Yea I tend NOT to do that on smaller amps like these. I did do it for 2CH I believe though. Someone buying a $400 amp isn't likely going to be using 5 4-ohm speakers. It's doubtful that amp can meet spec into 4 ohms with all channels driven without using a VARIAC to hold the line voltage...

I do full bandwidth tests with 2CH driven something hardly anyone does. It's simply ridiculous to do full bandwidth testing with all channels driven, especially into 4 ohms. 1Khz power sweep makes a lot more sense and its what EVERY review magazine that measures does and it's what we do...

All balanced ins and outs, subwoofer L/R and mono with bass management option. $899. Very interesting indeed! The specs look pretty darn comparable to my $4k Marantz Integrated Amp that only has single ended outputs

Demo Room Updates All; I just wanted to give a break down of the Demo rooms at our GTG Event next month. Demo Room #1: Emotiva This is a large demo room located by the Dock adjacent to the Hotel Restaurant Emotiva will be setting up a multi channel demo along with showcasing new...

Spock's Beard Demo Discs Guys; I have Spock's Beard sending a bunch of CD's for demo purposes and for raffle to those that appreciate their music. Here is one great song from them you should check out: Solitary Soul Love Beyond Words - YouTube

Agreed which is one of the reasons power cube testing really doesn't interest me and hence why so few people even use them. I am trying to get Emotiva to build me a complex load impedance bank so if enough people here chew them out for not building it for me yet, it may happen :) THX is great...

I spent many years thinking everything in audio could neatly be measured and quantified. If fact I am pretty anal retentive about this beyond just audio but I am slowly realizing that we don't always get the whole picture from text book measurements & analysis. This is a good topic for an...

It's not always that cut and dry. You measure a worst case test signal with a best case test load vs listening to a worst case load on a dynamic and usually less strenuous signal. Measurements do tell a lot but you can't rely solely on them 100% for audio electronics let alone loudspeakers.

You will NEVER get 100% correlation between measurements and perceived differences in anything. I use measurements to flesh out product design faults NOT necessarily to declare product superiority. Loudspeakers for example are too complex to sum up and correlate how they will sound in...

Yes I do believe I heard differences in upper treble response but I don't have the ability to instantly switch the amps and level match them so I am relying a bit on auditory memory. I will keep testing this though. Don't forget the amp testing is all done through resistive loads so how the...

I actually don't care for the cosmetics of the Classe amp I reviewed. I much prefer the look of my Denon and the Pass Labs I am currently reviewing . Yet my opinion of the Classe remains unchanged b/c of appearance. It's a great amp able to drive the most difficult loads that my more powerful...

As a person that has designed audio amplifiers and have been reviewing them for over a decade that is NOT a sentiment that I share. Even at low power levels audible differences can be heard between amplifiers if the loudspeaker is revealing enough and the load is difficult. This is especially...

I turned in my $4k Denon blu-ray player for a BDP-95 and haven't looked back. I don't miss the reliability issues I had with my Denon nor the sluggish response it had. I do miss the fact that the Denon have every output activated at once and even spit out high res video/audio from both HDMI...

Yea I understand your argument but the performance of this amp is quite exceptional. Personally, I would have liked to see "made in Canada" on the back but its hard to find any electronics these days made in the USA, Canada or even Japan for that matter!

Update on Voting Deadline Given the recent circumstances on the voting issue, I am extending the deadline to cast your vote to 9/24/12. This should give all registered members plenty of time to post on this thread who their favorite review was written by. thanks.

Voting Poll Bogus Guys, The poll voting seems to be getting manipulated by unregistered members. I didn't realize at the time that anyone could vote in this poll. In the future, I will have to see how we can only limit voting to registered members if we ever structure a contest like this...

I feel your pain. My wife is the same way, and I have sensitivity. She can eat Mozzarella but not Ricotta. Take lactaid pills prior to eating cheese and make sure you take probiotics and digestive enzymes regularly.

Yep same here. They cook the pizza at 900 deg so it only takes 90 seconds. I feel like I stepped into Italy and best of all I don't need a 10hr plane flight. Just a 20 min ride to the mall :)

I hear you as I am from NY and I can tell you I can't get a Pizza like this in Long Island. Maybe in NYC but not sure. I want to try "Under the Brooklyn Bridge" next time I go to NYC.

that girl in my 12yo daughter :) The Pizza is only 12". Can't make them bigger while retaining their Certification for being Authentic Italian Pizza.
