Welcome to the loudspeaker/room interface, the most critical component in your system. It is not atypical to see a 20db roll off at 20kHz when at the listening position off axis to the main speakers. You may wish to recheck by placing the mic a meter or 2 away from the acoustic center of a...

Their component video cables are good enough for us to give them Product of the Year Award for 2004 We fully endorse the products that they sell. In fact the new home I am building will be wired exclusively with Bluejeans Cable if it means anything to ya.

TOSLINK has been found in some cases to be inferior to COAX not so much b/c of the cable itself, but the interface. The optical interface can be up to 10dB noisier than COAX. There was an article about this done by Panasonic or another manufacturer a few years ago and I will try to dig it up.

That is perplexing considering the unit we inspected when we were judges at EHX Show revealed two Ecores on the bottom of the unit. AVR-5805 I will let you know next week at CES for sure. Thanks for the photo.

Between the two speakers you are comparing, the Infinity is a better choice if you desire a speaker with higher linearity, smoother frequency response and greater accuracy. If you want higher SPL levels for partiess or you just like to blast your neighbors out, go for the Klipsch.

There is no dramatic difference between a toroidal transformer and a conventional transformer. Both work in same way. Basically the difference is just the mechanical form of the transformer. The main difference is that the traditional transformer and toroidal transformer are wound to a...

Both are good amps and are integrated into our reference systems. The Parasound will deliver more power in low impedance loads than the Integra Research. If you need more power, you may wish to consider the Parasound.

They only offer this option in limited production to select dealers. RBH doesn't really have a big marketing budget unfortunately so very few people realize the value that they offer.

Mark; I hope its not the AR cable that has about 1/2" space between conductors like the ones we previously reviewed here . If so, I recommend ditching it and replacing with some good 10AWG Zip cord or Canare 4S11.

I had the prototype 1266-SER in my reference system for 4 years prior to upgrading to the T-2 System. In one word, Phenominal! I originally proposed that RBH upgrade the standard Signature series product with Status drivers since the form factor of the two products were identical. They took...

I am pretty sure about the 132,000uF as per Denons specs ;) AVR 5805 Feature Sheet They are not using torroids despite what the data sheet says, they went back to dual Ecore xformers for space reasons. Don't forget this sucker has 10 amps. In most cases the user will be using only 7 of...

Mark; Its actually best to keep your video and audio interconnects as short as possible. Long speaker cable runs aren't an issue if you use sufficient gauge (10AWG or so). However, I am still more into option#1 as I like to see my gear up front, but thats just me. Make sure you use quality...

This system will work its way into entry level receivers and HTIB solutions very soon. I agree most people wont fork over $6k for a flagship receiver, but about about $1k for a HTIB system that actually sounds decent? Finally a solution to properly integrate the subs and satellite speakers!

The new AVR-5805 has dual power xformers and over 132,000uF of power supply capacitance, THX Ultra2 certification, and a hefty 90+lbs so yes it should be able to power just about any speaker load in a 3,000 cu ft room with no problems. Don't be caught up with the misnomer of receivers not being...

Currently Denon has implemented this technology in their new AVR-5805 flagship ($6000) and it will also likely show up in their AVR-4806. Yes is does equalize the subwoofers, independently infact! It will optimize the crossover setting, phase, splice between sub and center channel, 512 tap...

Amazing not one comment on this article, meanwhile if this was about cables, this thread would be packed. WAke up folks! :confused:

Leigh; That is b/c DVD-A/SACD are 5.1 channel formats. However, I believe you can engage PLIIX Music Mode to get 7.1 surround for these modes. Go into the surround setup menu and enable PLIIx for the EXT In/I.link mode.

Please let us know which topics you have the hardest time digesting and would like us to cover more thoroughly.

Actually 60-75% of dialog comes from the center channel, not all of the movie information. Its not surprising you are finding average power per channel being only a watt or so. Most of the time your amps will be in idle, consuming very little power, especially given todays highly sensitive...
