Sounds like you implemented them well. In a large room, I'd want to employ 2 subs placed in close proximity and crossed over to the 41s at 100Hz. That kind of setup, running stereo subs, would be pretty awesome for sure. I love them as nearfield monitors b/c they are so detailed and clean...

These speakers are not well suited for large rooms. They really should be used as nearfield monitors.

I use the Velodyne Mini-Vee. Excellent,compact and blends great.

The UPA500 and UPA200 are identical except the UPA500 has 5 channels and the UPA200 has 2 channels. They have the exact same power transformer and capacitor bank. I am currently reviewing the UPA500 and will post the review in a couple of weeks.

not necessarily flat, but more even response across more seats. Flat is NOT pleasing sounding in a real room. You want elevated low end response as Frequency goes down and tapered off response as frequencies go up. A flat line from 20Hz to 20kHz (which is impossible to achieve in a real room)...

You're forgetting this amp is compatible with a 220V/20A line. The only way it can deliver the rated power continuously is on an ideal bench test where the line voltage is held constant. This can be said about any high power amp and it was said in the following article I wrote: The All...

What are your mains and surround speakers being used? I installed an E56Ci and found it to be around -2dB less efficient than the E55Ti towers. EMP speakers will NOT be as efficient as your Def Techs but as long and you use an SPL meter to level match all of your speakers, you should be fine...

I always publish FFT distortion analysis at low and high power in my reviews so you can see this. here is a guideline on how I measure amps: Basic Amplifier Measurement Techniques — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Understood and Anthem makes some great amps so I'm not surprised by their specs.

You need to compare SNR between amps at the same power levels and same weighing filtering. This is why I like to scale all power amps SNR figures down to 1 watt where the amp idles most of the time anyways. I will measure SNR on the new Emo amp like I've done with all other amps. The XPA amps...

Don't worry Huddler is NOT an option for Audioholics I am considering. Here is an example of a popular forum using Xenforo so you can get an idea of how it would look. IGN Boards

I'm with you. I love Vbulletin. But VB4.0 has been plagued with issues since Internet Brands took it over. Their support doesn't seem as good. We were gonna wait for VB5.0 but don't have a lot of confidence in it. Xenforo has some really cool features from our research, including SEO...

I asked RBH to start shipping these with port plugs since most people use them on a desktop close to a back wall. The black ring near the phase plug is an improvement to reduce turbulence from the air gap of the phase plug. RBH's $50k/pair Status 8T's also do this with their Beryllium phase...

UPDATE: Go to this thread for discussion of the new vBulletin 4.2 forum Hey guys; We will be upgrading our forum from Vbulletin to Xenforo in the course of the next 2-3 months. We are looking for beta testers but also some feedback here as to what you'd like to see on the new forum...

Tell them to bring on the 192kHz/24bit discs! :D

Specifications This is an unreleased product… What we can tell you is that it sits at the top of SVS's Sealed Box subwoofer line and will be called the SB13-Ultra. The members auditioning it and chronicling their experiences will be receiving it at the same time as our professional reviewers...

Guys I love this thread! You have me intrigued not only to start reviewing some of the budget pro amps but to do a listening comparison and tech article to try to understand why they sound different. As soon as I am done with the Status Titus 8T, Pass Labs, Classe and Emotiva amp reviews, I...

If you only have 4 speakers, you should plug two of them to the Main front channels and two of them to the surround channels of your receiver. Then turn off the center and surround back channels. Calibrate the 4 speakers using the internal test tones and an SPL meter. You can run 4CH stereo...

This is the last post I will make on this issue. START A THREAD Discussing Pro vs Consumer amps. I briefed over the links you just sent on the Behringer and Bryston amps. They don't measure SNR from what I see but based on what they show I'd bet the Bryston has a better noise floor than the...

I'm getting really tired of this thread being derailed as well as the general negativity towards Emotiva for launching a new series of amplifiers. If you want to start a thread comparing pro vs consumer amps please do so but I'd like this thread to be steered back on course. As a moderator...
