    Yamaha RX-A3000 Aventage 11.2 Networking A/V Receiver Review

    Check the tables again. I did 0.1% for continuous fullbandwidth tests and 1% for ACD or burst tests. This is likely how I will do it going forward to simplify the data and also be more inline with how consumers typically see power measurements in other magazines.

    Yamaha RX-A3000 Aventage 11.2 Networking A/V Receiver Review

    As a fellow RX-Z7 owner, I have no plans/desire to swap out my unit for an RX-A3000 but I also could care less about 3D support. The Z7 is wired to 4 zones of audio in my home and its too much of a hassle to swap it out for a product that basically does everything my Z7 does with a few extra...

    Yamaha RX-A3000 Aventage 11.2 Networking A/V Receiver Review

    Yes but if I were you, I would run all subs via the dual subouts in mono crossed over at 80Hz. Read: Calibration & Setup Techniques for Multi Subwoofer System

    He is getting paid for this and trust me this is a costly project for us one which I hope is worth the investment after everything is said and done.

    Yamaha RX-A3000 Aventage 11.2 Networking A/V Receiver Review

    The RX-A3000 has quite a large power transformer and big capacitor bank. They are using some pretty sophisticated output devices which I discuss in the review. The amp topology is Class ab just like all prior Yamaha receivers have been. All of this makes it possible for the unit to deliver...

    Yamaha ditches signature orange frontpanel display on new A/V receivers

    After our comprehensive review of the RX-A3000, and speaking with Yamaha about it, I voiced my disappointment of their movement away from their signature orange frontpanel displays on their latest A/V receivers. To me this was what really identified you had a Yamaha. Just wondering if anyone...

    Yamaha RX-A3000 Aventage 11.2 Networking A/V Receiver Review

    I haven't heard of any failures for the Z7 and I've been using one which works flawlessly since I did the original review. They fixed the processing bug I discovered shortly after I published my review but as far as I know there have not been any hardware issues.

    Emotiva UL12 Subwoofer

    This is a sub I just recently found out about that I plan on reviewing next year to compare to the Emo. It looks like it will give the Emo a run for its money! Well it's more expensive than the Emo but you get my drift :) http://svsound.com/products-sub-box-sb12nsd.cfm

    Emotiva UL12 Subwoofer

    The best constructed sub of the bunch is the JL f110 by a mile but its also very pricey. The Emo is built very well as you will see in our review.

    Emotiva UL12 Subwoofer

    As a teaser, I took all my 1 meter sinewave sweep tests for the UL12 and 3 other subs I recently reviewed and compared the data in tabulated form. Please note these are NOT max discrete SPL#'s like CEA2010 testing produces. Instead these are continuous fullbandwidth power sweeps that test for...

    Yamaha RX-A3000 Aventage Receiver VIDEO Preview

    Oh geez. The backpanel power rating is NOT a max power rating unless it states it. It's typically 2 channels driven at full rated power for 2CH amps/receivers so 140wpc x 2 + say 50 watts for processing / 0.5 eff = 660 watts but for multi channel receivers they typically run 1 channnel at...

    Emotiva UL12 Subwoofer

    I directly compared my measurements of this sub to: JL Audio f110 Axiom EP 400 Aperion Bravus 10D I used 1 meter groundplane RMS sinesweeps not CEA 2010 burst testing since we didn't develop a test procedure for that at the time I measured the other subs. All subs were measured using...
