Yes that is heavily smoothed and typical curve that many manufacturers love to publish for their products.

WE get it. Emotiva is charging a markup for essentially a very similar product that QMS is offering. Considering that Emotiva is fully servicing and warrantying the product and providing FREE shipping and a 30 day in-home trial, and not charging a 700% markup like Lexicon was doing with the...

Actually its a 60dB scale and likely NOT smoothed. The measurement looks gated to me hence why it cuts off below 300Hz.

I spoke with Dan Laufman, President of Emotiva about this. Here is the whole story: I think this just goes to show, get the whole story before crying conspiracy on a public forum especially when you're a new poster on the site. thanks. :rolleyes:

Awesome Review Wayde!

Aldo; I encourage you to review: Audioholics Subwoofer Measurement Protocol and our new: Audioholics Room Size Rating Protocol This is how we will be conducting most if not ALL future subwoofer reviews and we'd love to add your products to our review list. thanks.

NEVER trust Audyssey or any auto-room correction system to properly set crossover frequency for your speakers. Audyssey can't deal with a boundary gain of a speaker placed closely to a wall so it will assume the speaker is large and set a low crossover point. As for bipole vs dipole, the...

Hmm. I thought the new Emo speakers had a familiar look. I will call them and question them about this. Perhaps its a joint operation between both brands.

Has anyone successfully burned a copy of this? If so, how do you do it and how is the sound? http://www.dreamstrikes.com/music/823631-coldplay-parachutes-5-1-upmix-2008-limited-edition-2008-a.html

Dave your quite a knowledgeable and classy person. Thanks for adding this useful commentary about M&K. I was a big fan of their older products back in the day and glad to see another legitimately great high end speaker company back in the game!

Transparent Aluminum appears to becoming a scientific fact but I seriously doubt the Velodyne sub is constructed of it ;)

LOL OMG I remember those speakers. I never got to hear them but as a kid I lusted for them. Seeing how I didn't have any money back then, I had to settle for the cereal instead ;(

That's cool you have a blind screen with such little losses. In the past we used speaker grille cloth tightly stretched across the room and found considerable measurable differences seen here: As you can see there is considerably more loss than 1dB even down to 4kHz. It also matters how far...

That may be true with poorly designed speakers. But its pretty easy to identify the good from the bad by looking at the parts used, impedance measurements and on/off axis frequency response and how the speaker misbehaves at its output limits. Here is part 1 of 4 of a series of articles we...

I have to agree though I am still a Genesis fanatic!

Check out this see-thru Velodyne subwoofer that is rumored to be made out of transparent aluminum. This is only a prototype coming to a 23rd century near you! For more information, visit: http://www.velodyne.com

Todd; Just wondering how Harman determines "best competitor". Is it based on marketshare or actual product performance for the competitors? If the latter, what criteria is used? Do product comparisons always keep competitor products at similar price classes to Harman's? In your DBTs...

Steve Wilson just sent me his double CD Grace for Drowning. Holly shiz its great. 23 minute instrumental song with incredible drumming, flutes, piano, etc. It's going to be released on Blu-ray soon!

The Harman graphs are only 2 octaves long. I personally like to measure bass from 10Hz to 200Hz to see how the subs roll off on both ends and how they blend with the front channels. This is what I measure when calibrating systems but it doesn't look as smooth as a 2 octave wide measurement of...
