Audyssey can be hit or miss depending on mic position and how it does its setup. I've generally seen favorable results with Audyssey though sometimes to over corrects and can actually add unwanted resonances. I really wish there was a way to restrict amount of boost/cut and also the BW of...

No unfortunately the manufacturer couldn't wait a moth or so after I received the sample so I sent it back. Maybe next time.

At a glance, RBH's EP-SB wireless in-ear headphones have a lot going for them. Priced at $179, they bring Bluetooth 4.0 with aptX, NFC pairing, and up to six hours of continuous talk / listening time. More importantly, if they share any DNA with RBH's EP1s, they'll bring excellent sound quality...

Hi William; I wouldn't get too technical about this and would leave your front channels in the optimal location for two-channel imaging and soundstage. Much of the sound from the A60s is diffuse and ambient more than precise localization up at the ceiling like the marketing photos show you. I...

Editorial Note about Dolby Surround Upmixer Center Spread Feature At the time of evaluating the AVR-X5200W, I was unaware of the adjustable parameter called "Center Spread" buried in the user manual on page 176. As such, I had it set in the default (off) position during all of my two-channel...

Try spacing them out 10ft apart with less toe-in for a 12ft listening distance.

Actually we're both wrong. It's based off the 4100 platform as I just confirmed with my D&M contacts. There is not 4200 yet. :)

Actually I believe the SR7009 is based on the X4200W platform but with some analog upgrades.

Yes you can add a 2CH amp to do a full 7.2.4 config. I updated my review to be more clear on this as follows: The AVR-X5200W is packed with speaker connections (11 pairs to be exact). Though you can only use up to 9 pairs simultaneously since the Denon provides nine channels of amplification...
