    E = != mc2

    this seems true b/c when the Universe was formed, it scattered too quickly assuming the speed of light was always a constant. Einstein never said the speed of light was fixed shortly after the big bang. Scientists believe there are still pockets in space where the speed of light is much faster...

    B&W ASW 610XP Subwoofer Review

    It's interesting to me that this sub has about the exact same output capabilities of the Emotiva Ultra Sub 12. B&W seemed to really eek out a lot of performance out of a small enclosure with a 10" driver, but it certainly doesn't come cheap.

    Identifying Legitimately High Fidelity Loudspeakers: Myths & Facts about Cabinets

    that's good stuff. Years ago when I worked my way through engineering school, I worked at a local hifi shop. I used to bench test amps for customers prior to installing them at their place. I also would routinely show them internals of loudspeakers by popping out woofers of the floor models...

    Identifying Legitimately High Fidelity Loudspeakers: Myths & Facts about Cabinets

    That is why you rely on competently written professional reviews as a starting point. Some manufacturers will also post interior shots of the cabinets and parts used or at least mention them in their specs page. The more data a manufacturer is willing to disclose the better a consumer can be...

    Emotiva Sub and customer service

    The bad cap on the board has to do with the auto-on trigger circuit not a HPF. The sub is intentionally limited below 30Hz to protect the driver as you can see in my measurements.

    Steve Jobs has died.

    I couldn't afford an Amiga either. My friend had one. I first had a Vic20 with Tape, then got a C64 which died on me 3 times (reliability issues). I then bought a used C128 and left it in C64 mode 99% of its life b/c there was no software for it. I even had the fastload software for the disc...

    Steve Jobs has died.

    I loved the Amiga when it came out. It had a 50Mhz clock speed which was unheard of at the time, the best sound and graphics compared to any commercial computer. Commodore had stereo sound, multi voices and color while IBM was still green with beep sounds only. Commodore unfortunately was...

    Emotiva Sub and customer service

    Emotiva had a problematic capacitor on the amp boards of some of their first runs on the Ultra subs. My test unit failed and they replaced it and it works fine now. They are upgrading anyone's amps who have experienced failures and its very easy to swap out.

    Steve Jobs has died.

    Jeff as I stated in your "Done!" thread, I am an Apple and Steve Jobs fan. I didn't make that statement to disrespect Steve. I felt his death was somewhat anti-climatic since he just recently resigned from Apple and they made a rather lackluster announcement about a new iPhone that was nothing...

    Steve Jobs has died.

    Very sad indeed and too bad he went out on a low point for Apple where they bragged about a new iPhone 5 and instead repackaged an iPhone 4 with a better camera.
