You will not see 48Gbps thru put on any gear in the foreseeable future. No 12-bit HDTV supports full 48Gbps, there are no commercial source devices capable of 48 Gbps, so your concern is a nothingburger.

Audiophile shows are important to the future of our hobby and the audiophile community can help just as much as the promoters of the shows themselves. What can audio companies do at trade shows to start bringing in a new generation of enthusiasts who likely will enjoy decades of good audio? Read...

The Arendal 1961s are definitely first-rate tower loudspeakers by any standard and all the more remarkable when one takes into account their reasonable $1,800/pair price and modest size. How did they measure up to our demanding review criteria and measurements? Our own Steve Feinstein (40+ year...

We always measure sensitivity of loudspeakers. Klipsch is the biggest offender of inflated #s. Harman isn't far behind them either especially when they use a 4 ohm tweeter in an 8 ohm speaker like the Primus line did.

This was confusing upon first glance but the reasons will become clear in my interview with the ML Engineers. The towers have more ability but were deliberately padded down for more smoothness. Stay tuned...

Yes and off camera of course. LOL

I wouldn't use 4ohm speakers on the 1140 height amps. Definitely get some external amplification from Monoprice or Anthem if you can swing it.

Here are my listening impressions of the F100. Matthew Poes is getting in the F200s to measure and review and I may request more units as well.

even a broken clock is right twice/day.

Complete waste of this receiver to not use at least 9 of the 15 internal amplifiers.

Now in their 4th generation, the Motion Series and Motion XT Series use newly-design waveguides to improve the performance of MartinLogan’s ‘Folded Motion’ AMT tweeters. All nine new speaker models boast at least 92 dB sensitivity, promising great things for home theater dynamics. The Motion...

The bigger centralized power supply will allow for better power in 2CH driven and especially dynamic power. I suspect this receiver will be the most powerful Denon has made since the AVR-5805.

By similar you mean no Dolby Atmos, DTSX, Auro 3D, 2 sub outs, no Dirac, no PC Audyssey, no Heos, no 8K support and only 9ch of amplification and a smaller power supply?

Your post makes no sense. 105wpc w 9CH driven from an AVR from a 15A outlet is pretty incredible. This amp can easily do 175wpc w 2ch driven into 8 ohm and almost 300wpc into 4 ohm, 2ch driven. The large power supply ensures large dynamic reserves for transients. I consider that a victory. Plus...

I just confirmed with Denon engineering that the AVR-A1H will do 70% (105wpc) with 9CH driven, 8 ohms clean. Factoring efficiency, that's about 1,400 watts power consumption True beast!

Absolutely waste of resources and time for us to review the integrated when I did a full test of the separates. Basically very similar product but will slightly less power.

Marantz is sending me the AV10 and AMP10 next week so I will be bench testing those. I may request an A1H sent to Matthew Poes which he can bench test for us and also test out the bass routing stuff they offer. Anthem wants us to bench test the AVM90. So many products, so little time. I wish I...
