Here are some pictures with RBH Chief Engineer Shane Rich and myself after a full day of working on installing the new Status 8T towers and 8C center in my theater room. These were taken at 2am so we were pretty beat as you can see in our faces...

86dB 1/watt at 1 meter is pretty good for a bookshelf. Consider the recent Infinity P363 tower I reviewed that was rated at 93dB sensitivity. They didn't tell you it's a 4 ohm speaker and if you scale it back to 1 watt / 8 0hms the real efficiency of that speaker is 87dB! All...

any exposure like this for Triad is good. They are a good company that engineers legitimately good products. I hope this venture is profitable for them. Paul Scarpelli is a good guy.

You're free to start your own website and do your own product testing. Until then stop trolling or find another forum to complain on.

EMP sent me a prototype so its quite normal for this to happen. I've had much larger more established companies make far greater mistakes. It happens, especially when companies are in a rush to get exclusive coverage on our site. The longer port tubes while extending low end bass is a...

Hypex makes great Class D amps from what I hear. I know the designer, he is very talented. The Class D I have is the Axiom A1400 which is discontinued due to reliability issues. I still use it b/c it's a powerhouse but it is more sensitive to loudspeaker load impedance than conventional...

Yes and if I have my way, they're NEVER leaving :)

Actually its quite an incredible improvement. I have a top Class D amp I directly compared it too and there was no comparison. The Pass Labs amp had a much cleaner top end, and more authoritative bass response. The Pass Labs sounded live while the Class D sounded more electronic. This amp...

I threw up some pics and some preliminary comments about the new Status Acoustics 8T System I am reviewing on facebook. Please goto: http://www.facebook.com/Audioholics I also attached a teaser pic here of the system integrated into the Audioholics Showcase Theater room.

Yes it was Wayde! I just hope it has staying power. Also, what is to stop some heckler from completely editing and destroying it? It seems anyone can edit a Wiki page once its online.

Actually I believe Porcupine Tree's biggest influence was King Crimson, Pink Floyd and to some extent Rush. I'd classify all of these bands as Progressive Rock though Porcupine Tree has a touch of metal thrown in. Great points regarding the rest of your post however.

This article I wrote should answer all your questions regarding the dreaded Impedance Selector switches on A/V receivers. Setting the A/V Receiver Impedance Selector Switch — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Great post and couldn't have said it better myself.

I didn't do controlled listening tests between the Fluance and Infinity's as I was packing them up at the time but I did give a brief listen for what it's worth. The Infinity's are about 3 dB more efficient than the Fluance. So they will play louder with the same wattage applied to either...

As Dr. Floyd Toole says "You can get more useful information off the side of a tire than on a manufacturers website about their speakers". Sadly this also applies to Harman Consumer as well. ;)

It all depends on what volume levels one listens at and if they are running 5 additional speakers on the same receiver.

I always measure impedance of both speakers and never seen as much of an impedance variance like I have here. Since it's happening at the peaks its likely an issue with driver tolerances or possibly a leaky cabinet. I sent my concerns to Harman about this but they were left unanswered. I...

Why should I? I've never reviewed a pair of speakers that wouldn't accept banana plugs. These accept them if you can remove the pegs. All of my premium cables I use are terminated with bananas.

Dude I tried everything. In the end, I had to drill them out and they completely disintegrated before I could free them from the posts.

Dang that Lexicon listing is still the primary reason today why you won't find Harman ads on this site. Too bad that happened but its not our fault they shoehorned an Oppo into their own chassis and claimed otherwise until they sent us a review sample and we wrote that article. We are actually...
