They are bookshelf speakers in a floorstanding cabinet since the drivers don't see the entire box volume. Its mentioned in the review.

Up until about 10 years ago your assesment would have been spot on. But I feel ever since Onkyo entered the 5.1/7.1 discrete surround receiver marketplace their amp sections have suffered compared to their competitors. IMO their last excellent amp section in a receiver was in their 828THX...

Audyssey is beneficial below 80Hz even on the receiver models. You have to look at measurements from each seat to appreciate it. Nulls are hard to deal with using active equalization and its good that Audyssey doesn't attempt to boost and waste amp power. So far, Audyssey is the best...

I hear ya, but the DAC's in this processor are transparent and are some of the industries best. None of us were able to hear any sonic degradation as a result.

Ray, we are cracking down on power conditioners this year and in order for them to be considered "conditioners" they must meet the following criteria: 1) surge suppression 2) line filtering 3) regulation In this case, the Furman Elite-15 doesn't have regulation thus we don't consider it a...

Yes and they didn't want any press covering it. I spoke to their Marketing Director and he said if we covered this piece it would hurt them b/c it wont officially be released until CES and we would reduce the appeal of the product if its already old news. Go figure :rolleyes:

huh? The HK is rated at 70wpc into 2CH where as the Yammie is rated at 100watts and I tested it to 132 watts into 8 ohms and 200watts into 4 ohms! The Yammie also weighs in about 4-5lbs heavier.

Its Class D, but with a proprietary Post Filter Feedback stage developed by Axiom. Think of it as a 7CH amp with a free amp thrown in. 10.5 surely you're mad? :D I know don't call you Surely :)

Jim; Good question. I am actually using the Audyssey Pro for my 4 subwoofers only. I am still using Audyssey built into my Denon 5805. Its a bit complicated, but the combo of the 2 is quite awesome if you spend the time to tweak, and measure the results. I am still working on this...

The 3805 did NOT have Audyssey and was based on a conventional PEQ implementation. The best settings for the 3806 are FLAT and Audyssey. The only difference between the 2 settings is the Audyssey mode rolls off the highs a bit to compenstate for the mixing process with most recordings...

Please RE-READ my prior post. The HTR-5890 is NOT of the same model year OR retail price of the RX-V659. It retails for $849 where as the RX-V659 retails for $549. http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=200016&CTID=5000400

Today actually, a bunch of them.... oh wait, those were cows :D

Bryan; I think your 2 sec decay times are a bit extreme and not typical in most home theater rooms. As chris has mentioned FIR base systems do frequency and time domain correction. Seat to seat variation goes down significantly when you use multiple subs. Imagine if you used a combo of...

Its not a sound room for listening. Its an anechoic chamber (totally dead room) for making accurate measurements.

Folks, remember our mantra: only poorly designed cables are sonically distinguishable ....

No fishing, but plenty of deer hunting :) J/K. Aside from plenty of good eating, we spent alot of time on their dock by the lake enjoying the icy cool lake and discussing audio snake oils, among other things.
