AVP Update Guys; I just confirmed with Denon that the AVP/5308 upgrade does NOT allow you to apply a simultaneous calibration curve to all subs :( It still calibrates each sub individually which is a bummer since their newer lower end receivers actually provision for the simultaneous...

All; I just uploaded the latest test data as a zip file containing the Excel spreadsheet and a PDF version courtesy of Haraldo. It's on the first post for this thread. Let me know if there are any issues opening it. If anyone knows of a FREE Zip program, please also send me a link. I...

I don't think that will happen since Axiom seems content with their current offerings and now the VP160 fills the gap for those wanting a center channel with better off-axis response.

I don't think Soundstage is doing measurements at the NRC anymore. I haven't seen any recent reviews done there by them. Also, I do hope Axiom starts allowing 3rd party measurements again but only time will tell.

I've heard nothing but great things about Tact from industry professionals so I for one am looking forward to evaluating this processor. I want to see how it stacks up to Audyssey and my Denon AVP is getting upgraded to the latest Audyssey in 2 weeks so this is timely.

Agreed, I'm learning to tone things down a bit to appeal to a wider readership. I wish I had someone to simply dumb down my long tech articles for those that want a short concise report. Perhaps down the road we will rank articles based on their tech level for understanding. The same applies...

I honestly don't focus that much effort into stand alone dac's. I test the DAC section of receivers and Blu-ray players to make sure they are operating correctly. By correctly, meaning they are outputting HD bitstreams error free. I rarely test how they decode these signals since most people...

Preamps and Dacs are generalized in the preamp section of the article. We measure drive level, distortion, SNR, crosstalk, etc. As for source devices, if the disc is read it usually transfers digital correctly or we would see a BER issue. Some devices do negatively affect sound quality when...

I discovered Velodyne posted this thread on their Facebook page so that is probably affecting the results somewhat.

Velodyne is trying to fulfill a shrinking Brick&Mortor marketplace while also selling online. That is not an easy task and eventually they will have to prioritize on one to be successful. B&M won't tolerate their lowering prices and the Internet model is too well established and competitive for...

That's an incredible deal! I used to own 1266-SE/R's and had tears in my eyes when I traded them out for a pair of T2's. I did direct side by side comparisons before I decided to do that. See my review: RBH Sound T-2 Signature Series System Review — Reviews and News from...

I actually had a chance to hear these speakers last CEDIA. I had no idea they were $20k/pair. I didn't walk away impressed, especially now seeing the price. These are IMO certainly not the best horn speakers I've heard from JBL, though they were the most costly.

That's great progress for them. Axiom fans should really be happy with this design and it seems like a nice upgrade from a VP150.

FYI, I measured these speakers in my formal review. EMP VT-40.2 Tube Amplifier & 41-SE/B Speaker System Review — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Lump Outlaw and HSU together since they are all designed by HSU anyways.

I see the polling results. Anyone else having this problem?

Guys, Listed below are 10 brands to chose from on whom you think makes the industry's best subwoofers. Why only 10? B/C our polling options are limited to 10. I attempted to chose the most recognized brands so please don't reply saying, I wish you would have included brand ZZZ that is a DIY...

Really? And what is wrong with stranded wire? Please enlighten us.

You wouldn't think that if you heard them. The 6100 system projects an enormous soundstage and can play at SPL levels traditional 2 or 3 driver systems simply cannot. They do require a fairly good size room however. If the listener is only 6-8ft away from the front speakers, then a SI-760 is...
