    RBH Sound SX-6300/R Tower Speaker Review

    While they have a similar driver compliment, the EMP's don't compare to the RBH SX/R series of speaker. The EMP's are fine speakers for the money, but the RBH's are in a different league. The RBH's use a Scan Speak 9500 series tweeter which is arguably one of the best soft dome tweeters ever...

    Velodyne Terminates Reps & Becomes an Internet Direct Subwoofer Company

    It's not really clear how Velodyne will support their existing Dealer network. If they lower MSRP of their products online, I suspect their dealers won't be happy. If they don't lower MSRP, they won't be competitive with other online subwoofer brands. This is a perplexing situation that I am...

    2011 $2000 A/V Receiver Comparison Guide

    No typically 1CH driven and the others at 1/8th driven. If the power rating on the back of the receiver doesn't say "Max power" than its NOT a Max power rating.

    2010 Subwoofer Shootout Room Size Recommendation Comparison

    After long discussions with Josh, I decided to bump the Bassaholic rating up +2dB to make it a bit harder to earn. So in this shootout only the Rythmik earned that rating.

    How Audioholics Determines Bass Output Ratings in Subwoofers

    After debating with Josh about using Peak or RMS data for our Room Size ratings, I decided on a compromise with Josh (something I wish our political parties in washington would do). We will go forward using Peak as I originally stated but I bumped the Bassaholic requirement up +2dB to make it a...

    Interesting current article on older receivers.

    Kinda a senseless article comparing a dedicated two-channel receiver to a 7.1 receiver that has all the latest HD video and audio processing and certifications to have them. Of course amp quality will suffer when trying to keep within a budget and offer all of these features. How could this be...

    Yamaha RX-A3010 9.2 AVENTAGE Receiver Preview

    I'm on the fence about bench testing a 3010 since it will likely test as well or slightly better than an RX-Z7 which I exhaustively tested already. Wouldn't you guys rather see a different brand/model bench tested instead?

    How Audioholics Determines Bass Output Ratings in Subwoofers

    The idea is more about the output level achieved being above reference designating Bassaholic. I based it somewhat loosely on Ultra2 Spec which is 115dB into a 3,000ft^3 room though the THX spec is much easier to meet than ours b/c they test the sub at a much closer distance and don't have such...

    How Audioholics Determines Bass Output Ratings in Subwoofers

    The #s are taken from 2 meter GP data and scaled to 1/8th space (corner loaded) 4 meter. Thus our assumption is the average listener will corner load their sub and sit about 4 meters from it in the room. 115dB is a peak reference level intended by the recording studio. It can go as high...

    Velodyne Digital Drive DD-15+ Subwoofer Review

    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2

    I will probably get blasted for saying this but I don't get the Harry Potter obsession. I tried to watch the original movie 3 times and fell asleep all 3 times. I tried watching a few sequels and just never got into them. Meanwhile I love the LOTR series and all things SciFi and Superhero...
