Yes I've seen that but I wonder what the switch out time was during that process.

I have an 07 Acura TL Type S. All 3G TL's come standard with a 5.1 DVD-A system. Too bad no SACD though :(

Try out these old Commodore 64 favorites :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr1WEP12SF8&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-WbXLd1beA&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IO5bTdbXZAw&feature=related

good point. Years ago when I went to Sound Advice to audition speakers, they had them fed thru a switcher. At the time they always seemed to promote B&W over any other brand they carried. When I listened between a pair of B&Ws and Kefs, I preferred the former. Then I asked to remove the...

I'm really diggin this band now. I realize progressive rock of the 70s (ie. Genesis, Yes, etc) will never come again, but these guys and Riverside and a select few others are the closest thing. I hope they release this on DVD-A, or Blu-ray. I play the last 2 DVD-As from them in my car all...

I also firmly believe by placing multiple pairs of speakers side by side, you can cause excessive diffraction from adjacent baffles which could hamper the better speakers ability to image. I personally don't like to compare more than two pairs of speakers at a time for this reason and also b/c...

Oz; Don't get too hung up on driver material especially if the drivers perform comparibly. I heard both EMP and RBH versions and they sounded very similar to me and I discussed this in great detail with Shane. Regardless, those products are now being phased out not because of performance...

Oz the EMP and RBH versions of the TK towers were identical in terms of performance. Only slight cosmetic differences (including the color of the cones) existed to keep the products separate through different sales channels. While it may be true the TKs perform "better" than the new...

You know I am sorry I pulled a quick measurement before boxing these up and shipping them to Tom for review. This was a 1/2 meter in-room measurement and it wasn't at 1 watt. I wanted to verify that both speakers measured similarly and that there wasn't a wiring issue in the xover. It was not...

I didn't find the bass weak at all in my listening tests. In fact, I thought it was a bit too boosted in the 60-80Hz region. The nice thing is these speakers don't bottom out which is important at high listening levels with or without a sub. Aperion also makes very nice product with excellent...

Audioquest also slaps batteries on their cables that make no physical connection with the actual cable itself so one wonders if what they say has anything to do with provable science or if its based on Wild e Coyote physics :)

I can see how "First Look" in the page title and the First Look icon on the homepage next to the actual article could be confusing to people that these articles are in fact not reviews but "First Look" articles. Since we've been writing First Look articles for the last 3-4 years, I suppose...

Actually since the end of 1998 :eek:

The EMP Towers are 87dB SPL @ 1 watt/8ohms which is moderately efficient. A typical Klipsch speaker is anywhere between 5-6dB more efficient so a Klipsch speaker will play alot louder given the same wattage. However Klipsch speakers tend to have a lot more energy on the top end which some...

EMP products can also be purchased on their webste and distribution. EMP/RBH is not related to Audioholics in any way other than they advertise on the editorial site and sell product thru our online store. The same could be said about Yamaha, and any of our advertisers or any magazine that...

That's interesting since the 0/7.5IRE setting also affects HDMI output on my DVD-5910CI. If true, I am surprised Denon didn't tell me this and instead elevated it to Japan. I will go mess with the other setting and report back. Thanks. *Update* page 35 of the manual confirms your...

I pulled a quick 1/2 meter (1/12th octave) on-axis in-room measurement before I shipped my samples to Tom for review. See attached. They do have a little bass bump below 100Hz which attributes to their "warm" sound attribute. The midrange is surprisingly linear which is often not the case for...

This is an introductory price (dealer cost) they are offering to flood the market with fan boys :) I don't expect it will last long else nobody will make any money :eek:

Good to know as I feared the TKs top end would beat the new Impression series. Personally I thought the Impressions had a good amount of bass output for their size and price though a sub is a definate must for home theater usage of course.

I love hearing the comparison between the TK Towers and these new speakers. Tom Andry is doing a detailed review as we speak and has both speakers in his posession. The TKs probably still have an overall edge in performance but as Dave said, the Impressions are much nicer on the eyes and are...
