The EMP Towers are 87dB SPL @ 1 watt/8ohms which is moderately efficient. A typical Klipsch speaker is anywhere between 5-6dB more efficient so a Klipsch speaker will play alot louder given the same wattage. However Klipsch speakers tend to have a lot more energy on the top end which some...

EMP products can also be purchased on their webste and distribution. EMP/RBH is not related to Audioholics in any way other than they advertise on the editorial site and sell product thru our online store. The same could be said about Yamaha, and any of our advertisers or any magazine that...

That's interesting since the 0/7.5IRE setting also affects HDMI output on my DVD-5910CI. If true, I am surprised Denon didn't tell me this and instead elevated it to Japan. I will go mess with the other setting and report back. Thanks. *Update* page 35 of the manual confirms your...

I pulled a quick 1/2 meter (1/12th octave) on-axis in-room measurement before I shipped my samples to Tom for review. See attached. They do have a little bass bump below 100Hz which attributes to their "warm" sound attribute. The midrange is surprisingly linear which is often not the case for...

This is an introductory price (dealer cost) they are offering to flood the market with fan boys :) I don't expect it will last long else nobody will make any money :eek:

Good to know as I feared the TKs top end would beat the new Impression series. Personally I thought the Impressions had a good amount of bass output for their size and price though a sub is a definate must for home theater usage of course.

I love hearing the comparison between the TK Towers and these new speakers. Tom Andry is doing a detailed review as we speak and has both speakers in his posession. The TKs probably still have an overall edge in performance but as Dave said, the Impressions are much nicer on the eyes and are...

I got a chance to listen to the EMP towers last week in my reference room. I have to say they were impressive. I thought they would just be looks but sonically they performed better than my expectations. I was unable to bottom out the woofers which means EMP didn't try to tune them too low for...

All; I finally have a fully functional Denon DVD-A1UDCI Universal Blu-ray Player. I started this thread to support the product during my review process. 0/+7.5IRE Issue So far I have found an operational bug with mine. The player seems to be defaulted to 0IRE. When I switch to +7.5IRE...

That's bizzare b/c I remember reading announcements about it. I guess it was scrapped :(

thanks but I don't need the temptation of yet a 3rd gaming console in my home. I am already a Star Trek Legacy / Halo 3 addict :)

I read the comments here. I will not be testing a PS3 simply b/c I don't have one. I will however include PCM conversion testing from bitstreams in my Denon player review and try to compare it to the Oppo. Realize this is all new stuff to test and nobody is really testing it except us...

No more like a comparitive review between this and the Denon. And don't call me Shirley! :)

There are great albums overlooked for many bands, for example: Genesis - Wind & Wuthering, and then there were three Yes - Relayer, Talk Bob James - Ivory Coast Pat Metheny - Offramp, Witchita Falls Led Zepplin - Physical Graffiti Spyro Gyra - Breakout I think I will go pop some of...

Call me crazy, but I think Animals is Pink Floyd's best album. You can really get into it and escape if you know what I mean. I could kick myself for recently buying the CD and then shortly after they released it on SACD :(

I updated Tom's article :) http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/transports/high-definition-dvd-players-hd-dvd-blu-ray/lexicon-bd-30-universal-blu-ray-player

You know I looked at this player and immediately thought it was the Oppo. Maybe its time for an "Attack of the Clone Blu-ray player" article :)

I can't stop playing Star Trek Legacy for XBOX 360. I never solved the game, I just participate in online battles. Although there aren't many people playing these days, I am actually one of the best players at it and its alot of fun to get 3-4 people online with you. I still play Halo 3 but...

I got one for my parents and they love it! http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/furniture/e5822-tv-cab

I've heard of them but I never had any dealings. I am sure they do similar work as Simply Speakers. Its cool to see Vintage stuff being reconditioned. Sometimes "they don't build it like they used to" is very applicable with successor speaker lines from the same company.
