We actually have a very close working relationship with Harman,but why deny history or pretend it didn't happen?

After a stellar 14-year run, Oppo has announced that it will begin the process of ending manufacturing of new products. Customers needn’t worry, Oppo will continue to honor warranties and will even continue out-of-warranty repair while also providing periodic firmware updates for its current...

I disagree, and it's partly why some manufacturer's of Class D amplifiers are getting away with this. Other than a filter to prevent test equipment from reading distortion wrong, regardless of amplifier class, the amp should still be able to swing voltage at full BW for 8 and 4 ohm loads...

I've seen prior class D amps from them rating power ambiguously like the example,cited in this article. If they update their specs with full disclosure of power and bandwidth with both channels driven, I'd be happy to update the article. There is no excuse to NOT have this information readily...

I have no boxes. Sorry.

This is feedback I received from this article by Bill Dudleston of Legacy Audio who gave me permission to post in this thread:

I am in Tampa Florida. They are almost 5 years old but I can't imagine getting the amp fixed would cost more than $1-200 tops. Well worth it.

MSRP: $3500/pair Asking Price: $950/pair I am selling a pair of Emotiva XPR-1 1kwatt monoblock amplifiers that are physically in great shape. This is the best, most powerful amplifier Emotiva has made to date. One of the XPR-1s works 100% flawlessly while the other stopped turning on recently...

Here is my FTC article: https://www.audioholics.com/audio-amplifier/ftc-consumer-audio

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) purpose is to investigate and prevent deceptive trade practices. In 1974, the FTC instituted its Amplifier Rule to combat the unrealistic power claims made by many hi-fi amplifier manufacturers. However, we've noticed a trend of grossly inflated power ratings...

wait till you see my FTC article about this coming soon ;)

Yamaha released a FW update recently for HDCP 2.2 so you can check it out now.

I think Michael Fremer actually believes the spew that comes out of his mouth and it's entertaining while also frustrating to hear such nonsense. What makes it even less palatable is over sense of self-importance. Though if you're going to discard everything a magazine says just bc of one...

One of the most important conclusions we took away from CES 2018, is that true wireless hi-fi has finally coming of age. Vendors have demonstrated new audio products using aptX HD and LDAC codecs, these are the high-resolution options we’ve been waiting for. Wireless audio over Bluetooth can be...

RBH Sound Signature 66-SE/R On-Wall with Status Driver Upgrades MSRP: $2,800/pair Asking Price: $500/pair + shipping These are wonderful speakers for those wanting broad sound coverage across a wide listening area. The woofers are bipole and the tweeters are dipole configured. They feature dual...

I plan on getting in a pair of LSR 306 mkII to compare. I heard from others that these do compare favorably to the LSR 305s but haven't done a direct comparison myself. IN my large room they just don't get quite loud enough or have enough bass which is to be expected. They do work best as a...
