TAM you are a thoughtful person and deserve such courtesy. I hope you can contribute more to this forum than just the limited scope of Axiom/Bryston posts.

I've run this forum and site for over 14 years so I speak from experience. You smell like a troll. The very fact your posting your virtually identical "Bryston experience" on multiple forums under different monikers is very suspicious activity. You're account is now banned.

you're gonna find that most manufacturers fudge sensitivity ratings on speakers. We measure sensitivity from 300Hz to 3kHz which is the IEC standard way of doing so. Most manufacturers simply do a fullrange test to give the illusion of higher sensitivity. We've measured Klipsch speakers to be...

This all seems very suspicious to me as well. We've caught dealers and even manufacturer posting on our forums as "general users" in the past so it wouldn't surprise me if this happens to be the case again. I'm hoping this is not the case here but something seems off to me.

Considering his room has wood floors and little to no wall treatments, that makes a lot of sense.

2nd request, please post some images of your room and your speakers. It would help give people a clearer picture of your experiences. Thanks.

That's awesome your able to try out so many higher end speakers in your own listening space. Please feel free to share images of your speakers installed in your room on this thread and our dedicated forum area where people post their systems. This is eye candy for fellow audioholics and we...

No worries man. Soundstage is fortunate to have access to an anechoic chamber to make the measurement process easier and move convenient. It's a shame the NRC hasn't evolved its measurement procedure since it's inception decades ago. There are some sharp guys out there really doing cutting...

Not sure why anyone would think they are repackaged M80s. The only common parts between the two speakers appears to be the tweeters which is a bit odd considering the big price difference of the Brystons. The mids and woofers for the Brystons are upgraded as are the crossover parts, and...

I commend any magazine that publishes measurements but it doesn't mean I agree with them all or think they provide enough detail to make a true assessment of product performance. I've written about the limitations of using sine-sweep harmonic distortion tests for speakers in many articles over...

I would say that many of them are unrevealing of real world issues. The NRC testing methodology is often very kind to speakers that may or may not have design issues and/or limitations.

Bryston claims 91dB Sensitivity at 1 watt/meter. NRC measured 86.5dB 1 watt/meter that's a 4.5dB difference! Too bad they don't measure vertically off-axis to see how the dual tweeters integrate. Also, too bad the NRC is still doing simplistic sine-sweep harmonic distortion tests. It's...

Unfortunately my room is L shaped and I didn't have the luxury of putting the equipment in its own space. The only separated room in the theater room would have worked but then I wouldn't have an office space. Plus, I like displaying the equipment and people love seeing it coming in the room...

No, my rear channels aren't running full range. They don't dip down to 2 ohms and their volume level is set lower since they are closer to the listening position.

Possibly, but it's not really a concern of mine. Fidelity first and so far I haven't found a Class D amp that keeps up with the very best in linears for full frequency applications, especially at the power levels I'm using.

After 5 years, I went back and did some updates to the Audioholics Showcase Home based on recent equipment changes. Hope you guys dig it. Audioholics Showcase Home Theater Overview Revamped | Audioholics

Last time I tried the game, I couldnt get past the first board where you're supposed to do something at a base while avoiding the Borg. I just want to engage ship battles, not missions. I miss Star Trek Armada. If anyone has Legacy for XBOX 360, I'd love to school ya ;)
