LOL good one. I do take care of my reference gear for sure.

Guys; I'm selling my reference CX-A5100 11CH Atmos/DTS:X Prepro and 150wpc x 11CH MX-A5000 amplifier. Retail for both units is a bit over $5k. I'm asking $3k shipped (USA only). These units are in mint condition and I still have all of the boxes, paper work, remote, mic, etc. See my review...

Guys don't comment without pics. It's a requirement.

So I created a challenge on our latest YouTube stream tonight when reviewing budget $200/pair tower speakers. We want to see the deals you've gotten on inexpensive but good speakers. They can be new, used, second-hand, closeouts, etc. Please include photos, descriptions, price and how they...

It was stupid TBH. Based on this experience, and the fact I haven't had a single Emotiva product last more than 5 years that I've owned, it saddens me to say that I won't be reviewing or recommending their gear anymore on this website. I hope they re-evaluate their out of warranty service to...

Hugo is making a killing selling real estate. Audio just isn't profitable enough, sadly.

I know this was a loooooooooooong interview, and hard to listen to. I told Shane next time we do these, we set a timer for 10 min. Shane has looked at Kevlar drivers as well. I probably should have brought it up. Kevlar is an overrated material for driver materials IMO. Never really the best...

That is a really important concern in driver design. Resonance control is everything.

Great deal, here is a direct link that tags us: https://www.amazon.com/Denon-AVR-X3600H-Automation-Integration-Monitoring/dp/B07RR6WQBW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?keywords=denon+avr-x3600h&qid=1563422803&s=gateway&sr=8-3&linkCode=sl1&tag=audioholics-20&linkId=2410e2544176ec7560125efeaaaaba0d&language=en_US

WE did a live stream tonight about this topic:

Yea but I spent years rooting for the little guy, being the beta tester, debugger. It's not all roses. I was happy to dump my Aragon Soundstage SSP for a Denon AVR-5803.

LOL it's one of the reasons I stick with the big brands for pre/pros. Hate dealing with bugs or delays to get features enabled.

It sounds like Emotiva has their work cut out for them in updating their code to allow cross mixing without breaking other stuff in the process. The President of Auro-3D reached out to me to let me know they were also in alliance with DTS on lifting this restriction so kudos to both of them...

Last year we reported on Dolby restricting upmixing of non-native content through their DSU. This had the potential of restricting consumer choices for upmixing content through competitor upmixers such as DTS Neural:X or Auro-matic. Apparently enough backlash was felt from licensee partners and...

Tonight at 10pm EST, we release a live premier YT interview with Shane Rich from RBH Sound answering the question: Do Exotic Materials Affect the Sound of Loudspeakers? We will be available via live chat to answer questions/feedback. Don't miss it!

In early 2018 we put our two cents in on the benefits of Dirac Live as a means of offering top of the line room correction for both 2 channel and 8 channel systems. Dirac has now been teasing a bass management version since CES Las Vegas in February of this year. This week Dirac formally...

I also haven't seen any full bandwidth power tests so I remain skeptical. The fact that all of the science guys at Harman still use Levinson amps in their DBT and NOT Crown speaks volumes. The Crown amp appears to be an unbeatable value but is best used for it's intent, PA applications, NOT...

Uhh not quite. An amp that digitizes the input and puts a brickwall at 20kHz? Not to mention is Class D so how it sounds/performs will be far more load dependent than a linear amp. These measurements won't have me selling any of my amplifiers to replace with this...

The Classe CT-2300 is one of the best sounding and best measuring amplifiers I've reviewed to date. And, it's built to last! see: https://www.audioholics.com/amplifier-reviews/classe-ct-2300

I don't even recall saying fully balanced differential amps have no audible improvement and that's an agnostic design topology to whatever amplifier class the design is. The very best designed amplifiers are fully differential and balanced but just bc an amplifier is designed with a differential...
