Thanks for your kind words Duke. However, I was NOT at AXPONA. James Larson covered the show for us.

Audiophiles at AXPONA would have been remiss not to be present when one of the decades-long leaders of the British manufacturing industry brought in their new flagship speaker. The Monitor Audio Platinum PL500 II Tower speaker system is a true statement piece of engineering excellence. This...

-3dB points are meaningless without SPL level and distortion. Anybody can tune a speaker to play very low, but in doing so you risk bottoming out the woofer and/or overdriving.

The AudioKinesis Bienville Main Modules speaker system is a balance between three important design goals: high sound quality, enormous dynamic range, and an agreeable appearance. Our demo at the 2016 AXPONA show proved these speakers met these goals in spades, especially with their effortless...

Electrostatic speakers have never been the most popular speaker design in high-fidelity audio, because they have traditionally had many disadvantages such as anemic bass output, poor reliability, difficult load to drive, and limited dynamic range. But, the Sanders Sound Model 10e ESL speakers...

There are two types of people in this world: those that drive Ferrari's those that wear Ferrari T-Shirts My Ferrari T-Shirt is a large ;)

Yea no doubt but RBH doesn't have the name clout of B&W. In high end, you charge what you can get away with based on perception.

You did a good thing with these cables. Twisting them together helps eliminate noise pickup and also keeps the conductors in close proximity to reduce inductance. You may want to tape the conductors all together every few feet to keep all of the conductors closely spaced together. see...

B&W Purchased by Silicon Valley Startup: Cheers or Tears? It's one of the most lopsided company acquisitions in recent history. An historic hi-fi speaker manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins with over 1000 employees was bought by a Silicon Valley startup with barely a website to its name. What's...

The brand new Endeavor Audio E-3 Mk2 speakers do not have as flashy appearance or exotic design as many of the other high-end speakers at the 2016 AXPONA show. What they do have is a simple form factor and great sound. The E-3 MK2 are a 4 driver, 3-way design employing a coherent...

A beautifully crafted 3-way tower with 33Hz extension from Salk Sound, the Song 3 looks to be quite a bargain. A papyrus fiber cone woofer, bamboo mid and RAAL tweeter all come together in the Song 3 for a sound which could match the quality of other speakers at AXPONA that were many times more...

In this digital age of convenience simplicity is a necessity, especially when it comes to A/V devices. Over 20 years ago there was a surge in remote controlled A/V devices that spawned the development of universal remotes. To this day universal remotes physical size remained pretty constant...

When we surveyed some of our neighbors' home theater systems, we discovered about 90% of them didn't even have a digital connection between their DVD players and receivers and 100% of them didn't even bother with level calibration or proper bass management setup. To say we were shocked is an...

I would suggest calling RBH as I am sure they will be willing to work something out with you. I still use my HP-2s on my digital piano with great results. The only major gripe I had was the clamping strength was too strong but you can bend them out if its a problem for you and I believe RBH is...

Looking for a new Atmos/DTS:X AV receiver? Yamaha is about to release some outstanding receivers to go along with many of their other fine AVRs. The RX-V481, RX-V581, RX-V681, and the RX-V781 will be released soon and will have to compete with many of the similar products available from the...

Agreed. It pisses me off when receiver/processor companies give you auto-EQ and a GEQ rather than an adjustable PEQ down to 20Hz. Yes passive treatments (even in the form of throw rugs and couches) are very necessary above bass frequencies especially in rooms with hard floors, and glass. I...

Yes EQ will flatten that peak and restore the decay time as well but only for one position unless you reduce the seat to seat variances by deploying multi-sub. Once you reduce the variances, then EQ will be effective for all the seats.

With the OE120IW, OmniMount has sought to bring together the best from full-motion, tilting, and low-profile wall mounts into a single package. Full-motion mounts are the most versatile. Tilting mounts blend versatility and aesthetics, and low-profile mounts, while lacking in adjustments, hold...
