That's a shame b/c PLIIx is a significant improvement in sound compared to PLII, especially when listening to 2CH source material. You may want to give 7.1 a try before writing it off.

Here is my review of the Axiom Algonquins. I have a pair of these in my work out room. Overall they produce good sound for background music and even moderately high listening levels, but when driven really hard the woofers audibly break up. This is mostly b/c the woofer itself has no...

Here is a song I just composed in tribute of Caylee Anthony and the media circus that followed her trial accompanied with a lack of justice for such a tragic loss. I am not a pianist, I just play by ear for fun but this just represents what I was feeling thinking about the whole situation...

If anyone has contact info for Seaton, I will request a sample from him as well since his subs are getting quite a following lately on the forums.

Product Suggestions? Guys feel free to start suggesting products you would like to be tested. I also started a thread here for fellow AVS members input as well: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=20670513#post20670513 thanks.

Keep in mind that a simple FR graph doesn't tell you if a speaker is running a driver into its breakup mode or if the cabinet has resonance issues. Most FR plots are done at low level where a problematic speaker typically doesn't misbehave. I touch on this in our up and coming article about...

Sorry but putting duct tape on a kids mouth, driving around with the dead body in a car for nearly a month while partying and whoring as the body decomposed and then burying her corpse near her parents house are not the actions of an "accident" or "panic". Waiting 31 days to file a missing...

As a father of two children (daughters) and a resident of Florida, I am sickened by the verdict. What makes it even worse is that Casey is now a celebrity and likely soon to be rich over the death of her innocent child. Watch her get a book/movie deal and possible Reality TV show off of this...

Hey nothing any of the Transformers series have ever did has been worthy of an Oscar. Gen 1 is still my favorite despite all the stupid stuff found in those cartoons. Transformers Prime is actually a big improvement and I highly recommend to any transformers fans to start watching it...

Interview with Aperion Audio on Loudspeaker Design Philosophy I just posted this Interview with Aperion Audio on Loudspeaker Design Philosophy

I agree with you as Klipsch has less than a good track record of "improving" brands after acquisition. Look how they treated the coveted Acurus/Aragon brands :( Only time will tell hence why it's important to sample their products in review every so often :)

The movie was about what I expected but the blatant disregard for basic physics of two large masses being in close proximity was something the 1980s cartoon at least got correctly that Bay did not. I did enjoy how Leonard Nimoy interjected Spock logic while threatening to destroy the Earth :)

Review Addendum added I added the following to Mark's review upon his request. Review Addendum Part way through reviewing the V-6.3s I contacted Klipsch, curious to know just how much of the V-6.3s were "Energy" and how much they're "Klipsch". Overall, the sense I got from their response...

To me it implies the manufacturer considers their speaker to be uglier than the competition if the listener doest pick their speaker as the winner in a sighted test. That doesnt instill much confidence in ones product IMO.

There is nothing wrong with doing SBTs for audio tests. We do them often when comparing products. The problem is when manufacturers do them with their own staff and mistakenly call them DBTs. Some of the very same manufacturers won't submit products to 3rd party shootouts even if they follow a...

I republished b/c it was never linked up to the forums and its a good primer to our up and coming loudspeaker articles.

You are better off running a 5.1 or 7.1 system in PLIIx Music Mode or 7 Channel Stereo mode (with the center and surrounds turned down to 30-40% of front channels). Alternatively, sell your front speakers and buy a model that will play louder instead. The issue of placing speakers side by side...

I loved this movie too. Perfect character casting of Magneto and Xavier. I think there was a mess up of timeline for the cameo but it was funny nonetheless.

Agreed, Axiom speakers, especially their towers, give you plenty of bass and top end. They have a very pleasing sound and appeal to an average listener that's been exposed to nothing but Bose and other department store alternatives. I've had many family members over the house doing blind and...

I bet this poop meat is still more nutritious than the beef at Taco Bell and it likely has less sand and pesticides too :)
