A fellow named Chris Brown won this player and it was announced months ago on our Facebook page.

TAM, I found the statement and changed it to: This is lower than the vast majority of so-called “full range” speakers can play on their own without the aid of a subwoofer. The lowest note on a 4 string electric bass, which is the lowest musical note in most popular music, is low E at 42Hz...

Or it's a testament to having a speaker that can deliver TRUE Fullrange sound with NO compression at output levels that can exceed even the most demanding listening environment. Until you hear a speaker like this, you just won't get it. It's like trying to explain the driving experience of a...

TAM did you find a typo/misstatement in the article that needs to be corrected? Let me know and I will edit. thx.

Actually most claims I've seen from people that believe ALL amplifiers sound the same are from those that claim "within linear range". I've never seen anyone qualify that statement based on amp topology. This is in fact a finer point that you are now bringing to the table. Modern speakers...

Here is a video Hugo and I shot discussing the heated topic of "Do All Amplifiers Sound the Same?"

I don't think this is a new idea. I believe many scientists believe the reason why Gravity is such a weak force is because it's stronger in other dimensions that we can't perceive which can also lead to the possiblity of a multi-verse. I think reality is stranger than fiction and once we...

Yes their veneers are quite spendy. I also have a similar colored EP400 in veneer finish. I will sell the W3 speakers with the EP400 for $450 + shipping as a package deal.

I have a pair of mint condition Axiom Audio W3 On-Wall speakers in custom veneer finish that are barely used. Retail is $530+/pr. These speakers have integrated back boxes. Here are the specs: M3 On-Wall Speakers | Axiom Audio Feel free to PM me with your shipping address if interested so...

Looks like you made some excellent choices. You may wish to wedge something in the back of your center channel to tilt the cabinet down a bit. Good luck and enjoy.

No unfortunately my pleasure reading is very limited these days. I am a bit removed from Astrophysics but I need to take more interest since my youngest daughter is expressing an interest in it. I try to keep up with the latest Cosmos and Wormhole shows on Discovery :) I really feel like we...

Very true though its much easier to analyze a piece of wire than all of the complex nuances of an amplifier and how it interacts with a loudspeaker. Quantum Mechanics still baffles me to this day despite my studies of it in college and now through the great educational experiences of the...

This is such wonderful feedback and I thank you for taking the time to write it. Testament like this is what makes our work so rewarding and it also lets manufacturers know just how beneficial a site like ours is for consumer research. Please post your system when you get a chance in our...

Your assessment makes a lot of sense. I probably could have been a bit more tactful in my responses but the whole DBT/Blind argument is often a point of contention for me. I see that term being abused or manipulated too often by manufacturers or consumers alike to make too many sweeping...

I never claimed all amplifiers sound different but that doesn't mean they all sound the same when not being overdriven. I have given you plenty of reasons including measurements, and personal experiences why amps can sound different even when operating at lowish steadystate power levels. My...

This is becoming tiresome. Like arguing with the Black Knight of Monty Python. Harman are strict followers of blind testing and will disagree with you. A Blind test literally means you CAN'T see or know the products tested in the room. I never proclaim to be as knowledgeable as Olive/Toole...

Massive power for transients. Yes I am a BIG believer of this. Most high power amps (with the exception of some shoddy Class D amps) have lots of output devices, lots of current capability and very low output impedance. They act more like an ideal voltage source than lower power amps...

Now you're playing with semantics regarding sighted vs blind. The listeners can still see the amps in the room so in the strictest sense, its sighted. They just can't identify which is playing. My assumption of your knowledge/experience is based on your prior statements and lack of...

Again you assume a speaker will only draw a fixed wattage. It doesn't. Amplifiers can and do current limit. If an amplifier output impedance is high, the resultant frequency response when driving a complex load impedance will vary compared to one that has a low output impedance. Even if both...

How the F*CK does it matter if an amp test is sighted or blind? If someone else is doing the switching, and its level matched, there is no way for the listener to know which amp is playing. It blows my mind how one can over generalize with little or no real world experience or analysis rather...
