No b/c I set the processor to one sub but assigned the other 2 sub outs as sub 1. This is the only way I could get Audyssey to run its calibration for all of my subs at the same time. I asked Denon to offer a summed sub calibration mode that would allow users to do this via all sub outs so you...

I have an article coming out on this topic shortly but to give you the quick answer: 1. assign both subs as sub 1 2. place each sub equadistant from the listening area 3. level match both subs 4. Apply Audyssey Audyssey and most room correction systems, works best when it applies a...

Sadly no. The AH E-store dealer cost on that display is more than what HHGREG is selling it for. Incidentally I went to the next model up the G10 which is THX certified for $800. I am now a proud owner of a THX display :) I just did a price search and found Amazon selling it for $748...

I'm gonna try to help Panasonic out tonight by purchasing a new 1080p 42" plasma at HHGreg on sale for $699. That's one heck of a price! :eek:

Firmware upgrades are planned on the AVP this summer. That is all I am allowed to share at this point. Hang tight!

Sounds like their current limiting circuit is set to go off under that type of test scenario. Someone at Onkyo got a little too UL friendly IMO. Read this to understand why: http://www.audioholics.com/education/amplifier-technology/the-all-channels-driven-acd-amplifier-test

I sent 2 email requests into NAD for a review sample but haven't heard back yet. We don't have any formal reviews of NAD AVR's so it would be nice to get this one on the bench.

That's a very good point. H/K reliability has been a bit shoddy in the past from my experience as well. I was hoping the new generation would be better as this unit looks very well constructed for its price point. I will see if we can line up a review of this receiver soon. In the meantime...

Although we haven't conducted a formal review of this receiver yet, it appears to have a more robust amp section than many of its competitors in its price class. Most of the A/V receivers at this price utilize chip amps while the HK is all discrete. If you're not a fan of HK, I'd suggest...

Guys; Just so you know, its usually an industry standard for manufacturers to offer reviewers accomodation pricing on equipment after they complete a review. Nobody wants to re-sell an open boxed item. Its up to the reviewer to decide if they want to make the purchase which is usually at...

BTW as far as I know the new McIntosh BD player will be an upscale version of the Marantz player which is an upscale version of the Denon player. Once I can take a look inside, I can post for sure. I do know they did make changes between the 3 models. Whether those changes are measurably and...

Guys lets keep the thread on topic please. No need for personal attacks. Thanks.

Excellent perspective Pat. Glad to see you're still lurking about.

I agree this is a big problem for us given the detail we put in our reviews and our small staff. I tried hiring additional reviewers but they haven't really panned out. If anyone has a good A/V background and a way to do objective measurements that also enjoys reviewing gear, feel free to...

those big thru-hole caps on the audio board look interesting. I'd love to get my hand on a unit to see if they are beneficial or not. Some people may not realize that part quality means nothing if the layout and placement of parts causes their own issues.

It's not a career goal for me but if anyone wants to submit an Oppo based BD player to me to have a look, I will certainly do that. I prefer to get a new player so nobody cries foul play that the unit was defective after we test it however.

THX Update All; THX sent me another followup email based on the Oppo comments I added yesterday. I added their comments as shown below: Incidentally THX also personally invited me to come out to their facility sometime during the next few months to take a tour and discuss their...
