    Reference System 2

    oh and i forgot to mention 2 HDMI cables. Yea I was thinking about having them build a wooden frontpanel that protrudes slighly but also has ability to be readily opened incase I need to make changes or fix a faulty termination. In any event, my electrical subcontractor told me they could run...

    Reference System 2

    actually I am going with RBH's new Status line. My head is still spinning from the demo I had during my visit to them. In my family room system I am using RBH LSE products with the Axiom EP500 and in my bedroom system I am using all RBH MC inwalls, including subs. Outdoors in front will...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    T; If I had a dime for every mistake I have made, I have been able to retire before I became a teenager ;) Just realize that at price constraints of many of these receivers, heat sink area, power devices and power supplies are at a premium and design compromises are almost a certainty. In...

    Reference System 2

    Upgrading is quite an understatement. My builder is nearly complete on my new home which has over 10k feet of a/v cable run to support 3 complete home theater rooms, distributed home audio as well as front yard and back yard with subwoofers! Now i have to figure out how they will terminate...

    THE ALL CHANNELS DRIVEN FALLACY

    While I understand that is your belief, it is unfortunately untrue. The similar priced HK receivers are no more capable at driving 4 ohm speakers than Denon or Yamaha models. That being said, we have shown good results on mid-priced Yamaha and Denon receivers driving 4-ohm speakers of...

    Outlaw 755 Amplifier Review

    Actually their power measurements with 6 channels driven far exceed what an 1800watt circuit can provide. Notice they are using a VARIAC and even blew a fuse in it to run their test. I have a hard time believing their 6CH 4 ohm test of 320wpc. This is unlikely to be a continuous test...

    Bowflex Users?

    Ain't that the truth. I remember my 135lb weightlifting coach in PE class in high school that forced us to pryamid and max out on bench. I instead told him to tell me his best max and I would do it 10 times ;) Such moronic mentality people have about weightlifting. It reminds me of the ALL...

    Bowflex Users?

    Sheep; I am not a fan of Pyramiding. Its more of an ego thing. Personally if you can't do 8-10 reps of the weight you are training with, then its too much weight ;) In my power lifting days, I used to bench 405lbs 2-3 reps. But after a a couple of years of powerlifting my joints began...

    Bowflex Users?

    try a wider gripe and focus on making your back do the pulling, not your arms. Make sure you are flexing your back muscles when pulling and stay in an upright position when releasing the weight back to rest each time. You can't help work other muscle groups when focusing on one particular, but...

    Bowflex Users?

    I have never been a fan of exercise machines for several reasons: 1) they are too linear 2) they are too restrictive 3) they are just not natural feeling the further you depart from free weights (dumbells usually preferred), the less muscle fibers you recruit to do the exercise since you...

    Audio Standards - From a n00b Perspective

    THX is not a bad idea for receivers/processors. Though I am not a fan of THX post processing, these type of products sporting THX rarely have bass management issues. In addition, they also tend to measure very well. OTOH, I would NOT consider THX a "must have" when shopping for speakers...

    Yamaha 2600 v 4600

    I am not sure since we don't yet have our review sample. Regardless, the deinterlacing can be bypassed which it probably should if you have a quality DVD player or front projector.l The 4600 is a great receiver and if you don't need the HDMI feature of the 2600 than go for the 4600...

    Yamaha 2600 v 4600

    Really? How did you come to that conclusion? Did you measure it? Well I did (see power measurements) and found it to do 116wpc at 8 ohms 175wpc at 4 ohms, 2 channels driven at 0.1% distortion without holding the line voltage constant. In addition, it had a very low output impedance (under...

    Advice on purchasing Paradigm or Infinity speakers

    you may wish to peruse this rather old but still useful bookshelf speaker face off we did a few years ago. I am still looking for a bookshelf speaker, regardless of price that can outperform the RBH Sound 61-LSE's. These speakers particularly excel in classical music and music with a lot of...
