I'd like to keep this thread focused on the 2700 receiver as per our forum policy for review threads but to answer your question, the 2700 amp section is clearly better than the 82 as per our test results. Whether or not it will be audible with your speakers/room is something you will have to...

The false assumptions flying around in this thread are pretty amazing. If you examine their ratings a bit closer you will note their power figures are rated at 0.04% THD + N which is WELL below clipping. Based on the LARGE power supply in this amp, the output devices they are using (all...

Hi Guys. J Clarke works from a remote office and doesn't have the luxury of the 100k+ test gear hosted at the Audioholics Showcase Center. As you could imagine, it’s not a feasible goal to bench test every piece of gear we review. Our goal is to provide more reviews as the alternative...

Too bad, they made great speakers and I've been a fan since my college days working at a local hifi shop that carried them.

John; First off take a deep breath and relax. I was joking with you and playing devils advocate. Secondly; surely you realize there is a lot more to Audioholics than just cables and this forum wasn't founded on that premise at all as you elude to. As for our hard line stance. I am not...

John; So what I gather from your last few posts: you can't simulate it with typical software packages used by Engineers for decades to design the most sophisticated circuits and electronis you can't measure it with typical engineering test gear (Audio Analyzer, Impedance Analyzer, TIM, etc...

Its a bit of a risk but if you don't care about the lastest and greatest, try picking up a used older flagship receiver such as: Yamaha RX-Z1 Denon AVR-5803 Marantz SR-18 You won't beat the amp sections in these receivers for under $1k and they decode DD/DTS, have THX certification, and...

That's because this issue NEVER does occur in real life. I have set up countless systems single wired and achieved perfect stereo imaging. Not once have I heard a phase shift b/c of a cable! I have a feeling Jneutron is having some fun with all of us here. Good joke my friend :D

I believe this works for new customers as well. Buy their existing processor now, and upgrade to newer stuff later.

This is a new feature we implemented thanks to some problematic posters editing and/or deleting posts a year after they orginiated them and dismantling threads :mad:

Um sticking a chair in the room will have a more profound effect on system frequency and amplitude response :D Seriously when any installer worth his/her salt calibrates a system, they do so on a per channel basis first with an accurate SPL meter, and then with an RTA. Any good processor...

Yes using identical cables for biwiring: capacitance will be 2 x Inductance will be 1/2 to 1/4 depending on coupling resistance will be 1/2 So now you run the risk of running a highly capacitive cable when biwired and causing an amp instability :D

John; I don't argue your math, just your premise. Follow me on these points please: 1. You will NEVER have the same current draw on the tweet as you will the woof. More likely it will be a 1:10 (tweet:woof) ratio. Thus your assumptions about equal current to both wires is leading to a...

John; You are still assuming equal current magnitudes to HP and LP portions of the speaker. This doesn't happen. You also assume purely resistive loading (for simplicity) but this does affect power dissipation estimates and in this case I believe you scenario makes them worse off than...

Acoustics in Large vs Small rooms are completely different animals. You don't follow the same rules for both. The same applies for equipment usage as well. I forgot you deal mostly in large venues for sound reinforcement and don't delve much into the home theater realm.

John; It's more expensive and space consuming to run biwire pairs of equal gauge vs mono wire of 3AWG lower than the biwire pair. It's also way more practical to run a single wire to each speaker, especially surrounds. Regarding my last comment about folding back to the amp, I was...

All; My review is completed and in peer review as we speak. This should go live by middle of next week! Stay tuned...

Regardless of what "Errors" a mono wire make compared to biwire, the error translates back to one common amp and gets washed out. John, until you can actually prove audibility and show real world measurable differences in an actual system (real amp + real cable + real speakers), I maintain...
