    Marantz SR8012 11.2CH IMAX Enhanced AV Receiver Review

    I can probably ask Denon for a measurement and validation of that. I've actually been talking to them about doing this on the SR8012 replacement.

    Marantz SR8012 11.2CH IMAX Enhanced AV Receiver Review

    Review yes, but no bench tests. I suspect the 8005H will put out a good 10-15% more power than the 8012 and measure categorically as good or better in every other regard.

    Marantz SR8012 11.2CH IMAX Enhanced AV Receiver Review

    I found a few operational hiccups with Audyssey editor App that Denon/Marantz claim to be working on for the next update. I will wait till that's released and will test and report back then.

    Marantz SR8012 11.2CH IMAX Enhanced AV Receiver Review

    Yamaha build quality on CX-A5200 is top notch and PEQ receiver editor is really useful. Great processor for $$$

    Marantz SR8012 11.2CH IMAX Enhanced AV Receiver Review

    Yea DD S3 was just so amazing. I was devastated when I heard Netflix pulled the plug. If you're limiting your speaker configuration to 11.2 or 7.1.4, I'd get the Yamaha CX-A5200. If you want 13.2 or 7.1.6, get the Marantz AV8805.

    Do Dolby Dimension Headphones Offer Unique Features Over Competition?

    Dolby’s legacy has always been tied to technological advancements licensed and used by other hardware manufacturers — first in recording studio gear, then in movie theaters, and later in home entertainment products like AV receivers and blu-ray players. Now for the first time in Dolby’s 54-year...

    Upgraded to Immersive Sound with RBH SI-615 Atmos Speakers

    While I love reviewing new floorstanding super towers from RBH Sound, I also recognize in-walls represent a big chunk of their Custom Integrator business. RBH has recently introduced their SI-615 in-ceiling speaker as a sonic match to their Signature Box speaker products. The SI-615 in-ceiling...

    Captain Marvel

    I'm so F'ing sick of the feminist agenda being interjected into many films and TV series today. Those that know me know that I'm socially liberal, fiscally conservative. Hollywood is out of control, even by my standards. Even my 11yo daughter recognizes how bad this is when we try to watch...

    Will Star Trek Discovery Get Cancelled?

    I guess we will see gow the dust settles but those concept of Tardigrade Mushroom drive is as ridiculous as the transporter in JJ Trek that can go across the universe. Warp drive just isn't fast enough for the piss poor writing of this show or Into Lameness movie.

    Will Star Trek Discovery Get Cancelled?

    Considering that game predates STD and has similar elements, I disagree. Also interesting how quickly STD abandoned the whole tardigrade plot, coincidence? I think not.

    Will Star Trek Discovery Get Cancelled?

    Will Star Trek Discovery Get Cancelled?

    It's a fan service gimmick. Spock has been in plenty of Trek prior. The writers can't come up with new ideas so they rehash old characters and rip off video games.
