If your primary concern is true 20Hz extension at meaningful output levels, get the SVS PB12 Plus DSP or the Rythmik FV-15HP we recently reviewed. The Emo 12 is designed to be small, cheap and powerful but it rightly limits output down to 20Hz to keep the product clean and stress free.

112dB is an in-room spec from Emotiva across the Freq spectrum. This is a small sub, it can't do that kind of output down to 20Hz. If you read our review, I list that as a con and also discuss it in the measurements section. Despite that, it still has the most output of any box of that size...

I actually trimmed it down to 17 pages in word. The images are huge that's why its so long. It will likely be 2-3 pages when published online late tonight or early AM tomorrow.

A majority of the products we review are from companies that don't advertise with us: IE SVS being the most recent, Fluance, Velodyne, etc. Paradigm is one of those companies that only sends us products for review when they also ran advertising with us. Hopefully they will advertise again with...

The difference is one review was written by a reviewer/marketing guy while our review was written by a guy that designs subs for a living whom very rarely sings praises for any products unless they are flawlessly engineered like the SVS sub he reviewed. His primary job aside from designing...

HSU Retested, review supplemental coming B/C of all the feedback we received on our HSU VTF-15H review both on our forums, AVS Forum and from HSU directly, Paul did a complete battery of measurements and just finished a 20 page test report that I am peering. We will be posting this after HSU...

I hate to plug the AH Estore, but the Minivee 10 is on sale for $799 there http://store.audioholics.com/product/2346/0/velodyne-minivee-10-subwoofer You can also probably get it on Amazon for the same price. I believe Velodyne is doing this special promo deal with all authorized dealers...

Most manufacturers take our review criticism seriously. Yamaha for example has made many changes in model replacements as a direct result of our comments. I don't need anyone to give me credit. My goal is for manufacturers to make better products that I'd want to own myself. Aperion's...

MMM the Status Titus are killer speakers. I have a pair of Decimos myself that I will take to my grave. Good luck.

Try a Velodyne MiniVee. Amazing little sub, well engineered and small. See my review: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/subwoofers/velodyne-minivee If you can go to 12.3" wide,I highly recommend the Velodyne MiniVee-10 instead. It's on sale for only $50 more than the MiniVee...

Since my review of the 10D and my criticism that dual drivers in such a small enclosure limits its extension, Aperion has redesigned it so that one driver is active and one is passive. See: http://www.aperionaudio.com/product/NEW-Bravus-II-10D-Powered-Subwoofer,274,66,812.aspx I suspect...

Flatter doesn't always mean better. A gradual rolloff at low F is usually preferred to a brickwall response like the Axiom has. You see very few sub companies doing that with their products b/c it tends to mess with transient response. Look at the SVS PB 12 Plus DSP sub response we recently...

It was painful to watch Slash come back on stage 10 years after doing nothing wearing the same attire and performing with a bunch of no talent a55 clowns. Way to evolve Slash!

The dumbing down of American culture can't not be more evident than this performance and the Sarah Palin Reality TV Show.

Regardless of how the Funkywave review turns out, Nathan (owner of Funkywaves) has been and extremely patient and cool headed person to deal with. He was the first to submit his product and unfortunately the last to get tested. For anyone considering purchasing a Funkywaves product, I...

Canton; Rythmik is a great sub. The piano black finish is to die for so enjoy what you have and be proud. WE found some issues with our review sub and Brian is doing an excellent job addressing them in production. Just think, future buyers of their sub will have a better product as a...

only b/c of the protection circuitry tripped during a continuous sinewave sweep which never occurs with real program material as you can see in our measurements that give you the BIGGER picture of the true performance of this receiver...

You know I think you may be right. I will correct. thanks.

I know this section of our site needs much updating. The problem is finding the time and dedicating our editorial staff to it. Sadly, this is one of the highest traffic areas of the site despite the fact we keep neglecting it. I asked Tom Andry to update the $5k and under systems for now. I...

Sorry but that is a tough pill to swallow (3-4 dB is alot, 1 dB maybe). Had that been the case, it should have been brought up prior to the measurements being conducted. We always desire to accurately reflect the true performance of products in our reviews to the best of our abilities...
