Please re-read my last post. I said to compare the RXV-4600 Measurements NOT the 2600. Clint did the 2600 measurements on an Oscope and function generator which is not as precise as my Audio Precision. Anything beyone 2Vrms out of the preamp section is mostly academic since most amps will...

Power consumption rating on receivers is usually not MAX figure. Its usually with 2 channels at full power and the others at 1/8th.

You can directly compare my measurements (Freq response, SNR, Distortion)of the DMC-1 and Yamaha RX-V4600. The 2600 preamp section is actually an improvement on the 4600 since it can output over 4Vrms unclipped as opposed to around 1.7Vrms of the 4600.

No I don't say that. I do however feel it is a match for any preamp in the $3k or less price category with respect to performance, bass management, and feature set. That depends on a # of factors including room size, speaker type, listening preferences, room characteristics. More power...

Yes with all the gear you play with, you owe it to yourself to check their stuff out. I think you will be most impressed.

That is good advice and yes they are all great products with their own associated strengths and weaknesses. The DMC-1 and MPS-1 is a great combo, one to be very proud of. I am a big fan of the MPS-1 which is why I use it in my family room system :D

Which Yamaha were you comparing it too? How did you level match the two processors? Did you have the same bass management settings, speaker delay settings, trim calibrations, etc? I don't doubt your listening preference as much as the method you used to compare the two units.

I wholeheartedly disagree. This is an old stereotype that "separates" must be better which simply isn't true. The preamp sections in many of today's receivers such as the Yamaha RX-V2600, Denon AVR-2807,etc and up are top notch and give up nothing in performance when compared to dedicated...

Yes the 2600 would be my pick for best A/V processor under $3k, though some may prefer using a dedicated pre/pro from the same manufacturer as their amp to match them aesthetically. Also, the 2600 runs hot even in idle which is a consideration for those with limited rack space for venting it.

Actually its $4,177 for the system as configured and based on that price we have found them to be as good as the ratings indicate. This isn't sound reinforcement or a disco. These arent white van speakers with multiple 10" woofers thrown into a cheesy particle board cabinet to yield...

The 1266s will still work well even if they are placed 5 or 6 inches off the backwall. Any chance you can push them off the wall a bit? Otherwise, you may have to resort to stuffing them with BIG socks :D

You can't do that b/c the crossover for the 1266 is different. You can however upgrade the 1266's to 1266 SE/R's. You should call RBH and find out what is involved. Best case scenario its as simple as swapping out the drivers. Worst case scenario you have to change out the crossover and...

Actually they have a combination of poly fill and dacron insulation. The pic you are viewing was of just the cabinet with nothing in it as noted in the review.

Boost to Evolution Interesting article on proof of ancestor human skull: Skull Article

You obviously read the title of the article, but likely not its content, the references and endorsements by many pros in the industry as to why this happens. It is deliberate! I suggest reading the article in its entirety, examining the measurements and related links within the article...

Wow 13+ pages in a few days. I must admit I only skimmed this thread but see a few red flags. 1) The null around 50Hz is likely attributed to mic position relative to the subwoofer or another room anomaly. I'd advise you to swap the subs and retake the measurements, and/or do a quick...

I am not sure why you wouldn't follow the recommendation of the manufacturer. If they tell you the M80 won't work well in your room, believe them and go with a more appropriate model.

Great points! Thanks for the feedback.
