YPAO EQ results are fully editable via the OSD or preferably by logging into the receiver via a browser like I show in my CX-A5100 review:

The Mains will ONLY get LFE if you turn the subwoofer channel off which it sounds like you did. Keep the LFE at the 0dB position. If you feel the bass is too much for movies, you can adjust it down. Note this is NOT a level control however so it won't usually have a dramatic change in steady...

NAD website claims 2 two-channel amplifiers will allow you to do 7.1.4. I can email to confirm.

Flagship AV receivers are back with a vengeance for 2018. We like what we are seeing from the major brands including: Yamaha, Denon, Marantz, Pioneer, Onkyo and NAD. We took a look at the top models for each of these companies to compare features, power and HD audio and video performance...

I don't know the nature of how Control4 releases their press releases to BusinessWire. Their press release was editorialized by our writer so it's not a direct copy of the original content. This is something we've and other publications have been doing for years. If you don't like our editorial...

I haven't tested the SR8012 yet but I know all of the part upgrades Marantz did for this model and it looks impressive. I plan on starting the bench tests this week and if all goes well should install it for testing by end of next week. Stay tuned...

How good could a pair of $50 bookshelf speakers be? Monoprice tries to answer that question with their new MP-65RT speakers. To our knowledge, these are the least expensive speakers with a ribbon tweeter ever produced by a manufacturer. Here are the specs for the MP-65RT Speakers: 4" x...

Posting Press Releases is NOT considered paid content. Virtually every publication posts press releases for new products and this is NOT considered paid content FTC Article16 CFR Part 255 which we adhere to in all published content on this site. Control4 did NOT pay Audioholics to publish this...

Actually it's a de-press release, press release. Control4 did NOT pay anyone to write this content so I don't appreciate the insinuation.

I just got back from a 4 day intense Control4 Certification training. The system is very powerful but also very complex to set up. The advantages are: infinite flexibility, and bulletproof reliability (dependent on a stable network), the disadvantages are: dependent on certified installer to...

Smart home automation has come a long way from programming macros to execute simple commands to your home theater and associated lighting. With big players like Google and Amazon getting into the smart home game it's good to see Control4 showcasing what the professionals at home automation can...

After a tumultuous three-week trial, Spotify has changed its controversial anti-hate policy. The new policy still bans “hateful content” from the streaming service, but no longer penalizes artists who demonstrate “hateful conduct” in their personal and professional lives. The controversial R&B...

Ever since Onkyo’s purchase of Pioneer in 2015, it was just a matter of time before Pioneer introduced their foray into the midpriced / hi-end AV receiver arena with their Elite VSX-LX303. The 9.2 channel AV receiver is priced at $799 and, like Onkyo’s TX-NR787 supports and upmixes to DTS:X...

Everyone's favorite cable company we love to hate is looking to break new grounds in the audio world. Monster is selling its own Bitcoin-like cryptocurrency called Monster Money Tokens. Monster hopes to use the funds to develop a new e-commerce platform powered by blockchain technology...

I'm doing a full measurement report on the SR8012 for my review so stay tuned...

We took the new SR7012 9.2CH Marantz AV receivers for a test drive. It's among the first crop of receivers to offer Amazon Alexa voice control and AirPlay 2 support (via firmware update). Along with robust HDR support and the latest HDMI 2.0 specifications, the SR7012 is at home in both smart...

Another one bites the dust. Crowdfunded headphone startup Ossic closes its doors after raising $3.2 million from pre-orders that will never be fulfilled. Over 22,000 customers pre-paid for the Ossic X headphone, which promised 3D audio with built-in head-tracking and custom-tailored sound...

Unless the power consumption on the back of an AV receiver says "MAX power consumption", it's usually just a power consumption based on 1 or 2CH driven at full power with the remaining channels driven at 1/8th. The latter is likely the case in this instance based on the S&V test measurements.

Just saw it for the 1st time with the family. Ironman stole the show IMO. The movie was good but a bit too long and too much CGI as is the trend with most movies these days. I'm sorry but I can't stand Guardians of the Galaxy and Chris Pratt's character almost ruined the movie for me. MY...
