    Bi-Amp via A and B channels?

    No Justin that is called biwiring. There is little to no benefit of doing so and some receivers have the A,B speaker outputs wired in series so in that instance you will surely lose performance. You can check this by having your speakers connected to A, then press B and see if the sound...

    Bi-Wire Speaker Jumpers

    LOL :D I would only recommend changing out your factory jumpers for something else if: 1) They bend or break and no longer can make good contact 2) You want something that looks cooler $10 aint much money so no biggie and if you think it makes it sound better, more power to you!

    To add to my Speaker Height question...

    Mitchell; Where is your subwoofer? What is the height of your speakers? How can you couches be 2 feet above ear level? They must be huge! I don't have enough info about your setup here to comment intelligently, so I will comment like a babbling idiot instead :D I would suggest...

    Speaker Cable Faceoff 2: Introduction & Measurements

    Now that I have the new Wayne Kerr 6420 at my disposal 24/7 I will certainly be measuring more cables in the future. Bettercables refuses to send us anymore product since we singled out their bulletplug and poor termination connection as an example in our Component Video Cable article last...

    cable comparison

    Yes! In fact most cables are simply repackaging of OEM cables so if they measure the same it is likely they are the same cable. Only poorly designed cables are sonically distinguishable.

    ad links

    Haha Mark thats funny. If we eliminate the green links and add more banners, we will likely hear from our readers that we sold out and should eliminate the banners. The truth is if we can't keep a constant revenue stream into this site, there wont be a site and we will all have to go back to...

    Audio Cable Tester Requirement

    John; What frequencies are you talking about? Low frequency bass (where the most amplifier power is required) below 80Hz is omnidirectional and the ear cannot perceive directionality or lateral clues? I suggest reading some of the white papers authored by Dr. Floyd Toole and Thomas Holman...

    Yamaha RX-Z9 First Look

    Wawlt, try this first: 1) You need to enable the i.link output of your DVD-5900. This is in the setup menus. 2) You need to assign an input on your Z9 for using i.link. 3) Set the input to auto so it will detect i.link signal.

    Gotcha! And its a bad speculation so pay little attention to it ;) 5910 will be on its way.

    DVD 5900 discontinued?

    Leve; I don't think the 3910 is meant as a replacement to the 5900. BTW the 5900 already has a great audio section, not sure what they will do to improve on it. We shall see.

    Impracticality of the Audioholic Addicition

    Rip, I disagree with you here. There is something to be said for synergy whether it be electronics & speaker combo, or room or all of the above. In bright rooms which cannot be tamed due to budget, ot constraints, there is certainly an advantage to choosing a speaker with a more controlled...

    Bi Wiring using Flexygy 6 Speaker Wire

    German1; There is little to no benefit of biwiring provided that you select a quality cable to begin with. In fact, be careful about biwiring high capacitance cables as it doubles the capacitance in doing so and you risk amplifier stability issues or frequency peaking for long runs of...

    Speakers; When is good enough, enough

    Yes, you can Y out dual subs in mono to the SOS device. Since I have stereo subout on processor I am using now, I requested two review samples and will test in stereo configuration calibrating each sub separately.

    Speakers; When is good enough, enough

    Dan; While I agree with your LEDE approach and implement much of it in my system, this will have little impact on resolving bass issues. Speaker positioning, listener positioning, and as last resort bass equalization are the primal methods for resolving bass issues. Of course as Dr. Toole...
