    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    I just scanned the thread and notice you're having QC issues with your RBH speakers. You should definitely be working directly with either your dealer or RBH (whomever you bought them from) to replace them rather than repair them. Good luck to you as this is certainly not the norm for the brand...

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    Make sure your receiver has a separate LFE crossover setting otherwise it's possible you can truncate the LFE channel by setting the LPF on the mains below 80Hz. Depending on which Yamaha you have, there should be a separate setting.

    "Caravan"... What To Do?

    The Ferengi never committed mass genocide against their own people. They actually considered 21 century humans as savage ;)

    My depression I've been dealing with.

    Thank you Ryan. I briefly tried Latuda but it made my already bad sinusitis a lot worse so I stopped it after 3 days. It also gave me hot flashes. Keep on going man. Know that people care for you and you can make a difference.

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    This is why for 90% of installs, it's best to run satellite speakers all around, multi-sub and 80Hz crossover. It really is the easiest thing to setup and understand for most consumers. Integrating tower speakers with subs is very tricky business.

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    I've been petitioning Denon and Yamaha for years. No luck. If you want that, you will have to goto products from Storm Audio, DataSAT and Emotiva (they listen). Sucks but it took me years to get Yamaha to change their 90Hz crossover for bass management. Maybe some day....

    My depression I've been dealing with.

    Ryan; I too have been struggling with depression. It can at times be debilitating as I lose all motivation to work and sometimes even the affections of my family and kids feel like nothing. I can only advise you to seek help like I've been doing. Talk therapy works and possible meds may be...

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    Double bass simply sends the main front speakers bass to the sub but the LFE does NOT get rerouted to the mains unless you turn the sub channel off. As far as I know, only custom processors like Datasat, Storm Audio and Emotiva give options to route LFE to the mains and to the subwoofer...

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    Really, you're going you have listeners place their head in a prefixed cavity? LOL. I've seen Geddes take on multi-sub and agree with some aspects of it but I do find some of his logic not too palatable. I do agree with the benefits of true fullrange towers as bass sources in a multi-sub...

    With Oppo Digital going out of business, it was only a matter of time before another manufacturer would build an upscale UHD Blu-ray player to fill the void for players of this caliber. Does the new Pioneer UDP-LX500 4K UHD Universal Blu-ray player have what it takes to accomplish that...

    Yamaha CX-A5200 and MX-A5200

    BC the japanese stuff typically does a lot more. American processors are often lacking in features and sometimes in performance. The AVP as a preamp/processor produced some of the best test bench results I've ever measured. If only they would have refreshed that unit with immersive surround...

    Does Your UHDTV Really Do HDR?

    Before you go out and buy a new 4K/UHD TV, beware! Even though a TV may say 4K/UHD, it could be missing a critical feature, preventing you from getting the most from UltraHD content: High Dynamic Range or HDR. Believe it or not, not all 4K/UHD TVs support HDR. Therefore, let's look at why HDR...
