    Another S&V shootout: 3 Mid-Price AVR

    The 2600 is a class leading product and is the best amp section Yamaha put into a receiver for under $2k since I could remember. I am glad they continually improve amp quality with each new generation and listen to criticisms in our reviews, other press and installers. This is a company that...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    Please be patient until Mark Sanfilipo and I can publish a full test report of the Audyssey system. I am waiting on speakers which should be here in the next 30-45 days. Basically what I am saying is below 100Hz you will most likely achieve more accurate and predictable results with: 1)...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    Welcome to the wonderful world of Audioholics where upgrading and spending money never ends :) You don't have to have a separate EQ for each sub. Running both subs in mono off a single PEQ like the Velodyne SMS-1 or AV123 Rdes will do the trick nicely. Check out our review of the...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    Audyssey doesn't have a lot of resolution below 100Hz so a sub with a built in PEQ will be far more flexible. Realize EQing a sub will flatten a primary seated area and do almost nothing beneficial for other seated areas. This is why employing 2 subs is even better at smoothing out modal...

    REVIEW: Denon AVR-4306 Receiver with HDMI

    RE: Audyssey When I first tested Audyssey on my 5805 it didn't do anything below 100Hz. It was later confirmed there was an implementation problem on the 5805 and thus a new firmware was released to fix it. I received the new firmware right before moving and didn't have adequate time to...

    Genesis Reunion

    Haha agreed. Everytime I reflect on my favorite all time rock drum or guitar solos, I almost always come back to Genesis. Steve Hackett on guitar is a rarity in rock, especially today when the market is flooded with 2 chord rock. Phil/Chester put out incredible drum duets during the...

    Radiient Elara Speaker System Review

    Nobody said the speakers "suck". I guess you shouldn't draw that conclusion based on the fact that a $200 (Elara) pair of speakers isn't up to the performance standards of a $460 (Axiom M22) pair of speakers. And I can understand the potential for confusion. To be fair - it's the reader that...

    Poor QC: Toshiba MX195 56" 1080p DLP Display

    I am not surprised at this either. I originally got a Mitsubishi 1080p 52" DLP display that died after 1 month usage. Thus I switched to Toshiba. I also have a Sceptre 37" 1080p LCD that won't sync up properly with the OSD of my receiver. I am a bit annoyed by the lack of QC and...

    Poor QC: Toshiba MX195 56" 1080p DLP Display

    A few weeks ago I purchased a Toshiba MX195 1080p DLP Display. I was most impressed with the picture and sound quality and thought I found a killer display for my family room system. Two weeks later, the fan noise became unbearably loud while a high frequency switching power supply noise could...

    Onix SP3 Tube Integrated Amplifier Review

    Only if we ship the unit to my facility. Right now I am crammed with work so it won't likely happen anytime soon. However I predict the amp will have a high output impedance, and high distortion compared to solid state amps. You don't buy this amp for accuracy, you buy it for the sound of a...

    RBH T2/T3 - Anyone Listened to these?

    Yes that is true. We are looking forward to checking out the new loudspeakers from AV123. We were most impressed with their little $200/pr x-ls speakers and feel they are one of the best values on the market right now.
