New Forum Imported Hey guys; Our forum has been imported to the new software. Nothing is customized yet. So we will be working on the look of the site going forward. Anyone that has time to test the import, your help would greatly be appreciated. You can use your current login to this...

They probably sold out of the Beryllium drivers which is why they now use the Aluminum ones. The Aluminum drivers will have better bass output, especially the non phase plug version but they will give up some of the softness in sound you get from the Beryllium cone. Either way, at $210/pr...

The tubes are on the preamp side not the power amp. I'd imagine you could still get replacements from EMP for them though I'm curious about the new amp they will be releasing. In anything other than a small office, the VT-40.2 simply doesn't cut the mustard.

IT's the Scan Speak 9500 which until I heard the new Beryllium tweeter they make, was my favorite tweeter of all time. It's not a cheap upgrade and will cost you as much as you paid for the 41s. I did it b/c most of my reference speakers employ this tweet and I really love the openness of the...

Sounds like you implemented them well. In a large room, I'd want to employ 2 subs placed in close proximity and crossed over to the 41s at 100Hz. That kind of setup, running stereo subs, would be pretty awesome for sure. I love them as nearfield monitors b/c they are so detailed and clean...

These speakers are not well suited for large rooms. They really should be used as nearfield monitors.

I use the Velodyne Mini-Vee. Excellent,compact and blends great.

The UPA500 and UPA200 are identical except the UPA500 has 5 channels and the UPA200 has 2 channels. They have the exact same power transformer and capacitor bank. I am currently reviewing the UPA500 and will post the review in a couple of weeks.

not necessarily flat, but more even response across more seats. Flat is NOT pleasing sounding in a real room. You want elevated low end response as Frequency goes down and tapered off response as frequencies go up. A flat line from 20Hz to 20kHz (which is impossible to achieve in a real room)...

You're forgetting this amp is compatible with a 220V/20A line. The only way it can deliver the rated power continuously is on an ideal bench test where the line voltage is held constant. This can be said about any high power amp and it was said in the following article I wrote: The All...

What are your mains and surround speakers being used? I installed an E56Ci and found it to be around -2dB less efficient than the E55Ti towers. EMP speakers will NOT be as efficient as your Def Techs but as long and you use an SPL meter to level match all of your speakers, you should be fine...

I always publish FFT distortion analysis at low and high power in my reviews so you can see this. here is a guideline on how I measure amps: Basic Amplifier Measurement Techniques — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Understood and Anthem makes some great amps so I'm not surprised by their specs.

You need to compare SNR between amps at the same power levels and same weighing filtering. This is why I like to scale all power amps SNR figures down to 1 watt where the amp idles most of the time anyways. I will measure SNR on the new Emo amp like I've done with all other amps. The XPA amps...

Don't worry Huddler is NOT an option for Audioholics I am considering. Here is an example of a popular forum using Xenforo so you can get an idea of how it would look. IGN Boards

I'm with you. I love Vbulletin. But VB4.0 has been plagued with issues since Internet Brands took it over. Their support doesn't seem as good. We were gonna wait for VB5.0 but don't have a lot of confidence in it. Xenforo has some really cool features from our research, including SEO...

I asked RBH to start shipping these with port plugs since most people use them on a desktop close to a back wall. The black ring near the phase plug is an improvement to reduce turbulence from the air gap of the phase plug. RBH's $50k/pair Status 8T's also do this with their Beryllium phase...

UPDATE: Go to this thread for discussion of the new vBulletin 4.2 forum Hey guys; We will be upgrading our forum from Vbulletin to Xenforo in the course of the next 2-3 months. We are looking for beta testers but also some feedback here as to what you'd like to see on the new forum...

Tell them to bring on the 192kHz/24bit discs! :D
