Paul; I have only a few cables from Acoustics research. 1) Not so well designed speaker cables with conductor spacing too far out 2) Video cables with RFI clamps on them - very pretty, but kinda dumb to add that on a cable, especially a video cable since it will increase inductance and can...

Howie, not a bad idea. Thanks.

The AV123 sub review will be posted by the first of the month.

Sadly we never get feedback from winners of our contest programs. It appears they win and disappear. It took us 2 tries to find a winner (the first person didn't even bother to call us back!) for the EP500 and the second person we found acted surprised as if he didn't even remember he entered...

I would use caution when using the auto EQ of this receiver, as well as the Yamaha and Pioneer equivalents. So far the only system we found to have enough precision and accuracy for room EQ above 100Hz is the new Audyssey system found in the Denon AVR-5805 and 4806. The other auto eq's are...

We are testing a few of their speakers and are coming out with a review of one of their subs shortly. Stay tuned....

John, good point, but I am sure it will eventually get approved for ver 1.3. I will check with Denon to see what they say. Franchot, yes it is quite faded, more so than the pair of 10 year old Jeans collecting dust in my closet :D

We figured for around $2k people would get more bang for their buck with the chairs rather than moderate acoustics treatment. Most acoustics treatment at this price level are best left to natural treatments such as throw rugs, furniture, bookcases, etc, unless you build them yourself, but thats...

RBH speakers will go in our 50k recommended system coming soon. They don't have a replacement series to the one we recommended in the 12k system at this time.

You can't always go by published distortion measurements since you may not be comparring apples to apples. Check out our article Product Managing Receiver Platforms for more info. There is more to amplifier performance than a simple THD test into a resistive load. If you are comparing...

Actually 80Hz is not localizable. What you are likely hearing is excessive bass energy b/c of the subwoofer and main speakers are combining bass energies (up to 6dB) at the frequencies they are both reproducing. Also, regarding the article you pointed out is not entirely accurate. Most well...

Page 2 of my RX-Z9 Review explains the heat issue.

AV_Phile; That is a good question and certainly a topic worth writing an article on. Now if only I had the time :( Bottom line on interconnects is to select a cable with the lowest possible capacitance and you will be fine. I usually recommend Coax with dual braid/foil shield such as...

I would NOT purchase this piece from an unauthorized dealer. Try negotiating with an authorized dealer to reduce the price a bit or give you something free. Saving $500-1000 on a $6k piece this sophisticated and complex is not worth in IMO. You should also buy this product from a company that...

I will be using the same 10AWG cable from Bluejeans on the prewiring of my new home for the very reasons you guys selected it: UL listed, low gauge, and measures well. Now if only we can integrate the GLOB technology on it, it would truly be a high end cable :rolleyes:

Matt; IF you are already using decent 12AWG cable, don't waste your time biwiring, especially for the rear speakers. You will throw unnecessary money away on cable, make your setup more cluttered, double the capacitance load on the amp, and achieve no real audible benefit. Biwiring is one...

Sounds like he needs more fiber in his diet :) I have a theory that most audiophiles diets are out of balance which is why they are always trying to lower the bloatiness in their systems. Perhaps they eat too much chocolate since they love chocolatey midrange :) Ok I will stop now.

A solid transport is certainly an important attribute of a CD/DVD player. However, weight alone doesn't necessarily guarantee a great one. When I get my DVD-5910 for review I will go over all of this as I intend to do a very thorough review of this product and not just focus on video nitpicks...
