Dan here is the response to your question directly from Mike from APC The PF strongly depends on a number of factors including the Diode Conduction Angle. The PF and Diode Conduction Angle are affected by: AC Voltage Waveshape (Voltage on the Primary) Governed by: Impedance of the...

Anyone wanna spend even more on an esoteric processor that doesn't even support HDMI :confused:

I wonder if you also had/have a productive career as a Professional Whistler?

Be very careful when you confront these guys. I had a couple of them confront me on their speakers and I respectfully said I wasnt interested. They persisted and I finally told them I am in the industry and I know all about Street speakers. One man said, "What our stuff isn't good enough for...

Ok let's get back to the topic of speaker break in and put the cable snake oil debacle on hold for now. I just pinged a reliable industry source who does some of the most definitive research in loudspeakers on this very topic and here is what they had to say: So it appears to me that if you...

Measured data on what, speaker cable break in? Hmm since I have over 100k worth of test gear to measure cables, along with a fairly decent EE background with a BSEE, I think I have a basic understanding of electrical theory and it applies to cables. Perhaps you should do a little reading...

Danny; It's kinda hard to take anything you say seriously when you promote speaker cable break in. If one can't even get the basics of wire correctly, then everything else is left to chance. :rolleyes: http://www.gr-research.com/components/wire.htm

The only way a power cord can make an audible difference is if it is connected to a poorly designed esoteric amplifier. Filtering should be done in the amp's power supply or with a power conditioner, NOT a cable. It's like trying to place a band aid on an open wound instead of stitching it...

Priceless :D

Those are awesome $0.75 tweeters :D I love the stamped metal basket woofers too. If these speakers sold for $125/pair they would be a great value. I am not sure why they have an electrolytic cap in parallel with one of the tweeters. I have to see the rest of the crossover to know whats...

Are you having HDMI problems with your cable box and the 2600 or your actual display and the 2600? If its the cable box, here is why: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21194 Otherwise if you are experiencing HDCP issues, check to make sure your display is HDCP...

Perhaps you haven't looked hard enough at our reviews page. We have numerous reviews on budget receivers, HTIB's, DVD players and speakers. Look at the Pioneer, Helios, and Oppo reviews here: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/index.php and the numerous HTIB systems...

I am intimately familiar with your speakers and despite that they have output in the 20Hz range, they are NOT full range speakers. They cannot output high SPL's in the 20-40Hz range like good dedicated subwoofer can, nor are they supposed to. Yes if you set the speakers to large, the receiver...

You probably need to spend more time on optomizing your subwoofer placement and finding the right crossover frequency for your system. None of the speakers in your system are full range and by setting them large you are likely smoothing out a null but at the expense of doubling up bass at...

All sound in small rooms suffer from standing waves :rolleyes: Using chirp tones simply masks them (it doesn't eliminate them) since they lack the resolution of conventional test tones. One should never use an SPL meter to do frequency response testing since the meter itself is very...

HDMI Ver 1.3 is the only way you will be able to transmit the new high res formats in the digital domain and have you processor/receiver do all of the processing and bass management.
