    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    Agreed the car reviews are a bit ridiculous at times. Most people don't take their cars on tracks or even able to drive it to the limits. I know I wouldn't take my car on a track for fear of burning out the tires and brakes. Again this is why I really value practical subjective car reviews...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    We have membership services in the form of ebooks and soon to be webinars. It's not a very profitable business model for us and its doubtful there will be enough people willing to pay a premium for tech / calibration info. Additionally, restricting content for paid membership severely hinders...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    I'm not sure why you keep repeating this point. Most of our loudspeaker reviews (especially the ones I do) have internal pics of product and plenty of them. Also we did work diligently to devise a loudspeaker measurement standard that the industry could adopt but its very difficult to get...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    I'd love to have more reviews with full compliment of measurements but it's not always practical. The latest example being Josh's review of the XTZ sub which is taking almost 6 months to come to fruition. Most peeps writing for us have other jobs and commitments and it takes time to do...

    Speaker Reviews - Are They Adequates?

    While I understand your concerns, its important understand the bigger picture which I hope to outline below: Manufacturers don't like negative reviews. Blasting a product will usually ensure you NEVER get a review sample from that manufacturer again. Most consumers don't like negative reviews...

    How much distortion can we tolerate in subwoofers?

    Bass is the most physically demanding band for a home theater system to reproduce, so it will naturally be the region where distortion is the most prevalent. Those of us interested in higher fidelity sound would do well to understand the degree of which distortion in low frequencies can be heard...

    All Cerwin Vega 7.1 Surround with 4 subwoofers

    My first set of real speakers back in my high school days was a set of Cerwin Vega D-2s. I just loved the red surrounds on the woofers. I lusted for the D-9s but the 2s served me well for a # of years. I can still see the woofers moving to Sir Mix-Alot My Posse's on Broadway in my head ;)

    RSL, a boutique loudspeaker manufacturer out of California, has a patented system that promises to deliver real world punch out of small-sized speakers with an astonishingly low price point. We've seen many such systems (and promises) fail miserably. We took the RSL CG24/CG4...

    This shootout we did back in 2010 may answer some of your questions on comparing the RBH's vs the Klipsch speakers: http://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/2010-1k-faceoff With the blind screen on, the Klipsch were preferred but I later found the screen was too lossy b/c it wasn't...

    The Rotating Immersive Surround Speaker Concept

    Lately it seems the new craze is MORE is better. We see this with inflated power ratings in AV receivers, and now with the "necessity" of adding more speakers to the home theater to achieve immersive 3D surround sound. How can the manufacturers and their tech partners like Dolby and DTS figure...

    Confusion about Dolby Atmos speaker setup.

    The odd thing about Dolby Atmos is the rather rigid guidelines on discrete ceiling speakers but the loosey goosey placement guidelines on the Atmos-enabled speakers. The Atmos-enabled speaker almost seems to work on magic. Please read up on them here...

    Trading Amplifier Quality for Features – A New Trend with A/V Receivers?

    Be careful believe what any of those guys claim. Realize most of them will be willing to sell you cable snake oil in the same breath of making such unfounded statements. Yamaha receiver business is strong and sustained. I doubt Pioneer will stop making receivers too. I call BS on all of this!

    Ex Machina First Blu-ray Title Released in DTS:X Immersive Surround

    considering the dumbing down of the movie industry lately, this was certainly a refreshing change. Of course part of the reason; it wasn't produced in Hollywood.
