Haha, I wish I could make these contests global but nobody wants the shipping expenses or dealing with customs :(

You're overthrowing this. I don't think ARC changes filter slopes. It just manipulates amplitude response and adjusts crossover points.

Ideally you want 12dB/oct HPF on the satellite speakers and 24dB/oct on the sub channel. If you're satellites already have 12db/oct slope acoustically, then they integrate properly with the sub at XOVER. In practice, these slopes work really well in most cases.

Guys; Google has been really damaging websites that don't pay for SEO with their algo updates. Most of the small sites like Audioholics have felt this impact. I'm looking to get our content out on social media platforms like REDDIT to help increase exposure. If anyone is willing to help out...

Going to a brick and mortar audio stores is becoming more difficult every year. However, even if you can't afford it, it's important to be blown away by awesome and out of budget audio systems at local audio trade shows. Not only do they sound amazing, but it gives you something to strive for in...

Breakthrough in Immersive Surround Sound right here, must try! https://youtube.com/shorts/_-aTSaOjfuc?feature=share

Imagine if you dropped an audioholic from the 1970s into today's world. Immersive audio and 8K TVs would be hard to believe back then. Today, their entire record album collection could easily fit into a device the size of a stick of chewing gum. What will the future of the AV world look like...

haha kind of you but they ship directly from Audio Advice. James Larson already has in a set for review so we will see how they perform soon enough. thanks and good luck.

Much of the best audiophile gear is made here in the United States but it is close to impossible to build these products without parts/chips/etc which are all made in China. If you don’t have a healthy reserve of them on hand – then good luck to you for making a living or keeping your company...

There is more to this story than meets the eye. Imagine your wife on public television confessing that she bangs your son's best friends for "therapy". That would be debilitating and humiliating for any man. Will laughed at the joke until his wife gave him a look. He's a defeated man and I...

If you properly place your height speakers and choose wide dispersion speakers, you shouldn't need to aim them. I typically install my top fronts + 20deg from MLP and my Top rears -20deg from MLP and I have flat and even dispersion across all my seats out to 20kHz. My back row suffers a bit but...

A great song is a powerful tool and can be interpreted many different and entertaining ways. Cover songs can be equally powerful, meaningful, and a creative tool for a performer. While you might not own the songwriting, what if you are running low in the creative department and need an avenue to...

The tower-style Monolith M-210 dual 10-inch subwoofer ($1,299.99) and M-212 dual 12-inch subwoofer ($1,799.99) provide double the power and double the woofers, without taking up double the floor space. These THX-Certified Ultra subwoofers deliver bass down to 16Hz in rooms of up to 3000 cubic...

agreed the new Yamaha model nomenclature gets me cross eyed like when you stare too long and their oversized volume knob. :)

Yamaha RX-V6A is their lower end units. I actually bench tested the RX-A6A and found measurable issues that Yamaha and others would have likely missed: https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/yamaha-rx-a6a It's an advantage to have an 8CH HDMI Audio Analyzer as I've found most 3rd...

The fact that you can design filters manually now is a big deal to me. The phone App was very difficult to use. I will soon be testing MultEQ-X on my Perlisten speaker system to see if it "improves" the sound of this system. What I most need help with is below 300Hz and confident this software...

All this proved to me is that Danny is good at making clever test that he controls to "convince" reviewers of his narrative. This Vinyl guy doesn't strike me as a technical person and the fact that he didn't have an independent party run the test makes this a nice anecdotal experience with no...

I put the latest generation of Anthem AV receivers, namely the MRX 740 and MRX 1140 models through my bench tests in this report. The MRX 740 retails for $2,899 and has 11 channels of processing with 7 channels of amplification (140wpc x5, 60wpc x2) while the MRX 1140 retails for $4,000 and has...

I dunno, they are opening up their software so you can set your own target curves and do full manual EQ for each channel. Seems like a win to me.
