    Mark Levinson No. 52 Reference Dual-Monaural Preamplifier Preview

    Not really. Drive a Honda Accord then drive a BMW 550i (Which is under $100k). Nothing arguable about that and very easy to measure performance differences on a track.

    Mark Levinson No. 52 Reference Dual-Monaural Preamplifier Preview

    A $25k Sedan will NEVER outperform or drive more comfortably than a $150k Sedan though....

    EMP ES1010i Subwoofer Initial Report

    I highly recommend setting the E55ti main channels to large and keep the crossover on your receiver to 80Hz with all other speakers set small. The E55's do well running fullrange with a nice natural rolloff below 60Hz. I suspect you will get better bass response overall with the mains large...

    doesn't this seem like a strange concert mix ?

    such a sad way to trash the band. Roth has no business to be singing anymore. They hate each other, yet they do it for the paycheck. Musically its terrible and embarrassing for a band that ruled over two decades of high energy rock. That being said, I'd probably find Kool & the Gang more...

    GoldenEar Triton Three Tower Loudspeaker Preview

    there are definitely pros and cons to it. Pros - usually better bass response compared to passive tower, takes up less space than separate towers and subs Cons - bass modules can't be optimally located in the room and usually aren't up to the same level of performance as dedicated powered...

    Revel Performa3 Loudspeakers Preview

    We were told by the Revel rep that only the demo pair had the actual drivers. The other speakers had dummy drivers for display only. Yes regardless they look like great speakers.

    Revel Performa3 Loudspeakers Preview

    I don't think the pics from CES are of the real drivers. Those were mock ups. Stay tuned for the official product pages on their site.

    2010 Audioholics $1k Floorstanding Loudspeaker Faceoff

    Time of Reconcile our Differences This constant back and forth between us, forum members and Axiom isn't productive for anyone involved. I honestly don't have it in my heart to sustain negative energy like this. I myself am to blame because I allowed it to progress on this forum rather than...

    up to +3dB if not co-located and up to +6dB if colocated. This is highly frequency dependent of course.

    Audioholics Subwoofer Measurement Data Compilation & Report

    Thanks I found the 2 typos for Velodyne and fixed it. All last years tests are there too. Tab2 has 3 of the 4 tests Paul did. I kept Josh's tests for Rythmik instead b/c it was tested for multiple modes.

    A Detailed Look at the Importance of Proper Loudspeaker Cabinet Bracing

    The only time too much bracing can be detrimental is if the braces aren't properly sized and coupled to the panels or if there are simply too many braces and it compromises internal volume.

    A Detailed Look at the Importance of Proper Loudspeaker Cabinet Bracing

    There also comes a point where over analyzing a situation can be counterproductive, especially if the analysis isn't accurate enough to reveal the problem. Common sense and a good understanding of mechanics will get you pretty far. I see little point it trying to justify using 1 less brace or...
