    We're UPGRADING!

    Guys, the list from post #110 is a bit outdated since we addressed many of the items. Can someone post an updated list of action items again and preferably a list of items multiple people are experiencing the same issues with? I want to get our developer on this but don't want to spin his...

    The recent article on sensitivity - Misconceptions/Contradictions, or what?

    Not sure why you felt the need to start a new thread for this article rather than post on the existing one? You need to go back and re-read the article b/c you misunderstood several points. The Ideal Voltage Source/Flat Frequency response was talking about the amplifier, NOT the speaker. 1...

    Tip of The Day: Mixing and Matching Speakers

    Floorstanding surrounds is good if you can place the listening seats far enough away from the surrounds otherwise they will tend to be too localizable. It may be preferred for music, but not as much for movies.

    Funk Audio 18.2 Dual 18" Sealed Subwoofer Preview

    You cannot simply average the SPL data without applying some sort of weighing to the average if you want it to have some sort of real meaning to it.

    Revel reintroduces their $10,000 sealed 18" sub

    Agreed with you about the Velodyne measurement software being pretty much a useless endeavor if you even remotely care about accuracy. But the manual EQ is the most flexible I've used and essential in my setup. But I still must use external measurement devices since Velodyne's resolution is...
