The HK 3490 is a really nice receiver. It measures well and sounds great. harman/kardon HK 3490 Stereo Receiver Review — Reviews and News from Audioholics It puts out about 170wpc into 4 ohm loads which isn't too shabby. You may want to assess your room and speakers before changing out...

Yes the Ultra 12 was reviewed before we came up with the Room Rating protocol. If it were reviewed today with our new standard it would also earn our "Small Room" rating. It still can be used in larger rooms but it won't be able to hit reference levels as indicated in our protocol spec.

That is up to Axiom. We are very willing to give their products a fair shake like everyone elses, especially since we now have a subwoofer measurement protocol based on CEA testing and backed by the entire industry. By next year, we will have subwoofer reviews tested with our new protocol for...

Hi Amie, you are more than welcome to post on our forums, especially to address Axiom related questions/concerns. Looking forward to covering your new product releases. I think everyone is clamoring to seeing you guys come out with new stuff.

I knew a Pete in college that had these speakers around the same time. What a coincidence. :D

Ed Mullen and the new crew at SVS are top notch and an absolute pleasure to work with. This company is really on fire with competently staffed people and a full array of industry trend setting products. Best of all they listen to criticisms and feedback with open minds and are passionate about...

Guys; Velodyne is running a KILLER subwoofer sale from December 5th thru the 12th with savings up to 50% on select subwoofers. See the attached banner. Make sure you visit Velodyne Website between Dec 5th - 20th for a heck of a deal that only comes around this time of year. Merry...

Hey guys, if you want to discuss Axiom stuff, how about starting a dedicated thread on it. It's best to keep this thread on topic which is the SVS sub previewed in the article associated with this thread. thanks and back to research :D

The HSU VTF-15H is an incredible value that didn't exist 6 years ago. It's also quite a large box. The PB-12Plus DSP is an engineering marvel IMO. It also didn't exist like it does today, 6 years ago.

Axiom subs don't suck. The EP500 IMO is their best performer/dollar for a variety of reasons. However, the rest of the sub world has really evolved in the last 4-5 years and are offering a LOT more performance for less money. It still doesn't mean their subs "suck", it just means they aren't...

Measuring multi driver loudspeakers is a lot more complex than measuring a single driver subwoofer or speaker. This is why measurements are often done at different distances to the speaker. When doing in-room measurements, you want to measure a speaker as closely as possible to minimize room...

That review of the EP500 was from 2004! The date doesn't reflect that since we've updated our CMS system and it messed up the dates on most of our older articles. That being said, converting my 1 meter rms 4pi to 2 meter GP for the Axiom EP500 yields: 20Hz 87dB 25Hz 97dB 30Hz 99dB vs the...

Over the last 11+ years Audioholics has done nothing but provide very positive product reviews for NAD/PSB. Tom has a humorous flare that our readers appreciate. The preview article in question was IMO a pretty humorous yet informative article based on very little information known about...

Sorry but I disagree with your very ignorant and broad brushed statements about our measurement protocol. We do follow a measurement protocol for loudspeakers and subwoofers and if you spent more time reading our tech articles you would have already known that. Some of our measurements are...

I don't doubt that since the Axiom implements a brickwall HPF which raises group delay near tuning and also negates and room gain at very low frequencies where the SVS still produces usable tactile bass that couples with the room.

You are comparing Peak (Ed's forum post) to RMS (my Preview article). My Preview article had all SPL's converted to RMS to be more inline with all data Josh Ricci publishes for us. It's also clearly noted in the article. I know this stuff can get confusing which is why I am a stickler for...

You're right, I mistakenly posted the 18Hz tune mode data for the Outlaw. I went back and updated the article with the 25Hz data. The SVS PB-12NSD now has a +3.5dB advantage at 20Hz but the Outlaw LFM-1EX has about a +4dB advantage above 40Hz.

Audioholics; Velodyne Impact-10 Deal Check out our Video Preview of this mighty little sub. This is a great sub for an office or small listening space and the price is right while this deal lasts. Happy Cyber Monday :)

Thanks Ed. Your CEA data makes a lot more sense based on the frequency response curve Brent published. Also, I thought it would be interesting to compare 2 meter peak data between the PB-12NSD to the HSU VTF-15H we reviewed. Here is what I come up with when all peak data is translated to 2...

Our site search sucks. WE are working on replacing it with a Google Site search instead. Thanks for pointing it out however. WE are planning a revamp of Audioholics by mid next year.
