    Fluance XL7F response curves

    Measuring a speaker with drivers firing from multiple cabinet faces is tricky. Take a look at my review which gives a more complete picture of performance. the bump at 100Hz is real and a result of Fluance not filtering the bottom firing woofer until a much higher crossover point. Fluance...

    Pioneer Andrew Jones SP-PK52FS review

    I figured as much. The Infinity tweeter is really a disappointment in the overall design of the speaker. I tried to tell this to Harman but they weren't too receptive. They used a 4 ohm driver and the speaker measured 4 ohm as a result yet they called it an 8 ohm speaker. Overall the P363s...

    SVS Ultra Speakers Loudspeakers

    Klipsch give you a lot of bass and treble and play loud. The SVS speakers seem to be voiced more tonally neutral. It all depends on what you're looking for. There is a lot of engineering in the SVS speakers from what I see and its definitely worth the wait.

    SVS Ultra Speakers Loudspeakers

    That's a good question. Interestingly though for $2k/pair your getting high quality parts and construction with a real veneer wood finish. Some manufacturers charge 25-35% more for real wood and instead give you vinyl as their base price. $2k/pair for these looks like a real deal!

    XTZ Divine 100.33 LCR Loudspeaker Preview

    Their product offerings look great but they are so numerous and their model#s are confusing. They definitely need to tighten it up a bit.

    Sealed vs Ported Loudspeakers: Which is Better?

    Or a more balanced viewpoint is offering multiple tuning modes including the option to seal a ported design opens wider placement options and is in fact excellent engineering in doing so. The PB13-Ultra is this example one of engineered excellence as any owner or person that's actually heard...

    Their demo room size is limited and it makes sense that they bring their best subs to show off what they can do. Maybe next year :)

    Audio Power Cables / Cords - Do they really make a difference?

    you don't need a blind test as much as a way to instantly change out the cords which is nearly impossible. Audio memory sucks when dealing with subtle differences.

    Anyone have the EMP e5ti and e55ti?

    In a small room like that, go with the E5tis and their Es10i sub and you will be fine.

    Audio Power Cables / Cords - Do they really make a difference?

    Craig; there is no valid theoretical reason why the Nordost power cables should make any difference in your system but if you feel like it does and your happy with your purchase nobody can fault you for it. Enjoy, their stuff is pretty and if you've got the coin to spare for it, that's your...

    $2,000 Recommended Two-Channel Stereo System

    Put up some good streaming options here and we will consider adding them as alternatives or even primary sources in future systems. Not sure if most consumers go with streaming or just use hard disc only. Personally I use Pandora and a HD media server myself but I typically don't stream from a...

    $6,000 Recommended Two-Channel Stereo System

    absolutely not. We figured most people setting up a 2CH system wouldn't have a display in that room and it''s necessary to have a display to configure the Oppo. If however you have a display than the Oppo BDP-105 would be the perfect solution.
