It's NOT. It's a tip of the day as the page title indicates, and something we plan on doing routinely to help neophytes.

True but if you look at my review of the ES1010i, you can see the room response at the listening area was flat to 20Hz despite the sub rolling off around 30Hz. In any decent sized room you will get a bump in the 20-40Hz region towards the back of the room so if the sub has a gradual rolloff...

ES1010i Subwoofer Room Rating Guys; i fear our room rating may have given people pause considering this subwoofer. Please realize I used sweep data instead of CEA data to extrapolate a room rating. This usually tracks fairly well above where the sub is driver limited depending on the extent...

I was wondering the same thing. Very odd. :confused:

Not sure but its something that can be asked for an eventual article on regulatory testing i was planning anyways. I know all their amps meet CE which encompasses and sometimes surpasses much of the other safety & regulatory testing agencies.

I was actually wrong. According to Dan at Emotiva, in 220V, the XPR-5 is capable of drawing 40amps of current. WOW! You can also check their website for full disclosure of power measurements: http://emotiva.com/resources/media/xpr5/xpr5_8ohms.pdf...

The XPR-5 has a 3.3kVA power transformer. That's about the biggest transformer I've seen in any power amp regardless of price. The Bryston model uses significantly smaller power transformers in comparison not larger as you claim. The XPR-5 is capable of working on 220V and with a 220V/20A...

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Specials on Projectors for Home Theater

My wife and I sat down for a demo of this system at CEDIA and had to walk out after about 1 minute because they were blasting it beyond ear bleeding levels and it was way too bright and harsh. The rep bragged about how low the noise floor of the system was yet I was wondering why if that was...

My sister-in-law powers these speakers with her RX-A1010 receiver with no problem. A higher current amp would be beneficial of course, but impedance at low F is very high making them easy to drive with modestly powered receivers.

Gotta love those 130dB frequency response graphs too :)

If you're not running the POA in bridged mode, you only need 1 unit to power all 9 of you speakers since it's a 10CH amp. If you do want to run both units with each channel in bridged mode than simply assign each bridged channel to a channel from the AVP and make the connections accordingly.

20 channels? Good god man are you setting up a movie theater cineplex? :) You can freely assign all of the inputs on your AVP processor but you're still limited to the total # of unbalanced and balanced connections. You might be able to independently assign different channels to...

My Reference system consisting of the $50k Status Acoustics 8T speakers :) Funny enough since I got these speakers I haven't really been playing XBOX at all. I plan on it during the XMAS break...I hope.

agreed and I will update the article for correctness.

Might have been my fault for bringing them a progressive rock CD that sounded like crap. It was the first time I heard it so I didn't know how badly it was recorded. Also coming from the Salk room could have also spoiled you a bit :)

As I said in my last post, I don't have the time or desire to debate your misinformed opinions. Here is an example where you had to be shot down by the source himself Dr. Floyd Toole for misquoting him. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/851537-post94.html I think a week break from...

I know Andrew Jones very well and he's a great engineer. Not all loudspeaker designs agree on all aspects of speaker design. Hence why there is such a diversity of product options and driver technologies on the market. There can be many benefits of phase plug drivers,not just off-axis but as...

This would be a great alternative and its brand new. I have in the new Pioneer speakers for review and nothing touches them for their price IMO. SP-PK52FS - Andrew Jones Designed 5.1 Channel Speaker Package | Pioneer Electronics USA You could go with the 5.0 system and upgrade to bigger...
