Just a quick note about the Yamaha RX-V2500. I just finished an install using this unit as a Preamp/Processor for my uncle. I have to say, this receiver has one of the cleanest preamps I have heard in its price class. The noise floor was absolute dead silence. For those looking for an...

If you are referring to the power measurements HT Magazine did, there is a very valid reason why that happened and you need to check out our article on "The All Channels Driven Test" to discover why. You may wish to check out my measurements that pegs the RX-V2500 (very similar amp section) at...

I have a very good condition RBH Sound 1010-SEP Subwoofer in maple finish for sale. Retail is $1800. I will part with it for $700 + shipping. This sub was in my reference system for 2 years prior to my upgrade of the T-2 system which features 2 of these identical subs, but in a different...

Paul; I have only a few cables from Acoustics research. 1) Not so well designed speaker cables with conductor spacing too far out 2) Video cables with RFI clamps on them - very pretty, but kinda dumb to add that on a cable, especially a video cable since it will increase inductance and can...

Howie, not a bad idea. Thanks.

The AV123 sub review will be posted by the first of the month.

Sadly we never get feedback from winners of our contest programs. It appears they win and disappear. It took us 2 tries to find a winner (the first person didn't even bother to call us back!) for the EP500 and the second person we found acted surprised as if he didn't even remember he entered...

I would use caution when using the auto EQ of this receiver, as well as the Yamaha and Pioneer equivalents. So far the only system we found to have enough precision and accuracy for room EQ above 100Hz is the new Audyssey system found in the Denon AVR-5805 and 4806. The other auto eq's are...

We are testing a few of their speakers and are coming out with a review of one of their subs shortly. Stay tuned....

John, good point, but I am sure it will eventually get approved for ver 1.3. I will check with Denon to see what they say. Franchot, yes it is quite faded, more so than the pair of 10 year old Jeans collecting dust in my closet :D

We figured for around $2k people would get more bang for their buck with the chairs rather than moderate acoustics treatment. Most acoustics treatment at this price level are best left to natural treatments such as throw rugs, furniture, bookcases, etc, unless you build them yourself, but thats...

RBH speakers will go in our 50k recommended system coming soon. They don't have a replacement series to the one we recommended in the 12k system at this time.

You can't always go by published distortion measurements since you may not be comparring apples to apples. Check out our article Product Managing Receiver Platforms for more info. There is more to amplifier performance than a simple THD test into a resistive load. If you are comparing...

Actually 80Hz is not localizable. What you are likely hearing is excessive bass energy b/c of the subwoofer and main speakers are combining bass energies (up to 6dB) at the frequencies they are both reproducing. Also, regarding the article you pointed out is not entirely accurate. Most well...

Page 2 of my RX-Z9 Review explains the heat issue.

AV_Phile; That is a good question and certainly a topic worth writing an article on. Now if only I had the time :( Bottom line on interconnects is to select a cable with the lowest possible capacitance and you will be fine. I usually recommend Coax with dual braid/foil shield such as...

I would NOT purchase this piece from an unauthorized dealer. Try negotiating with an authorized dealer to reduce the price a bit or give you something free. Saving $500-1000 on a $6k piece this sophisticated and complex is not worth in IMO. You should also buy this product from a company that...

I will be using the same 10AWG cable from Bluejeans on the prewiring of my new home for the very reasons you guys selected it: UL listed, low gauge, and measures well. Now if only we can integrate the GLOB technology on it, it would truly be a high end cable :rolleyes:
