I wholeheartedly disagree. This is an old stereotype that "separates" must be better which simply isn't true. The preamp sections in many of today's receivers such as the Yamaha RX-V2600, Denon AVR-2807,etc and up are top notch and give up nothing in performance when compared to dedicated...

Yes the 2600 would be my pick for best A/V processor under $3k, though some may prefer using a dedicated pre/pro from the same manufacturer as their amp to match them aesthetically. Also, the 2600 runs hot even in idle which is a consideration for those with limited rack space for venting it.

Actually its $4,177 for the system as configured and based on that price we have found them to be as good as the ratings indicate. This isn't sound reinforcement or a disco. These arent white van speakers with multiple 10" woofers thrown into a cheesy particle board cabinet to yield...

The 1266s will still work well even if they are placed 5 or 6 inches off the backwall. Any chance you can push them off the wall a bit? Otherwise, you may have to resort to stuffing them with BIG socks :D

You can't do that b/c the crossover for the 1266 is different. You can however upgrade the 1266's to 1266 SE/R's. You should call RBH and find out what is involved. Best case scenario its as simple as swapping out the drivers. Worst case scenario you have to change out the crossover and...

Actually they have a combination of poly fill and dacron insulation. The pic you are viewing was of just the cabinet with nothing in it as noted in the review.

Boost to Evolution Interesting article on proof of ancestor human skull: Skull Article

You obviously read the title of the article, but likely not its content, the references and endorsements by many pros in the industry as to why this happens. It is deliberate! I suggest reading the article in its entirety, examining the measurements and related links within the article...

Wow 13+ pages in a few days. I must admit I only skimmed this thread but see a few red flags. 1) The null around 50Hz is likely attributed to mic position relative to the subwoofer or another room anomaly. I'd advise you to swap the subs and retake the measurements, and/or do a quick...

I am not sure why you wouldn't follow the recommendation of the manufacturer. If they tell you the M80 won't work well in your room, believe them and go with a more appropriate model.

Great points! Thanks for the feedback.

Is the the surround version everyone is buying? I don't see DVD-A marked on it and it only has some of the tracks in DTS/DD 5.1 http://entertainment.circuitcity.com/Music/Album.aspx?p_id=P+++++4220&a_id=R+++820621&prodid=RPRW49976.2 If not, please provide a link to a place that sells...

I agree. I wish Superman would come and take all nukes of the world and throw them at the sun :D

Damn I didn't realize they were releasing this in DVD-A and I just bought the CD :( Regardless, this CD rocks and I think the sound quality is very good. My favorite track right now is H Gang. This CD has a very similar feel to Nightfly IMO.

Agreed. Two CD's I used to demo speakers with and still enjoy listening too are: Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Steely Dan - Aja Hearing Black Cow on a meaty amp with good speakers is so rewarding. And wanting to critically listen to Brothers in Arms in its entirety is a sign you have...

Thanks but I cant put a screen or projector system in that room. I just picked up the new Sony 50" LCD Display to hold me over for now.

I just bought the 37" version of this TV from Coscto for $1699 and love it! 8ms refresh rate, 1080p upconv, lots of tweaks for video in standard menus. This is really a nice set. The only negative is it has the worst speakers and remote which isn't an issue for me since I am using surround...
