Of course you and Ethan have never been in rooms that don't need bass traps. You both making a living selling them exclusively :rolleyes: The truth is, if you use multiple subwoofers, proper speaker and seating placement, the need for bass trapping goes down significantly. As a prime...

Yes in a square room, you must use every means possible to better your bass response. Though don't over abuse any particular method. There seems to be a tendency by some to over treat a room which is NOT a good thing. We do teach most of what is needed to know related to home theater here...

Bass traps are NOT a necessity in most rooms. You can achieve excellent bass response by properly positioning and integrating 2 subwoofers in your room along with minimal EQing (if needed). If you still have issues afterwards, you can add passive treatments as needed but its best to consult...

I added the Velodyne Subs b/c my room is L shaped and I needed to smooth out the bass response across all listening seats. This did the trick quite nicely. I would try just the T30 system by itself first and add a sub or 2 only if needed later on. The SA400 + T30LSE system in any normal...

Well we will be conducting more realistic multi channel tests in the near future but the tests we do now do reveal if the amp has enough juice for multi channel applications. I am not familiar with the HTR5690. However, if its from the same model year and carries the same retail price, its...

Um yea thats why we have this HUGE disclaimer on the main loudspeaker product review page on our site :rolleyes: : http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/index.php Disclaimer Our reviews are based on subjective listening tests and objective analysis. We do our best to define the...

At this point you have two practical options: 1) use active equalization to cut the low frequency bass modes 2) add an additional sub along with #1

The T30-LSE have significant more bass extension and slam than the original T2p system b/c of the new high excursion subs as well as 25% more box volume since its all one cabinet design. The T30's also have a more airy and focused soundstage than the T2p system. Its definately a significant...

Because they are freakin cool and I liked them :D RBH will likely offer a dual cabinet version much like the original T2p system sometime down the road.

Mind you that is with 2 subwoofers. All; As you may have gathered, Ken doesn't have a lot of experience reviewing budget consumer gear. Considering he builds his own speakers, his expectations of performance is higher than many of our reviewers. That being said, in speaking with...

The T30-LSE speaker system is certainly one of the most impressive speaker systems I've ever heard. Too bad they are only making 100 pairs of them which I believe they already sold nearly a dozen at the show. As amazing as they are you do need to have the appropriate room for them. If your...

The Pioneer 1016 looks like another winner and with HDMI switching. Difficult choices :) http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069809_316743263_tab=B,00.html?compName=PNA_V3_ProductDetailsComponent

That could be caused by having the bass level set too high in your system, and/or too much gain at low frequencies between your main speakers and your sub. If you are playing your main speakers full range as well as also having a dedicated sub, it gets tricky to calibrate and you may have too...

Most auto correction systems built into receivers aren't very good, with the exception to Audyssey which can be great if used properly. Don't let this be a deciding factor for your purchasing decision, especially at this price. The RX-V659 is a class leading product at its price point and will...

Sounds like you are dealing with a room node. However as an experiment, defeat the bass management of your processor by setting the crossover to 200Hz and seeing if the node from 55-75Hz goes away. If not, try repositioning your sub to the front center wall of the room. You may need to...

The RX-V659 is class leading in features and power at this price point. As for ACD Test, I suggest you read the following: http://www.audioholics.com/techtips/audioprinciples/amplifiers/ACDTEST.php

typo, good catch thanks. :D

We have covered this topic to death in our forums and even in our reviews. Mid to top end receivers from the likes of Yamaha, Denon, Pioneer Elite, Integra, etc offer excellent preamp outs these days comparible and sometimes better than dedicated separate pre/pros. For example, the preamp...

Not quite but thanks for the compliment. You should have seen me 30lbs and 5 years ago when bodybuilding was as much of a passion of mine as audio. Its so hard to build muscle (at least for me), but so easy to lose it :confused:
