    Cadence CSX15 Mark II Subwoofer Review

    Most of our readers pay more attention to the analysis and subjective impressions more than just a final score. However, I asked Josh if he felt it was OK for me to bump the overall rating to a 3.0 given the modest price and your willingness to look into future product improvements and he felt...

    Fluance XL7F Floorstanding Loudspeaker Review

    The Fluance have more bass but the Infinity's have a more detailed top end. Both has pros/cons. I just finished a controlled blind test comparing the P363s and EMP E55tis and will include this in my Infinity review. Interesting results. All in all, for under $700/pr these 3 speakers...

    Cadence CSX15 Mark II Subwoofer Review

    I sent the full review to Cadence prior to publishing and they were fine with it. All the parts they used are good. They just need to hollow out that board divider between the amp and driver and tweak the limiter and it will be a class leading product in the sub $500 price bracket.

    Martin Logan Motion LX16 Bookshelf Speaker Review

    I did a detailed review of the Verus Booshelf speaker. Great little speaker but you need a sub if you want fullrange sound. see: Aperion Audio Verus Grand Bookshelf Speaker Review — Reviews and News from Audioholics

    Denon AVP-A1HDCI / POA-A1HDCI Review Support Thread

    I'm happy to report the firmware update on the AVP-A1HDCI has fixed the SACD bass issue. I tested it on multi-SACD and bass was great. I tested it on 2CH SACD (left channel only as my DVD-A1UDCI seems to not want to produce audio from the right channel when playing 2CH SACD since I got it back...

    Identifying Legitimately High Fidelity Loudspeaker: The Drivers

    Every major loudspeaker engineer that has peer reviewed this article have all agreed that you typically want to crossover a tweeter one octave above Fs. Using a shallow horn does add efficiency, but it doesn't change Fs so you would still have to cross it over pretty close to the same frequency...

    Infinity 362's $200/PAIR! Frys.

    I am in the process of reviewing these speakers (P363s) right now. If you can find them new from a reputable dealer for $200/pr, RUN don't walk to buy them. At their list price of around $760/pr there are other options but at $200/pr NOTHING can come event remotely close in a floorstanding...

    EMPtek ES1010i Subwoofer Review

    If you use the "LFE" input on the sub, YES it bypasses the internal crossover and allows the sub to play fullrange. It's recommended to use this input when connected to an A/V receiver with bass management.

    Yes. Possibly but your splitting hairs. I suggest you look at the AWG tables on line between stranded and unstranded cable. Wire Gauges The AWG table below is for a single, solid, round conductor. Because of the small gaps between the strands in a stranded wire, a stranded wire with the...
