You should be able to simply select 2CH stereo after you engage Party Mode. Also go into your menu and change the 7CH stereo levels for the center and surround speakers. I went in my RX-Z7 and set my center to 35% and my surrounds to 20-25% and 7CH stereo mode sounds awesome now. This won't...

Whoa there is a lot here but I will try to address what I can and remember from your post. I use -20dBFS b/c a 0dBFS can overload the bass management circuits if all speakers are set to small. It's an industry standard to use -20dBFS for multi channel testing. I do check 2CH audio with...

Unfortunately there is no real substance here to discuss. It's a marketing piece that ironically rejects 3rd party measurements of products and tells the readers to just rely on listening. I can see the appeal to this type of article for a layman, but to reject objective 3rd party measurements...

Yes the RX-Z7 and RX-A3000/3010 allows this too.

I would always prefer to do bass management in the digital domain then to use external devices and involve multiple conversion processes. Also, its almost NEVER a good idea to vary crossover frequencies between subwoofers. Check out an article I wrote on setting up multiple subwoofers...

Guys; This is a killer deal from Velodyne. They are offering brand new WiConnect 10 subwoofers for $199 with FREE shipping for the entire month of December. This is a wireless product which makes it easy to add a second sub to your room you wouldn't ordinarily be able to do without having...

The BDP-93 is $499 while the BDP-95 is $999. My Eagle eye is still sharp ;)

The bump is there to make Bassaholics happy :) Also it's much lesser in amplitude at the listening position While flat may look better it doesn't always sound better depending on the overall design. The bump is only +4dB relative to 1kHz which is not uncommon in loudspeaker design. The 8300s...

It's a difficult choice b/c the SVS certainly is among the best value/highest output subs out there commercially available. I thought it would be cheesy picking two products for each category so we instead chose a brand we reviewed but not awarded prior.

The levels are too low on that type of test to accurately show THD. An FFT analysis would be more revealing in that case and should be shown at 1 watt and full power bandwidth to get a more accurate picture of amplifier distortion. This is something I will do if I conduct a formal review of...

That is a compelling argument but we have no direct experiences with that amp. I will have to contact ATI in 2012 and arrange a review. If it bench tests well, which it looks like it will, then it will surely be a candidate for our 2012 POY award. It is more expensive than the Sherbourn but...

I know b/c I know Emotiva and how they measure their amps. I know because Emotiva measurements closely track my measurements. I know b/c Emotiva uses the exact same $40k HDMI Audio analyzer from Audio Precision. I know b/c I examined the schematics and as an Electrical Engineer designed...

The 6,800uF caps are not part of the power supply for the amp section. The 2 x 12,000uF caps are for the amp section.

I haven't been following this thread closely but I find this post interesting since I used to design amplifiers as a EE and now I measure them when reviewing them on this site. I wrote several articles on the pitfalls of the ACD Test such as this one: The All Channels Driven (ACD) Amplifier...

beautiful video, detailed measurements, and in the forum....the sound of crickets can be heard :confused:

Don't EVER trust a measurement graph Audyssey produces. It's complete BUNK. One reviewer from another online A/V publication actually publishes his before/after Audyssey calibration measurements generated by Audyssey as loudspeaker measurement, LOL. The graphs Audyssey produces are ideal...

There is no E55Ci, but there is an E56Ci and it has more advantages over the E5ci than just power handling. The MTM is more optimally oriented to reduce lobing and adding the two woofers takes the strain off the mids to play more cleanly and it also adds much needed bass response that was...

That doesn't seem right. Plugging the ports will bring F3 more towards system resonance which is around 70-80Hz.

The article states it as frequency extension not crossover point.

Hey guys; If you can take a moment and write a review of our website and services on Alexa.com, it would be greatly appreciated. It's been awhile since this has been done and we could use more recent feedback. Simply goto the link below: Audioholics.com Site Info Register an account...
