Guys I was just told by Outlaw that they are running a Fathers Day sale for $579 FREE Shipping on this sub. That's one heck of a deal and a great gift for ALL dads :)

Great post please share the other research on audible distortion you've found. We are actually working on an article regarding perceived distortion in speakers/subs so I'd like to see this info. The problem with distortion tests I'm seeing now is the simple distortion sweeps done at the NRC...

Soundstage only does a portion of what Floyd talks about in this article. Also NOBODY is properly measuring loudspeaker distortion and correlating it to what we hear. CEA 2010 testing is the closest thing but it's being used primarily for subwoofers. We have quite a way to go but the Harman...

I have 2 business machines here with notices for Windows 10 upgrade. I'm also skeptical about doing this as I will be crippled if the upgrade hoses my computers. Also, I'm still running Office 2007. Is it even compatible with Windows 10?

Accurately measuring loudspeaker performance is pretty much a universal problem among most loudspeaker manufacturers and ALL AV review publications. Harman on the other hand under the guidance of Dr. Floyd Toole and Sean Olive have developed a purely scientific methodology that actually allows...

As soon as you mentioned a cable causing an amp to go unstable, I thought of Goertz. Sandwiching flat conductors results in very low inductance at the expense of very high capacitance. Not a good idea. I did measure and write about this cable over a decade ago...

Outlaw Audio decided that it was time to evaluate their line of high performance subwoofers and wondered what could be done to design a better product. After a year of research and design the new Ultra-X12 Subwoofer was released. By combining the best that their LFM1-EX and LFM-1 Plus...

The EMPs are a good overall sounding speaker that play very loud and clean but they don't have much bass below 50Hz. Coupled with a nice sub, you will get fullrange sound so it's a good investment to get that sub when you can.

The R55s are relatively easy load to drive. Save your money, get the S501 and add a sub down the road to increase bass extension below 50Hz. A small ported 10" sub will really do wonders to this system more so than a beefier amp.

In our recently added YouTube video we discuss room acoustics and the importance of balancing the sound in your room to get the best possible performance from your speakers. Over treating can make your listening space sound too dead and take the life out of the room. Too little treatment can...

I like it. You may be on to something. BTW we just put up a very basic video on Room Acoustics and plugged a certain book you may be familiar with. Have a look when you can.

No No store I know of will go for such an arrangement of loaning a brand new pair of speakers to a review magazine and then taking them back as Bstock to sell to their customers at a significantly reduced price. It's also not such a bad thing that a manufacturer thoroughly tests a product...

There is some cause for concern that manufacturers can cherry pick review samples. It's happened in the past. However your dillusional to think it's economically feasible for review magazines to buy products to review to elimitate the possibility of receiving golden units.

We uncovered an audio myth on our YouTube channel I didn’t even know was being perpetuated by some esoteric amplifier companies. Apparently there is a belief that designing an amplifier to be too stable and protected to prevent damage or fire during misuse or short circuiting will result in...

If I recall correctly Infinity Prelude MTS was a high ranking speaker for its time and perhaps some of the best stuff Infinity has made to date.

Floyd; I think we can make an exception about following a strict protocol when testing wines. What is more important is the people you share it with and the memories forged or sometimes forgotten if it was a really good night ;)

Floyd; Many thanks for chiming in on our forum. I updated your forum title and also upped your post count so you can now add links.

I had that combo and miss it! The 3090 is so smooth and warm sounding. Good o'le days. Enjoy.
