Thanks Ed. Your CEA data makes a lot more sense based on the frequency response curve Brent published. Also, I thought it would be interesting to compare 2 meter peak data between the PB-12NSD to the HSU VTF-15H we reviewed. Here is what I come up with when all peak data is translated to 2...

Our site search sucks. WE are working on replacing it with a Google Site search instead. Thanks for pointing it out however. WE are planning a revamp of Audioholics by mid next year.

There are only 2 websites testing per CEA, us and S&V. Sadly Brent's #s haven't been very accurate and he is not open minded enough to even discuss them. We aren't perfect but we do have our data peer reviewed by the manufacturers prior to publishing. We've tested dozens of subs under CEA...

You make great points. I seriously doubt a single one of those cables have even been sold on the E-store. I will ask the E-store admins to either remove those products or make it more clear that its JPS opinion and not something we endorse. The E-store is simply copying and pasting product...

Brents #s are NOT at all what SVS has reported on their PB12-NSD sub. I trust SVS #s b/c they are always within 1dB of what we get. I looked at Bretts #s more closely for the HSU VTF-15H and SVS PB12-NSD. He claims both data are 2 meter yet his HSU #s at 2 meter are higher than ours at 1...

Gotta hand it to Jerry, he created a list of companies he wanted to solicit advertising from and sent each of them awards for making their top 25 list. Their is no objective parameters to their ratings for their list but it sure looks impressive scrolling on their website. :D

Haha that is stupid funny. I am sure there is a buyer out there willing to take the plunge :eek:

I'm curious too. My sister-in-law ordered 2 of these subs for a system I am installing for her. She didn't want the HSU/Outlaw or SVS alternatives b/c she really liked the look of this sub. I will pull some groundplane measurements before I install them. I expect the HSU and SVS to spank...

a 300 watt rated Bash amp can typically produce that rated power for a few seconds but usually not much longer. Most don't have heat sinks on them. I've spoken to engineers in the field that design subs and they told me a typically rated 300 watt BASH amp will do about 150-200 watts long term.

The amp is rated for continuous power. BASH amps in comparison are typically rated 2X passed their continuous power rating. What matters is the type of output it can achieve which we shall see soon.

Or perhaps the caps were not easily readable b/c they were tightly packed into the receiver so we didn't comment. I would make an educated guess based on performance than this receiver has a very similar power structure to the RX-Z7 I reviewed which had 2 x 18,000uF 71V caps.

Our testing is far more sophisticated than using a watt meter. We run continuous and dynamic tests per CEA 2006 as you can see in our test report of the review in question. If the receiver didn't have adequate reserves for its stated wattage, the ripple voltage would have been poor. The power...

Josh Ricci is reviewing the X-Ref 12 for us as we speak. Review should publish by the beginning of December.

The Decimo's have a slightly upgraded Xover but all 3 speakers use the same drivers. The Decimo's have the most inert cabinet and smoothest front baffle of the 3. I directly compared the Decimo's to the 61-SE/R as I used to own a set of the latter speakers. They are very close, but the top...

What? Rush played a PT song? I'd like to see that.

that's a really good question. The only way to answer is when I actually get a pair to review and directly compare the two side by side. The Emotiva's use higher quality drivers but the EMP's have more drivers for more output, especially in the mids (MTM configuration). I suspect the...

Beautiful speakers man. GR Research makes some great stuff!

You will never find a crossover like this in an Emotiva product :D I say you can keep the magnetic grilles and wood finishes, just don't skimp on the stuff that people can't see that really affects performance- the guts inside!

Really? I haven't seen but I will look.

I spoke with Steve today but it was via his Cell which had terrible delay and not good for recording. We are going to reschedule after his tour. I offered to send him this list of questions but he's not into typing responses LOL. Anyways, it was cool to briefly talk to the guy whose music I...
