Vintage JBL enthusiasts know what a jewel the L100 speakers, even 50 years after their inception. In fact, according to Harman, they're among the all time best selling speakers from JBL. Harman just announced an update to this legendary design with completely new modernized drivers and crossover...

The same critics loved Star Trek Into Lameness too.

It's a stupid rating they started doing with Atmos receivers with 1CH driven at 10% THD+N at 6 ohms as you can see in my AVR-X5200W: http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/denon-avr-x5200w/measurements It's confusing, misleading and should be eliminated or at least ignored IMO.

Actually if multi-sub is properly implemented and reduces seat-seat variances, then EQ can be a VERY effective tool that will help all seats to reduce modal issues and SOMETIMES fix minor nulls. See:http://www.audioholics.com/home-theater-calibration/bass-optimization-for-home-theater...

Very true. Just like with Star Trek Discovery, all of the characters in the Disney Star Wars movies are unrememberable. I thought it was just me showing my age and diminished short term memory. But, it's the fact that both of these franchises lack character development and synergy with each...

The world's first 13.2CH Immersive Surround Receiver is what Denon is calling their new AVR-X8500H. This 51lbs monster is the king of all AV receivers at CES 2018 as we don't know of any other product that supports ALL 3 immersive surround formats, 3 pairs of height channels, with a HDMI 2.1...

Sound United is the entity that owns these brands. I assume the engineering staff for each brand is still self contained similar to how Harman engineers are still with Harman despite being bought out by Samsung. I do have a conference call planned after CES to find out more about the Sound...

Yes simply placing an Atmos speaker on top of an ear level companion speaker has a lot of problems in both localization and in a poor ability to reflect the sound without it scattering too much prior and/or blurring the sound of the companion speaker. Getting it above ear level will help, but...

Sound United LLC, parent company to Denon, Marantz, Polk Audio, Definitive Technology, Polk BOOM, HEOS, and Boston Acoustics, today announced it has acquired Classé Audio, a leading maker of high-performance music and theater components. Classé Audio will join the Sound United family of brands...

You have to do the very same thing with the new Star Trek movies and Star Trek Discovery (STD) show as well ;)

Honestly you're asking a lot for a soundbar to have HDMI and sound quality that will significantly better your TV for under $200. Your best bet is to buy used.

If you are looking for a price friendly desktop or surround loudspeaker with an audiophile RAAL tweeter, Zapf audio woofer and superb crossover network than look no further than the Mini Philharmonitor from Dennis Murphy and Philharmonic Audio. The Mini Philharmonitor is a relatively new...

With Disney soon to own a majority of Fox TV and film Studios, the stars may have just aligned for the creation of the most powerful media conglomerate ever created. We also have plenty of possible new story lines to look forward to. Will mutants join the Marvel cinematic universe? What will the...

For those of you looking for a premiere in-wall sub, JL Audio released their IWS-SYS-108 and IWS-SYS-208. The newest models from JL Audio have a very small grille opening that will please customers looking for a visually unobtrusive solution while still capable of delivering true JL Audio...

Priorities. I just bought a BMW M240i ;)

2017 marked the year when smart devices infiltrated home theater and Ultra HD became more attainable. As if AV receivers didn't do enough already, now they come armed with Alexa Skill, music media streaming and the latest in HD immersive audio and video support. We selected the best speakers, AV...

All good points Rich. Also the UDP LPF is only 12 dB/Oct so you don't really want to go much higher than 80Hz otherwise the bass will be more easily localized. You can bypass the bass management all together and just use the LPF of your subwoofer, assuming it has one, and your other speakers can...

You can connect a volt meter to the analog preout, use a signal generator on one of the inputs, turn the volume up and read the RMS Voltage. You really need an Oscope to see if it's clipping but if you turn the level up on the receiver and the output voltage stops increasing, then it's likely...
