    The Apple Watch line of wearables, including the Apple Watch Sport is like all things from Apple. What the Apple Watch can do, it does very well, and does so with a slick interface including new gesturing and haptic feedback. However, there are enough drawbacks to make the watch feel more like a...

    EMPTek MC Series

    I think they are trying to clear inventory of the MC line or they are slowly listing all of their products online for direct sale in a way that is not threatening to their dealers.

    Power Centers ... a hoax or not? Have to give my away ... replace or not?

    True but surges and over/under voltage can be helped with a good device. Usually the devices that protect against lightening only do so one time then its time to replace the MOVs. Hum can be eliminated by tying all of your chassis grounds together at a common pt such as the power conditioner...

    Power Centers ... a hoax or not? Have to give my away ... replace or not?

    If you open the owners manual of a Monster Power / Surge Supressor it tells the consumer to unplug their product during a lightening storm. That doesn't give me great confidence that the product will protect your equipment under those circumstances. I'd recommend picking a product that is...

    We have membership services in the form of ebooks and soon to be webinars. It's not a very profitable business model for us and its doubtful there will be enough people willing to pay a premium for tech / calibration info. Additionally, restricting content for paid membership severely hinders...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    I'm not sure why you keep repeating this point. Most of our loudspeaker reviews (especially the ones I do) have internal pics of product and plenty of them. Also we did work diligently to devise a loudspeaker measurement standard that the industry could adopt but its very difficult to get...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    I'd love to have more reviews with full compliment of measurements but it's not always practical. The latest example being Josh's review of the XTZ sub which is taking almost 6 months to come to fruition. Most peeps writing for us have other jobs and commitments and it takes time to do...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    While I understand your concerns, its important understand the bigger picture which I hope to outline below: Manufacturers don't like negative reviews. Blasting a product will usually ensure you NEVER get a review sample from that manufacturer again. Most consumers don't like negative reviews...

    How much distortion can we tolerate in subwoofers?

    Bass is the most physically demanding band for a home theater system to reproduce, so it will naturally be the region where distortion is the most prevalent. Those of us interested in higher fidelity sound would do well to understand the degree of which distortion in low frequencies can be heard...
