No, my rear channels aren't running full range. They don't dip down to 2 ohms and their volume level is set lower since they are closer to the listening position.

OK guys, We would like to hear your opinion on which brand you feel makes the best AV Receivers and why? What is important to you? Features Sound Quality Ease of Use Reliability Connectivity Build Quality Power When you're done gawking at Olivia Munn, cast your vote and check out our AV...

Possibly, but it's not really a concern of mine. Fidelity first and so far I haven't found a Class D amp that keeps up with the very best in linears for full frequency applications, especially at the power levels I'm using.

After 5 years, I went back and did some updates to the Audioholics Showcase Home based on recent equipment changes. Hope you guys dig it. Audioholics Showcase Home Theater Overview Revamped | Audioholics

Last time I tried the game, I couldnt get past the first board where you're supposed to do something at a base while avoiding the Borg. I just want to engage ship battles, not missions. I miss Star Trek Armada. If anyone has Legacy for XBOX 360, I'd love to school ya ;)

I tried that game but didn't get very far. I occasionally play Star Trek Legacy on XBOX360 but nobody plays it anymore.

oh God I hope not.

Sure there were a lot of stupid things and poorly done episodes of all Trek, (mostly Voyager and TOS) but overall the shows all conveyed a message of hope for humanity. Many of the episodes of TNG had ideas rooted in theoretical physics to at least stimulate thought on the topics. All Star...

You don't know that for certain since that allegedly happens after TNG timeframe which is 120 years or so after the time of the current movies. There is so much silliness in these new Trek's that you can't really count on any meaningfulness in the old or new timelines. Cold fusion to freeze a...

Power meters on amps are very slow responding and not a good indicator of how much actual power your pulling for peaks. I can tell you in my 6000ft^3 room on my Status 8T's, an amp like the XPR-1 is a real benefit when playing bass heavy music at high sustained listening levels. I've clipped...

They destroyed Vulcan not Romulus. Intro Darkness IMO was a real cheesy remake of Star Trek II. Abrams had a chance to be innovate with the new timeline. Instead, he recycled an iconic character, cheapen him into nothing more than a thug and recycled lines making them both unnatural and out...

Guys I updated Tom's preview article with some feedback I received from Yamaha. In the update is also the type of DAC's each receiver has. Stuff should be a bit more clear now since their website had some conflicting info.

Stanton, if I remember correctly, the dual center feature was nothing more than a parallel connection to a common amp. It wasn't independently configurable. It's really NOT a good idea to employ 2 centers. Almost nobody does this for good reason. Comb filtering, especially off axis will...

BTW the new RBH SX-1212/R is in fact using the SP1-4000 amplifier and RBH is rating it at the correct manufacturers 2400 watt specification. I just confirmed this with their engineer. see: Subwoofer: RBH SX-1212P/R Powered Subwoofer The amp module has a 30 amp PTC fuse so in theory it could...

We are not talking hours or even minutes here. The problem is, the same people that claim they "don't care" about power ratings are the very same ones that are over rating Power! It's funny how this is ok with subwoofer amps, but not with stand alone fullrange audio amplifiers or receivers...

No the product exists, but the honesty of power ratings varies from manufacturer to manufacturer which is clearly the point of these posts. It's one thing to post an ideal lab condition power rating and another to post an actual achievable power rating in the field. In any event, claiming the...

That appears to be a true dedicated 20A line.

Klipsch has always been a bit overly optimistic of their sensitivity ratings. We wrote an article on this very topic (though not targeting any particular manufacturer): Loudspeaker Sensitivity Specifications & Measurements Explained | Audioholics

Agreed, overrating power in power amps is a common sickness in this industry. Unfortunately PSA trying to keep up with the Jones in this case since many of their competitors are doing the very same thing. What does matter is how it measures though 3rd party verification as well as how it...

I don't want to beat a dead horse here but the amp manufacturer calls it a 4kwatt amp but their spec page actually declares it to be 2.25kwatt. It also lists the test conditions to achieve their 2.25kwatt long term power and 4kwatt short term power using burst testing on a 120V/50A line...
