    VH1 Rock (Dis)honors Genesis?

    Huh? Genesis is one of the best live bands in rock history musically IMO. During the late 70s they really peaked musically with Hackett on guitars, Bruford/Phil/Chester on drums, etc. Listen to Seconds Out and then tell me their heart wasn't in their performance. Very few bands in rock can...

    Star Trek opinion

    Ok here is my opinion on this subject: The Original Series: It was cool, and innovative and the characters were classic, but many of the episodes don't stand the test of time. Too much hippie stuff ruined many of the episodes. The movies were great, most notably STII, IV, and VI Next...

    Ascend Sierra-1's vs. RBH MC-6C's

    The face off review will be very similar to how Ray did our last one though this one will be conducted by a panel of 3 listeners and all speakers will be measured. Ascends is shipping us a pair of speakers next week.

    RBH Sound MC-6C Bookshelf Speaker Review

    If a speaker images well in 2CH music and offers an expansive soundstage, there is no reason why it won't do the same in a home theater. Since i didn't evaluate an MC package, my review was focused on 2CH where I tend to be far more critical.

    RBH Sound MC-6C Bookshelf Speaker Review

    But if I reviewed the 616C, someone would have wanted me to review the MC Tower :) I did the MC6C b/c it will be part of a BIG bookshelf speaker face off we are working on this summer. I have no doubts the 616C is a better speaker, due to its driver topology, but its also bigger and more...

    Am I going to lose out if I buy THE RBH SE instead of the SE/R

    More drivers aren't always better and IMO multiple tweeters make the most sense when used in a line array type of product like the T2 or T30 system. The Scan Speak tweet used in the 1266-SE/R has ultra high power handling and you will likely never get it to go into thermal compression...

    Am I going to lose out if I buy THE RBH SE instead of the SE/R

    Wow so much confusion, so little time :) The main difference between the SE vs SE/R is the latter employes driver upgrades borrowed from their Status Acoustics line. Check out my SE/R review about that at: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/bookshelf/rbh-sound-signature-se-r...

    VH1 Rock (Dis)honors Genesis?

    I submitted my article to my contacts at Genesis, but so far there was "No Reply at All". LOL. Interesting comments here which pretty much jive with my experience of the show: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070524222317AAgYecm

    Ascend Sierra-1's vs. RBH MC-6C's

    I have a very detailed review of the RBH MC-6C's coming out shortly. These speaker rock! Although they are rated down to 60Hz, you cannot bottom them out by design. I ran them full range at ear bleeding levels and they were virtually bulletproof. Asends is sending us their new speakers and...

    VH1 Rock (Dis)honors Genesis?

    Bingo, I think you hit the nail on the head. Agreed, Tony and Mike looked so stiff. They aren't the partying type of people and perhaps it was a bit overwhelming to them. Daryl told me they tour with their families and they don't trash their hotel rooms like most rock bands do, their kids...

    A different rock genre

    Agreed and bands like Marillion, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, etc were all heavily influenced by Genesis. Also surprised Yes wasn't in that list unless I missed it.

    Transformers trailer

    It is highly doubtful an advanced alien robotic race would use sheet metal. In our present time, we already have Memory Metal technology that can restore to its normal shape after being heated. Perhaps they have an even more advanced version of this metal. If so, it would be cool if they...

    Transformers trailer

    Odd that Optimus and Bumblebee would have color while the others don't. The movie trailer shows a robot exiting a swimming pool with a cycloptic eye looking to resemble Shockwave but I know he isn't in it. I was figuring it must have been Iron Hide since he didn't kill the little girl, but the...

    Transformers trailer

    I don't think Starscream is in the movie. From what I recall in an interview, the only cannon characters are: Optimus, Iron Hide, Megatron, Bumblebee, and Scorponik.

    Transformers trailer

    Yea the size issues of the old shows were a bit annoying, though not so much when I was 11 years old :) I don't mind him being a Jet, Tank, Bug etc, but I really wanted his robot form to look similar to the cartoon. The pics I saw recently make him look more like the aliens from Indepedence...
