    Official Yamaha RX-Z7 Receiver Review Thread

    I just sent back the 1st review unit. They sent me a 2nd unit and it has the same issue. I can make this problem go completely away by setting HDMI to HDMI to "through" which bypasses the ABT processing. I think the problem may lie somewhere in there. No I abused the amp section in this...

    The Speaker Company TSAT-1000-HT8-B System Review

    Fluance speakers look very nice. Unfortunately anytime I call them to arrange a product review the phone operators don't understand that we are an online review publication. They only seem competent enough to take a phone order and not think outside the box. I'd love to get a better contact...

    The Speaker Company TST2 Floorstanding Speaker Review

    One thing to keep in mind is tSc although owned by D&M is a completely new company. As such, there will be bumps in getting things smoothly going for awhile, including packaging, shipping, QC, etc. As long as they are proactive in resolving this issue, my hats off to them...

    Dayton Audio BR-1 Kit Brand New $125 !!!

    My parents won these at our 2008 SOTU Dinner Auction event last October. I was going to build the kit for them but they later decided to go with all in-wall speakers. Thus I will sell the kit which is still brand new for $125 + shipping to the first person that PM's me. This is a very...

    Budget Bookshelf Speaker Shootout 2009

    I am surprised the $150/pr Yamaha's did so well. Those are an old design but I guess an oldie but goodie ;)

    The Speaker Company TST2 Floorstanding Speaker Review

    There is no sharp dive. The response of the tweet out to 20kHz is quite normal, especially since it was taken in-room over 1 meter away. If you think thats bad, trying measuring a metal dome tweet with a phase plug on axis up to 20kHz :rolleyes:

    The Speaker Company TSAT-1000-HT8-B System Review

    I noticed that anytime someone brings this up their post count is under 5. I hope you're not a shill for a competing magazine or brand :rolleyes: The fact that you claim to "Not" see banners for them now that the review is up is puzzling since the banners have been running continously for...

    The Speaker Company TSAT-1000-HT8-B System Review

    Yes its exactly what I meant. The idea is the subs get crossed over around 120Hz and fill in the upper bass to give that fuller vocal presence. Just b/c a sub is crossed over at 120Hz doesn't mean it stops playing bass at 121Hz. Vocal energy goes down to the 100Hz range.

    Official Yamaha RX-Z7 Receiver Review Thread

    Yes I even connected the unit in my primary theater room between my Epson projector and Denon DVD Player. So I ruled out the rack heat issue and the Samsung as the source. The only other possible issue would be the cables (Impact Sonicwave) but doubtful b/c I use them on all my other gear and...

    Official Yamaha RX-Z7 Receiver Review Thread

    I am trying firmware updates to see if it helps but I am hitting a brick wall of sinking alot of time into this and not getting resolve. I am confident that Yamaha will do whatever is necessary to fix this however. I'd be interested in hearing more about the white paper you'd like to author...

    The Speaker Company TSAT-1000-HT8-B System Review

    Not sure about the drivers but that tweet looks like the old Infinity poly cell design. Tom is publishing a TST2 tower review tomorrow which I believe are similar to a Sapphire speaker system from awhile back.

    APC Silver Blowout Sale!

    I measured less than .5dB drop running my FIOS service into one of my H15s. Its worth it IMO.

    Official Yamaha RX-Z7 Receiver Review Thread

    Honestly I am not sure anymore. Yamaha sent me a 2nd RX-Z7 and it has the same video problem as the first. I also tested it on a different display to rule out my Samsung. This will now have to be elevated further with Yamaha engineering in Japan. Stay tuned....

    APC Silver Blowout Sale!

    I have to say this is an insane deal. I bought an H15 for my parents whom are always paranoid their equipment will fry in our next Florida lightening storm. I've been using H15s, S15s and S20s in my reference systems and love them!
