivers watching the holiday classics.

    MartinLogan XT F100 Floorstanding Speaker Review!

    This is an example an armchair post with little to no actual field experience. Most people buying these speakers aren't using cheap AVRs with poor thermal management. I know two very large MartinLogan dealers that pair this series with Anthem electronics which are stable enough to drive a fork...

    MartinLogan XT F100 Floorstanding Speaker Review!

    I jokingly say that to everyone, including myself when I make assumptions without knowing all the facts. TLS Guy doesn't strike me as someone that can't take a joke.

    Marantz AV 10 15.4CH AV Processor Bench Test Results!

    I don't honestly know how to do that. The bumper is obnoxiously loud and I likely will have someone redesign it. Sorry LOL

    MartinLogan XT F100 Floorstanding Speaker Review!

    yea agreed. Most measurements done on loudspeakers are never done to the point to see how they "misbehave". It's why I always prefer speakers with way more dynamic range than I tend to use in my listening space. I personally feel a speaker that is more effortless at very high SPL tends to also...

    MartinLogan XT F100 Floorstanding Speaker Review!

    The problem with making ASSumptions on how a speaker sounds solely on measurements without actually hearing them can lead one to believe listening tests aren't even needed. Just buy with a graph. I spoke with Dan Roemer of Perlisten about this topic. It's fairly easy to make a speaker produce...

    Marantz AV 10 15.4CH AV Processor Bench Test Results!

    If your using an analog source than digitizing it to engage the DSU, then yes it can very well sound different. I would always tell people use the DSU for digital sources only. The ADCs in most consumer gear tends to be subpar.

    Marantz AV 10 15.4CH AV Processor Bench Test Results!

    The analog bypass issue was thoroughly addressed by top brass at D&M last night on our livestream. Any D&M product with pure direct feature has a true analog bypass. This is how it's always been in my 20+ years of testing their products. https://www.youtube.com/live/yE_k_vzb83A?si=-TOeAecudrX9g5pv

    To LFE +MAIN or not

    LFE+ Main does NOT route LFE to your mains. It just copies bass from the mains to the sub channel(s). If you've got good integration of the mains set large with the subs, then use LFE+Main. You do get a doubling of bass at common frequencies but Audyssey, if it's working correctly, should...
