    Aperion Audio Bravus 10D Subwoofer Review

    Honestly I don't get the whole mid bass module concept that HSU started. It makes no sense to place a mid sub in the room and have it firing frequencies above 80Hz which are highly localized. The better approach to blend small speakers is to use 2 subs like a 10D that play up high, and place...

    Aperion Audio Bravus 10D Subwoofer Review

    The HSU is 19 x 14 x 18 whereas the Aperion is 15 x 13 x 13. That is a significant difference in size. The cosmetics on the Aperion are also much nicer. Size and looks play a vital role for some people when blending their systems into their room decors. Also there is more to a sub than just...

    Aperion Audio Bravus 10D Subwoofer Review

    Amazing if the box on this sub was 3-4 times larger and had SVS as the initials this thread would be flooded with responses. Doesn't anyone reading this forum have size constraints to deal with in their rooms?

    Sherbourn PT-7020A Processor First Look

    A-wt gives you much better results. I typically do unweighted unless I am measuring a Class D amp. Also HT Mag doesn't specify the output voltage??? Without knowing the output voltage, the #s cannot be directly compared. Yes very true.

    Clint thinks we nailed it this time. The site seems speedy to me so perhaps check your internet connection. Let us know if there are any more outages.

    Sherbourn PT-7020A Processor First Look

    I strongly disagree. SACD is a niche and will continue to be for many years. There are some fabulously recorded albums on SACD so you should put away your Sharpe and start listening to them. Recording engineers do a fabulous job with SACD, much better than most DVD-A mastering from my...

    Site was down again

    We are working on some issues since we moved to new servers. Hopefully this will be resolved soon. It sucks when the site is down but my inbox got flooded with 100s of Vbulletin errors within minutes meaning there are a lot of people trying to get on our forums. Its nice to see so many addicts :)

    EMP VT-40.2 Tube Amplifier & 41-SE/B Speaker System Review

    You lose some cone surface area with the phase plug which on an already small driver means you also lose some efficiency at the lower frequencies with the phase plug driver. The advantage of the phase plug driver however is it will play higher, have less beaming and simply provides stunning...

    Redbox Announces Blu-rays at Walmart - Soon Everywhere

    Time for me to dump Netflix. There is really no reason for this service when I have multiple Redbox kiosks within 2 miles driving distance from me all of which now rent Blu-ray.

    EMP VT-40.2 Tube Amplifier & 41-SE/B Speaker System Review

    Ken; You absolutely need a powered sub to compliment the 41-SE/B's if you plan on putting them in a room that large. Also they were meant to be placed near a wall for added boundary gain so if you place them too far from the back walls you may find the mid bass to be a bit lacking. Placed...

    Is this ad legit?

    We never reviewed those speakers and Stereomojo appears to be a hobby site as their traffic doesn't even rank on Alexa.com. That being said, the speakers may be great but we haven't verified that in any form of review on Audioholics.com.

    Did James Cameron Rip Off Roger Dean with Avatar?

    Very true. The same can be said about religion as well. Its human nature I suppose.

    Did James Cameron Rip Off Roger Dean with Avatar?

    Seems to be a trend with movies these days. The latest Star Trek was a complete rip off of the last Star Trek Movie Nemesis mixed in with Star Wars and elements of 90210. When hollywood runs out of ideas, they simply respin what worked in the past. Needless to say, I still found both...

    Denon receiver, Bose speakers- can it work?

    Honestly if you're gonna stick with the Bose cubes for the long haul, don't spend more than about $300 on an A/V receiver. I recommend selling your cubes on Ebay and then focusing on buying a complete 5.1 A/V system. There are many options for small speakers that will perform better than the...

    HDMI Cable Speed Tests Fact or Fiction?

    Considering that an HDMI cable is, at bottom, nothing more than an arrangement of wire, foil and plastic, the purchase of HDMI cables have become awfully confusing. Everywhere one turns, there are all sorts of specification version numbers being tossed around, claims about HDMI cable "speed,"...

    no my samples getting here are 3-4 weeks away. The review will take me about 1 month to complete. I will however post my initial impressions here once I get them to let people know how they sound. My brother is dying to bring him Axiom M60v2s over to see if they will beat them or at least...

    Ad Selection

    One thing Bose isn't is stupid. They are one of the most efficiently run businesses in American. They know our exact demographics and traffic. We do supply our traffic info to our ad agency so I am sure they studied that in detail before deciding on where to advertise. Audioholics has more...

    My brother once met the man responsible for marketing the Wave Radio. When asked what he though about the product he marketed, he told my brother it was an amazing engineering feat for $50 worth of parts ;) No Joke!

    EMP Tek Impression Series E55Ti Tower Speakers First Look

    EMP really needs to add a wall mounted surround speaker like Emotiva, Aperion and Axiom, etc have. Its a challenge to use a 2-way bookshelf for a surround which you will either have to place on stands (which can be too low) or brackets (which tend to stick out too far for aesthetic appeal).
