Will; My AVP screens are always the same like yours when you are using DVD-A regardless of what type of disc I am using. There is no option to turn on/off the sub. Very strange. Thanks for posting.

Will; I upped your post count so you should now be able to add attachments. There is an attachment tab below the text field where you can do so. thanks.

OK guys lets keep this thread on topic. I sent a PM to Olivia Munn via facebook to see if I could get her to pose with some A/V receivers in more conservative attire but I'm not holding my breath for a response :eek:

My menu gives no option for sub on/off like yours. I have the latest FW with Audyssey Dynamic EQ, etc. Very bizarre.

Will can you list the exact path from hitting the Menu button on how to get there? All I see is in Parameters is SB CH Out On/Off, LFE level. I also checked and have the latest firmware so this is quite puzzling that your interface is different. thanks.

I don't see the harm in including a picture of a gorgeous woman into our articles every now and then. I happen to really like Olivia, not just because she is so dreamy but because she is funny as hell. I admire her, not denigrate her.

It's no coincidence, we try to build relations with the best companies in the business so they can sell their products in the E-store. BTW Denon is NOT in the E-store and they don't advertise with us yet their product is in our article so chew on that apple :rolleyes:

That article was based on products we did First Looks on and planning reviews for. I will have our team check out the Pioneer as well. thanks.

Will; I will try this in the morning. If this works you will be my Hero!

Saw this movie with the wife tonight. It was pretty awesome. DiCaprio rocks. People used to laugh at me when I said I liked him when he did "Catch me if you Can" and the movie about Howard Hughes. Now after seeing Departed, Shutter Island and this movie, is there any doubt? I don't thinkso :D

that's correct. It didn't make a difference on their speakers in my brief listening test, but that doesn't negate the necessity for using better quality parts for all speakers. I used to work as a telcom engineer prior to doing AH and I can tell you parts quality and tolerances are everything...

Sure but Axiom won't send product for this shootout. They weren't too thrilled with our views on part quality affecting measurable and audible distortion in crossovers. See Crossover Brains of Your System Part II They also don't feel a good enough standard is in place for quantifying...

The spacing of the tweeters and woofers is calculated to allow the speaker to act like a dispersion averaging array which reduces comb filtering of multi driver systems but yes there will be lobing and comb filtering just like any speaker with multi drivers playing the same frequencies. The...

There can still be biases in blind tests such as: losses associated with grille material to cover the speakers as we found interpretation error of results too small of a sampling size to get meaningful results When it is close between a pair of speakers, you really need to listen...

Actually that was our First Look article not a formal review. Our First Look articles tend to be more detailed than most of our competitors so called "reviews". :p

Blind testing is a bit over rated and often never done correctly by most people, including the manufacturers that tout it as a necessity. Do you need to do a blind test to determine if a gourmet angus hamburger tastes better than a 99cent McDonalds toe-nail burger? I don't think so. Blind...

No and stop making statements like this or you will make me write a 7k word tech article explaining exactly how this works. I don't have time for this :) The additional subs add the ability to play louder while also smoothing out bass response. To do a fair comparison, you must level match...

That is a great question and its harder to level match than most people realize. I discuss how I level match in the last Speaker FaceOff we did: http://www.audioholics.com/reviews/speakers/floorstanding/2010-1k-faceoff I use wideband pinknoise and C-wt on the SPL meter. Internal Pink noise...

Actually Bose cubes sound better than you'd imagine....but you have to be sitting about 2-3 feet from all of them at once :)

Its fun but not accurate. The human ear is a terrible absolute reference but a great comparitor. Your reference is shot after only a few seconds so going off memory is anecdotal at best. I once found a pair of bookshelf speakers at a dealer that I thought sounded wonderful, best I ever...
