Some people like the colored sound of a tube. When they clip the sound is pleasing and warm whereas a solid state amp clipping can be harsh. Of course a solid state amp typically is a lot harder to clip b/c it usually has more headroom. We preview all relevant new products from CES. Why...

Oh geez will this ever end? I mean we did the shootout almost 2 years ago and while they were advertising no less. Their speakers did pretty darn well too! It took them 3 years after our Estore launch to feel uncomfortable about us licensing our name for a storefront? Their initial...

I think these speakers should be added to the list :) Status Acoustics 8T Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Haha OMG that gave me a good laugh :D Introducing the new Wire Escalators, It continually varies the distance of your wires from the floor to reduce stray eddy currents by introducing a variable magnetic flux density which modulates out of phase with the audio signal. :rolleyes:

Here it is, but its going to be called a Status 8T not Titus 2 like I thought: Status Acoustics 8T Floorstanding Loudspeaker Preview — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Speaker wires can be shielded but I see very little need to do so unless you live near a HAM radio antenna or running a badly designed Class D amp that radiates high F junk. See: Bulletproofing Your System from Interference — Reviews and News from Audioholics

Static electricity is Static! Signals propagating down a speaker cable are alternating. The two do NOT mix and the former is so weak it wouldn't matter if it did. I wonder what happens when one has wood floors? Do they no longer have to worry about the "static electricity"? What you...

People don't watch video overviews if they are more than 3-5 minutes from what we've found. Back in the day we used to do very long videos and they just didn't get viewed as much. This is why we wrap our videos in a detailed text writeup so people that care to know more can do so via reading...

Section 4.3 of CEA 2010 is hogwash. Nobody would dream of using it to justify doing max output tests indoors. You can't get reliable distortion results and hence accurate max output results. Brent doesn't publish distortion results which makes his erratic #s suspect.

PBC re-read Ed's response a bit more carefully. You can correct for frequency response but you can NOT correct for THD limited output. The distortion harmonics can interact with the standing waves from the nearby boundary which in turn can affect the CEA-2010 score by artificially inflating or...

Aside from the outrageous pricetag, these speakers actually look pretty cool. I'd love to hear them personally.

Only in the realm of Star Trek physics. Seriously even with no background in science I'd hope consumers have enough sense to realize this product is a scam!

that looks like the Espresso maker my wife got me for XMAS :)

Nice job my only suggestion is to limit the videos to under 5 minutes.

If you are running the main front speakers biamped where the sub portions are connected to the sub out of the processor, then I would try placing the additional two subs on the back wall locations similar to the mains (1/4W).

The amp is designed to drive low impedance loads so its fine. Adding an extra 10" halves the distortion and significantly increases output and extension over the single 10" model. I've heard both subs now and the 1010 is a nice upgrade to the single 10" model.

Most of Axiom speakers have a pleasing sound to them IMO. Plenty of bass and treble but a bit recessed in the mids. I can see the appeal to their sound and why they have so many loyal followers. Great customer service too and fast FREE shipping. That being said, I feel they have potential to...

I stand by my reviews of Axiom products. In all of my reviews I listed pros and cons. Of course Axiom NEVER agreed with my cons. Anytime I had anything negative to say about their products, I received a lecture about how wrong I was and that their "science" proves so. They disagreed with my...

Without distortion measurements disclosed you can't accurately determine if the CEA #s are valid. Just look at Brent's #s for the SVS pb12-NSD. They aren't even close to svs's #s nor do they jive with his frequency response curve.

I took apart the T30s not the new Status stuff. The new Status stuff is bigger and heavier but it is modular so that's a good thing. Here is a pre-production photo of the new Status Titus 2 without a veneer finish to get perspective when sitting next to a T2p speaker (similar to the T30s)...
