Try changing the Display Mode in the OSD setup. Why would this system sway your speaker/acoustical treatment purchases? Audyssey is not a replacement for either. At best its a supplement. You still need good passive treatment for this system to perform optimally. That being said, the...

Their booth was a madhouse, especially since they had prime location. The 79 was the only new player they really focused on when I visited them. I will check their press releases to see if anything else is new.

Taking a look at the S&V 5CH amp measurements for the 2 Yammie receivers, it appears they both initiate their current protection at the same power delivery threshold. Without this feature, they would likely have to have larger heat sink area to meet UL or what they feel to be their own safety...

Sheep I wondered that myself but I believe the active Servo must help that out to some extent. Also, since its oval shaped, it doesn't have corners like a square woofer, so it shouldn't suffer those effect as much. Don't forget anytime you put speakers in a wall, there are always compromises...

Kinda of silly to sell this unit b/c of one feature not working as expected. As I mentioned before to someone using the 5805 with a Velodyne DD18 sub, the Velodyne Software will likely yield much better results than Audyssey for bass correction. The receiver is still killer regardless. I will...

New Velodyne Inwall Sub Custom Installers - Start Drooling Now :)

Denon already has an Audyssey fix. The problem is it didnt upload correctly on my test unit. I am having Denon ship me a new 5805 with it uploaded but unfortunately I will be relocating next month and won't have our primary test lab built until late November. In all likelyhood we wont be able...

Actually with a linear amp and power supply, expect real world efficiency to be around 40%, including transformer losses, power factor correction, etc. Thus the consumed power would be 1250watts in this case or 10.4amp draw from the wall. This kind of draw will definately cause the line...

Here are some New Marantz Receivers SR9600 with XM SR4600/5600 and 7500/8500

Ditto. Tampa Airport just got wireless. Yet another reason why its my favorite airport :)

I strongly disagree with this generalization. Receivers are being packed with newer and better technologies at a much lower cost than separates. For example, there is no separates solution on the market in the same price class as the Denon AVR-5805 that can match its processing power...

Amen! MDS you just earned a chicklet :)

Please refer to our article: The All Channels Driven Controversy It's no more lying than a separates amplifier company claiming 200wpc x 7 utilizing a linear a/b amp and single power cord. Given typical efficiencies of linear amp designs, factoring in power supply losses and power factor...

Man that is some incredible story. I am glad it had a reasonably happy ending considering the odds. I hear you about health insurance. Ever since I have been self employeed I learned just how hard and how expensive it is to get decent health care in this country. I think it will eventually...

Its kinda hard to listen to a tweeter by itself. What I like about the Vifa's is their excellent power handling, great off axis response, ability to play low. With an 8" woofer you will need a tweeter with these characteristics IMO.

I'd look at a Vifa Silk Dome. They usually play lower than most others making them easier to integrate in a two way design. Their Aluminum dome is also very good but a bit harder to work with.

I saw that too and decisively flipped the channel to something far more entertaining -the Boomerang channel. There I watched the Tasmanian Devil try to capture Bugs Bunny for an afternoon lunch :)
