If you properly place your height speakers and choose wide dispersion speakers, you shouldn't need to aim them. I typically install my top fronts + 20deg from MLP and my Top rears -20deg from MLP and I have flat and even dispersion across all my seats out to 20kHz. My back row suffers a bit but...

A great song is a powerful tool and can be interpreted many different and entertaining ways. Cover songs can be equally powerful, meaningful, and a creative tool for a performer. While you might not own the songwriting, what if you are running low in the creative department and need an avenue to...

The tower-style Monolith M-210 dual 10-inch subwoofer ($1,299.99) and M-212 dual 12-inch subwoofer ($1,799.99) provide double the power and double the woofers, without taking up double the floor space. These THX-Certified Ultra subwoofers deliver bass down to 16Hz in rooms of up to 3000 cubic...

agreed the new Yamaha model nomenclature gets me cross eyed like when you stare too long and their oversized volume knob. :)

Yamaha RX-V6A is their lower end units. I actually bench tested the RX-A6A and found measurable issues that Yamaha and others would have likely missed: https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/yamaha-rx-a6a It's an advantage to have an 8CH HDMI Audio Analyzer as I've found most 3rd...

The fact that you can design filters manually now is a big deal to me. The phone App was very difficult to use. I will soon be testing MultEQ-X on my Perlisten speaker system to see if it "improves" the sound of this system. What I most need help with is below 300Hz and confident this software...

All this proved to me is that Danny is good at making clever test that he controls to "convince" reviewers of his narrative. This Vinyl guy doesn't strike me as a technical person and the fact that he didn't have an independent party run the test makes this a nice anecdotal experience with no...

I put the latest generation of Anthem AV receivers, namely the MRX 740 and MRX 1140 models through my bench tests in this report. The MRX 740 retails for $2,899 and has 11 channels of processing with 7 channels of amplification (140wpc x5, 60wpc x2) while the MRX 1140 retails for $4,000 and has...

I dunno, they are opening up their software so you can set your own target curves and do full manual EQ for each channel. Seems like a win to me.

Join us for a livestream event this Wednesday at 9pm Eastern to be the first to learn about a new companion accessory to Audyssey’s recently announced MultEQ-X room-correction software. We will be joined by Audyssey’s Jeff Clark, who will offer a deep-dive into the MultEQ-X solution, with an...

NAD’s new Classic Series C 399 integrated amp ($1,999) features tech previously found only in the brand’s more expensive Masters Series amps. The C 399 delivers 180 watts of nCore amplification, and its built-in DAC uses the same ESS chip as the brand’s flagship M33. The optional streaming...

Sure. Keep your existing speakers if you're happy with them and add 4 in-ceiling speakers for Atmos.

Audioholics President Gene DellaSala doesn’t like it when I talk politics, but I do it when I have to, and this is one of those times. Too many AV enthusiast websites are so milk toast and advertiser ass-kissers that it makes me sick as a former publisher in the industry. Somebody has to tell...

Movie watching has changed over the years. Some people go every day, while others wouldn't be caught dead in a commercial theater. How we watch movies, and how many times poses an interesting question. Is it time to dump the silver disc and embrace streaming? We give our thoughts on the subject...

Yes. I'm working on that. Hopefully by next month.

Jerry Del Colliano is back posing a very interesting question that audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts should reflect on and answer. What are we really buying when we really open up the checkbook? Not all AV components are equal, not by a long margin. Some are huge. Others are so small...

Yes it's a scam. Some dickbag is spamming our account. I've blocked them several times. You will ONLY get contacted from an Audioholics email address AFTER March 31st IF you're the winner.

Sorry about that. It's been difficult to organize international contests with our partners. We still love ya tho ;)

HECO owners, please leave us your comments on the brand and thoughts on the speakers. We're looking forward to doing some reviews in the future.
