A common question we often get asked by our readers is “which should I get,a bookshelf or floorstanding speaker?” There is no absolute answer as it really depends on many variables (ie. budget, listening habits, bass management, room size, aesthetics). We break this down for you in this...

Breakout from the 80s is one of their best IMO.

Floyd, I'm hoping Harman demos the M2s at CEDIA via two-channel so I can finally take a close listen. Why you still messing with antiquated tone controls? We have Automatic room EQ and I hear it's wonderful :)

Number 2 in a 4 part series, this is my favorite Spyro Gyra release (followed closely by Heart of the Night) of the 1990's. It didn't hurt that Love and Other Obsessions rose above a string of very pedestrian releases leading up to it. While the song selections are hit or miss (there are several...

Yamaha has just announced their new whole-house wireless audio ecosystem, called MusicCast. With MusicCast you get Sonos-like ease of use with a much broader and compatible set of products and sources. With support for high-resolution music and a cool and flexible cross-platform mobile app...

Fiio have pulled out all the stops to release their latest DAP – The Fiio X5 2nd Generation. Sporting a brushed metal chassis, an all-new amp combination and DSD support, the 2nd Generation device looks to be yet another solid device from the electronics giant. Unlike the iBasso DX90, the 2nd...

What the Apple Watch can do, it does very well, and does so with a slick interface including new gesturing and haptic feedback. However, there are enough drawbacks to make the watch feel more like a...

I fixed the link in the original post. Take a look.

Live Rooms vs Dead Rooms: Which are better? It depends on what you're doing!

A few key points about Auto-EQ and Equalization as excepted below. For Multiple Seats, Equalization Cannot: • Add or remove reflections • Change reverberation time • Reduce seat-to-seat variations in bass • Correct frequency dependent directivity in loudspeakers • Compensate for frequency...

This is the latest AES paper submission from Dr. Floyd Toole. It deals with the Measurement and Calibration of Sound Reproduction Systems. The following discussions will embrace both large and small venue sound systems: cinemas for public exhibitions, home theaters and stereo systems for...

I think they are trying to clear inventory of the MC line or they are slowly listing all of their products online for direct sale in a way that is not threatening to their dealers.

So confusing. RBH = EMP, EMP = RBH? :confused:

True but surges and over/under voltage can be helped with a good device. Usually the devices that protect against lightening only do so one time then its time to replace the MOVs. Hum can be eliminated by tying all of your chassis grounds together at a common pt such as the power conditioner...
