That's not always true as I've found from the last few Rush CD's as well as some Jazz music. We have several articles on this site discussing hyper compression and the current trends of how the digital media is being abused by cranking the levels to 0dBFS and higher. I believe I linked to them...

Agreed on all accounts. I am not a huge metal fan either and until Porcupine Tree, the hardest music I would listen to was King Crimson and Yes. There is still nothing like the old Prog Rock from the 70s IMO, but Porcupine Tree does captivate you and immerse you in the story and feel of their...

While they have a similar driver compliment, the EMP's don't compare to the RBH SX/R series of speaker. The EMP's are fine speakers for the money, but the RBH's are in a different league. The RBH's use a Scan Speak 9500 series tweeter which is arguably one of the best soft dome tweeters ever...

I have a hard enough time dicing up veggies when making an omelet meanwhile this Swedish guy is splitting atoms in his kitchen. :eek: http://news.yahoo.com/swedish-man-caught-trying-split-atoms-home-153341057.html

Digital Drive Plus line is now available I noticed today Velodyne is offering their DD+ line online for sale so I updated the article accordingly. See: http://velodyne.com/vproducts/series.aspx?seriesid=1235

It's not really clear how Velodyne will support their existing Dealer network. If they lower MSRP of their products online, I suspect their dealers won't be happy. If they don't lower MSRP, they won't be competitive with other online subwoofer brands. This is a perplexing situation that I am...

The last page of this article discusses what the power# on the back of a receiver really means Receiver Impedance Switch

No typically 1CH driven and the others at 1/8th driven. If the power rating on the back of the receiver doesn't say "Max power" than its NOT a Max power rating.

wow alot of misinformation here. I suggest reading this article to help clear some things up: The All Channels Driven Test

After long discussions with Josh, I decided to bump the Bassaholic rating up +2dB to make it a bit harder to earn. So in this shootout only the Rythmik earned that rating.

After debating with Josh about using Peak or RMS data for our Room Size ratings, I decided on a compromise with Josh (something I wish our political parties in washington would do). We will go forward using Peak as I originally stated but I bumped the Bassaholic requirement up +2dB to make it a...

Kinda a senseless article comparing a dedicated two-channel receiver to a 7.1 receiver that has all the latest HD video and audio processing and certifications to have them. Of course amp quality will suffer when trying to keep within a budget and offer all of these features. How could this be...

I never cared for Captain America but this movie looks good. I loved Iron Man and Thor so I will give this one a whirl over the weekend!

I'm on the fence about bench testing a 3010 since it will likely test as well or slightly better than an RX-Z7 which I exhaustively tested already. Wouldn't you guys rather see a different brand/model bench tested instead?

The idea is more about the output level achieved being above reference designating Bassaholic. I based it somewhat loosely on Ultra2 Spec which is 115dB into a 3,000ft^3 room though the THX spec is much easier to meet than ours b/c they test the sub at a much closer distance and don't have such...

The #s are taken from 2 meter GP data and scaled to 1/8th space (corner loaded) 4 meter. Thus our assumption is the average listener will corner load their sub and sit about 4 meters from it in the room. 115dB is a peak reference level intended by the recording studio. It can go as high...

no comments on this thread. really??? Where are all the sub enthusiasts and critics when you need them ?! :D

7.1 audio support only nothing higher...
