In one defense to Bose. They do have an amazing engineering team and research facility that is top notch. Sadly very little of that research trickles down to their consumer products.

Zip; It could be worse you know. Some cable companies enjoy charging in excess of $4k for speaker cables with a battery attached to them. I say shame on the companies that do this, the dealers that promote it, and the consumers whom don't research it enough before buying it!

Sure, here is our opinion on then: Aperion Audio Powered Towers Review

Rex; The latter response is with respect to tighter tolerances thus why the bandwidth is more limited. In other words from 60Hz to 20kHz the spec is within +-3dB tolerance meaning the total variance within that bandwidth cannot exceed 6dB total. The former response of 30Hz to 50kHz +-6dB...

Bruzios, who is feeding you these rules of thumbs? 1) Separates are NOT always better than flagship receivers. In fact, in most cases separates fall short when being compared to receivers within the same price class. 2) Quality cables need NOT be expensive. In fact if you are looking...

Rex; Give Ray a call at (909) 794-6257. He has a very impressive set-up of the RBH Signature T2 system in his showroom that you should go take a listen too.

No it just means I was too lazy to update it. I will be sending the Z9 back soon so until I get a replacement, I will revert back to the Denon AVR-5803. A few companies want me to review their separates solutions but I am swamped right now so it may have to wait. For now the AVR-5803 will be...

How about discussing measurement techniques for measuring Rs, Ls and Cp for a speaker cable. Can you discuss the differences of using Cp vs Cs measurment technique for measuring the open circuit capacitance of a speaker cable? How can one more accurately measure Ls at frequencies below...

Agreed O'Shag. I was just listening to my headphones on the Z9 tonight and was impressed with the sonic performance. Silent Cinema is a winner. I will miss this piece when I send it back shortly :( Until the next Yamaha flagship graces my system I will also miss the DSP processing.

Rex; It depends on your budget. Clint has found Outlaw and SVS subs to be incredible values check out his review at: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/loudspeakers/SVS_subsPB2-ISD_OutlawLFM-1_1.php

Rex; RBH doesn't sell direct unfortunately :( You should look at their Signature line if you can find a local dealer.

Actually in many cases RBH outperforms the brands you mentioned when comparing similar price points. Check out our reviews and you will see that we do believe in their product performance and value. B&W and Paradigm also make excellent products so ultimately it comes down to what you prefer...

There is a top level block diagram of the DVD-5900 located here: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/Denon_DVD-5900p2.html The DVD-5900 DAC's can support both formats natively but does go through PCM conversion to handle Bass Management and Time Alignment which is done in...

Sounds like an induced ground loop somewhere. Try connecting all components to one outlet. If that doesn't work, check cabling. Try shielded twister pair on interconnects between preamp outs to Zone2 source for biamping. If your still having hum, try to isolate if a cable box, or 3 prong...

My advice on love handles (which I need to actually practice rather than just preach) is to lower Pizza intake :) One of the driving forces behind why I engage in weightlifting is so I can still eat Pizza ;) Seriously though, a regular exercise program with weight training is essential for...

Haha John you just need to participate more to get your ranking up :) We are about to add a section to this forum that I think will become your daily hang out :) In about a month I will have the most advanced LCR meter in the industry at my disposal. A staff of engineers from that company...

Ken; They just got back to me and I updated the article by adding page2 at: http://www.audioholics.com/productreviews/avhardware/AnthemD1p2.html

We will eventually offer this in an Audioholics membership program. Thank you. We are always stiving to improve and provide the most detailed coverage of products out there.

Wow a real active thread :rolleyes: It's good to see people take an interest in what really matters in audio ;) Here is Part IV which compares LP to CD, DVD-A and SACD
