Nope but what's +-5 years anyways :D

Since they killed off Kirk in Generations, it probably would have been too difficult to explain his resurrection among all the other stuff happening. Also its likely Shatner didn't sign a deal for it.

I was worried about this. Why can't they stop making scifi movies that either have a mad man bent on destroying the Earth or a single pilot must fly into a super structure to destroy it.

I am cautiously optimistic but as a Trekkie I don't expect this movie to feel very trekkie. I think its ridiculous they built this ship on Earth. The Romulan guy looks nothing like a real Romulan so not sure where they are going with that. I saw a scene where Kirk and crew jumped out of a...

I've spoken in great length about this with Dr. Floyd Toole. Even # of subs are easier to integrate into rectangular or square shaped rooms. I've done 3 subs in such rooms but it gets tricky. Of course in odd shapped rooms like my L shape reference room, all bets are off. It takes a lot of...

Correction to Article Editorial Note on A/V Receiver Market leader Comment (5/04/09) When this article was originally published, I stated that Denon has now become the market leader in A/V receiver sales. I have since then found that my source for this information was incorrect as Yamaha...

AccuDef: In point 2) I stated that full power for full bandwith was not necessary if it adversely affected the performance of a class D amplifier. What I meant was that full power for full bandwidth as defined by the FTC protocol was not relevant for a class D unit. If you look at page 6 of...

The whole killing Nathan and brainwashimng Sylar into thinking he's Nathan is just a bit too far fetched for me. Not that this show has any boundaries for reality. All they had to do was take Claire's blood and heal Nathan like they did for her step dad when he got shot in the eye. They...

Yes and No. Most pro amps are designed for high power but not necessarily high fidelity. They tend to be noiser than home theater amps especially ones using fans, and switching power supplies to make them lighter weight and less costly. There is more to an amplifier than power just like there...

I am right there with you. Hopefully over time as I get a chance to measure more of these amps, and do controlled listening comparisons, I can get a better picture of what is going on. So far I can tell you we can usually measure stuff we can't hear and we can usually hear stuff we can't...

I will be reviewing an ICE 1000ASP sometime soon once I get my hands on one, and assuming one of the clone manufacturers will be willing to send to me :) As for modifications to the 1000ASP module, very little can be done to them which was the point of my article that was obviously missed...

no, but I know how to interpret a data sheet. Also there is no such thing as RMS power ;)

Very similar to the 4 ohm rating at 1kHz and likely less at higher frequencies. Most speakers impedance magnitudes are above 2 ohms so it shouldn't be much of an issue unless you trying to drive a highly reactive ESL type speaker which B&O cautions against.

Paul; Wait till you see the article I am posting on Monday "Attack of the Clone Amplifiers". IT addresses your post exactly. There is very little that can be done to the ICE amp to improve upon it short of redoing the entire power supply which to date nobody has done b/c its so much easier to...

I am waiting for a bathroom channel so that when you must take a much needed break, you won't miss the action while you do your business. 11.1 seems pretty cool but I think 12.1 would be even better :D

Ironically the Seymour Ice Amps seem to be about the best value in town of the bunch as you will see in an up and coming article called "Attack of the Clone Amplifiers" coming to a Home Theater Publication near you :)

Chris I am not arguing that the ICE amp is a good amp and very dynamic. I do however think its misleading to call it a 1kwatt amp in the same breath as a traditional linear amp or even the Axiom Class D that can deliver that power continuously at full frequency. This reminds me of the car...
