Not sure about the drivers but that tweet looks like the old Infinity poly cell design. Tom is publishing a TST2 tower review tomorrow which I believe are similar to a Sapphire speaker system from awhile back.

I measured less than .5dB drop running my FIOS service into one of my H15s. Its worth it IMO.

Honestly I am not sure anymore. Yamaha sent me a 2nd RX-Z7 and it has the same video problem as the first. I also tested it on a different display to rule out my Samsung. This will now have to be elevated further with Yamaha engineering in Japan. Stay tuned....

they are brand new. looks like they are phasing out the silver colored models so the Audioholics store scooped up a truck load of them :D

That's unusual. I had a few PC based power conditioners go bad from them on me and they were quick to replace them. Try this contact: Timothy.Gilbert@apcc.com |((office): 800-890-4272 Ext. 5360

I just got the 2nd test sample in. If all goes well, my review should be live towards the end of next week.

I have to say this is an insane deal. I bought an H15 for my parents whom are always paranoid their equipment will fry in our next Florida lightening storm. I've been using H15s, S15s and S20s in my reference systems and love them!

Its Velodyne.

tSc does some of their own design work such as the TSAT system I just finished reviewing and will post tomorrow. But many of their designs are open tooled in china and you would be surprised how many speaker brands run on the same lines! If you are thinking about getting the MB Quarts...

Seriously guys, get out and date. No chat rooms :rolleyes:

I agree if Absolute Sound hasn't reviewed a product, then it can't be that good. Quite frankly we simply don't have orgasms over audio products like some of the esoteric mags tend to no matter how good the products are :rolleyes:

Yamaha is sending me a replacement unit. I will also test the bad unit on another display to rule out a Samsung/Yamaha compatibility issue. Interesting that its a function of resolution for you and your lines are horizontal while mine are vertical. Worst case scenario, Crutchfield will...

Wii is a blast if you have children. Even my 21 mo old loves watching us bowl or duck hunting. My personal favorite is shooting pool since I don't have space in any spare rooms to put a full sized pool table, this is the closest I can come to playing pool at home. :D

no the amps never turn off. In preamp mode you can assign 4 channels of amps to Zones 2 and/or 3.

Try leaving PReP on and toggle the input. Then while watching a DVD, give it a few minutes and see if they appear. You have to be really close to the Display to see them. Try pausing the DVD on a darkish scene and gaze at the screen for a minute or two.

Hmm my display is also a Samsung. I didn't see these lines when I used my Epson projector. I wonder if its a Yamaha/Samsung issue. I will relay this to Yamaha, thanks. Also, please verify after you see the blue lines that simply toggling on/off PReP makes them go away, but later replaces...

Wow its truly awesome that both sides have settled amicably before more resources and ill feelings persisted. It goes to show you the influence our readers and the reach of the internet has :D

EMP is made by RBH and I believe they carry the same warranty. They are not a white van company, else their products wouldn't be sold thru the Audioholics E-store. They should list warranty info on their website and thanks for noticing that.

Yes I always measure amps the same way unless otherwise noted. Damping factor is a nebulous # beyond a certain range. Certainly a measure of 80 across an entire bandwidth into an 8 or 4 ohm load at full power usually means the amplifier output impedance is low enough to behave well under a...

No, it has to do with what I wrote in the review. Most magazines, especially Ultimate A/V, do instantaneous power vs distortion tests at 1kHz where I do continuous full bandwidth tests in accordance to FTC. The FTC way is much harder and more realistic measure of how much power an amp can...
