It's connected to my digital piano RN. I hope to measure it in a couple of weeks and do a YT video before CEDIA.

I did read Stereoreview as a teen growing up and remember it fondly, especially Julian Hirsch. I would need to see the test conditions and how distortion was measured. The 80s era receivers were pretty bad actually. I had a Pioneer that was speced at .008% THD+N that sounded like poop compared...

Yea that is true about bass extension on most modern towers. I think they will release a new unit, since this is limited production, to address my concerns.

Guys, reserve judgement until we measure them. Def tech made some good subs back in the day.

Definitive Technologies announced the release of their Descend Series subwoofers. The new line consists of four high-performance models ranging from 8" to 15" drivers and dual passive radiators designed to produce more impactful, dynamic, and extended bass response than with competitive brands...

Yea it is unfortunate to not have a sub out and disappointing to NOT have preouts. I had a hard time with this but I suspect most people buying this unit will be pairing it with a pair of towers.

Yep the horizontal MTM doom is overstated. If you stay within a +-20deg window of a well designed MTM, you will be fine. see: https://www.audioholics.com/loudspeaker-design/center-channel-speaker

Tidal’s library of MQA-encoded music has just grown significantly. Millions of new tracks have been added from Warner Music Group’s extensive catalog, giving Tidal the largest selection of MQA music outside of China. But just because it’s MQA, that doesn’t mean it’s sourced from...

There is no stopping the video game industry at this point. Kids are raised on games. Older Gen Xers like me are also fond of gaming at some level or other, be it vintage games, mobile games, or today’s most cutting-edge titles. Global revenues from the video game business is expected to be up...

The industry of audio electronics and speakers is a great industry. I was fortunate enough to spend virtually my entire working career in consumer electronics but how did I get here and what did I learn along the way? In this article Steve Feinstein talks about his experiences, including...

I'm going to be testing the RX-A6A soon. I'm not in a race with AMIR as I have way too much going on with the AHSmarthome to be as efficient as he is at generating content ;)

Weird, I swear I read differently when it first posted. Thanks.
