Macman; you seem to love arguing. Perhaps if you designed magnetics for a living like I used to before doing Audioholics, you would realize that b/c of better materials these days one can design lighter weight cores of similar performance to ones 20-30% larger a few decades ago. Really and...

Materials have changed, such as core material in transformers, winding methods, dielectric materials in caps, board layers, power supply topologies, amplifier topologies, etc. Wood is heavier than stamped sheet metal too ;) of course if you're happy with 70's style receivers and vintage...

thus the reason why we write articles which apparantly few of our forum members get a chance to read: Product Managing Receiver Platforms also using the weight analogy isn't always applicable if you aren't comparing apples to apples. The old vintage receivers from 70/80s had all wooden...

well obviously you can't but considering the LFE track has little to no content below 20Hz that shouldn't be an issue ;)

they actually contacted us to review it and we declined. If i need more subsonic bass in my room, I could always decouple the air intake from my air handler in my primary home theater room :rolleyes:

Lets also not forget that the Muslin religion didn't attack us. a group of extremists under the guise of that religion did. True muslims are pacifists just like most religions until someone perverts its meaning.

Sounds like you would be much happier reading consumer reports. I recommend you subscribe there, from what I can remember it isn't that expensive and they have nice 1-2 paragraph reviews that objectively analyze products :rolleyes: Ah more false assumptions again. You know the old saying...

if you are already happy with your AVM 30 then why upgrade? How about addressing something that will clearly make an audible difference like your room :rolleyes:

Um, not quite, read this thread: http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14222

Actually by FTC mandate, receiver power has to be rated into 2 channels. Thus the published spec from Yamaha is guaranteed for at least 2 channels driven, though I have usually found them to exceed their ratings in that capacity and thats without holding the line voltage up either ;)

I am sure that has no relation to the margins of the products they are selling either :rolleyes:

If you have any technical sense than I don't need to back up my statement about the Audio Precision Test sweep. Its a fact. Companies like HT Magazine use that test. Its a useful test, but NOT representative of a continuous power test. As for the rail fuse and regulation, read the...

Good joke :)

That rating is based on a UL/IEC Standard (not sure which one) where 2CH driven at max power while all other channels driven at 1/8th power. Its NOT a max power consumption rating for the receiver.

6dB voltage difference [20*log[(V2/V1)] 3 dB power difference [10*log(P2/P1)] typically when you measure/publish SNR its with respect to a certain voltage level so that is why I related to the 6dB difference. By simply working the power #'s into terms for voltage (P = V^2/R) while doing...

Many folks fail to realize the laws of diminishing returns happen rather quickly with electronics. Many of the exotic brands are simply repackaging less sophisticated electronics in a fancy box and pawning them off as Separates solutions. What is even more amazing is that people are...

Yes that is true since high end is usually equated to high price :rolleyes:

Actually I am done for now. Some people are still missing the point and starting new threads. Ignorance is bliss sometimes :rolleyes:
