I'd lean towards the Denon 4308CI or Yamaha RX-Z7 even though its not on your list. The Z7 is the most impressive receiver I have tested this year by far!

For a few hundred more, I think the Yamaha RX-Z7 is a better product from a performance and feature standpoint. I'd also imagine the RX-V3900 is nearly as good as the Z7 for less money than the SC-07. There are some that prefer the simplicity of the Pioneer and the "signature sound" of the ICE...

I find it ironic that a thread topic like this gets more feedback and attention than a flagship display or loudspeaker review. :rolleyes:

its either a spoof or a video game. Its too noisey and too easy to shoot down, plus it can't carry any serious armorment. I am pretty familiar with Lockheed Martin military equipment as I've been in the defense industry and this doesn't seem like something they would do. Besides, for missle...

Wow I need to start paying more attention to this. As for the lazy garbage men stories, I initially had similar issues when I first moved into this neighborhood but after the first xmas that I tipped my guys they literally bend over backwards now. I throw crates, yard trash, speaker boxes...

Not unless you can update the Pioneer with that specific mic's calibration file and also match the preamp drive level. Denon is the only one I know that allows for external mics other than the factory one that ships with the receiver.

Hmm, I didn't see it as an option and I sent this review to Pioneer for tech peer prior to publishing and they didn't say anything of the sort.

Wow at those prices, that system beats our $3500 Recommended Systems Guide. I wish it would stay at those prices all year round :rolleyes: Good luck with the setup and I hope he likes it.

You mean like these? http://www.audioholics.com/news/trade-show-coverage/2006-consumer-electronics-show-ces/ces-2006-blunders-deceptions-and-other-goofs

Wow I didn't realize so many people resent their garbage men. :rolleyes:

If you're happy with its performance, why change it? Bench tests are usually much harder than real world test conditions. The current protection circuit on the Integra tripped during ACD test which isn't a very realistic test anyways. That is a really good receiver as well and in real...

Without a precondition filter, I could not accurately do an FFT distortion analysis for the reasons stated in my review. The inability of this receiver to drive a 4 ohm load continuously at full bandwidth is independent of this issue and a result of one or all three reasons I stated in the...

Trust me, public servants see little of that money. These guys earn it!

pangritt and esross both have the same IP address. So unless you are cubical buddies sharing the same IP adddress, please don't post under multiple monikers. This is against our forum rules which will result in both accounts being permanently banned. thanks. As far as I know Mr. Lee has a...

It's that time of year again where we should all remember the ones that work hard for us but aren't always appreciated. My wife put $20/ea for our two garbage men in an envelope attached to our trash can today. I watched from the window at their reaction and they were estatic. Sadly so few of...

Peter welcome to our forums and we are certainly happy for you to participate here. I do have one question: Do you work for Monster Cable or for the Social Security Administration or both? I feel its important that you disclose this since it seems you are speaking on behalf of Monster...

I suggest ALWAYS referring to them as "Monster Cable" and NOT "Monster", else you help legitimize their brand one day filing for a Famous trademark on the word "Monster".

its not "strange" as much of it being a relatively new brand with limited distribution. there are other reviews: http://hometheater.about.com/od/loudspeakerreviews/gr/empreviewshor.htm and on other sites like Ultimate AV: http://www.ultimateavmag.com/speakersystems/808emp/ there are...

That's a pretty big room and the open layout is a problem for bass. You need at least 2 subs to better cope with this. The EMP system is more catered towards music than movies. You may want to instead consider a high efficient system from the likes of Klipsch. The audio fidelity won't be as...

I'ts actually a stupidly brilliant deal. Its stupid b/c your getting these speakers at a loss to the manufacturer. It's brilliant b/c its a marketing tactic for them to get market penetration without having to launch a massive ad campaign. This deal ends at the end of the month. For...
