<font color='#000000'>George; Man that B&amp;W center channel looks nice! Giving the fact that it is rated for 8ohms (min 3ohms) and 90dB efficient I seriously doubt you will have any problems driving it with your AVR-5803. &nbsp;Sounds like your dealer may be trying to promote an amp sale...

<font color='#000000'>Viggi; I don't believe that your Denon receiver has HDCD decoding. &nbsp;I suspect you may need to purchase a DVD/CD player that has that feature.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Hollymacro; Having a 75ohm connector is really not that critical, nor is it acheivable giving the form factor of the RCA plug. &nbsp;The electrical length of this connector is infinitely short compared to the highest wavelengths of video signals even up to 100MHz. &nbsp...

<font color='#000000'>Brendon; Yes we are aware of those types of cables and if you notice, I said &quot;...vendors claim wire is directional&quot; not the actual shielded end product cable. &nbsp;Anyone claiming physical wire has directional properties should easily be able to prove it with a...

<font color='#000000'>3dB; Agreed. &nbsp;My wife almost flipped when I installed 10 2' by 4' Echobuster sound panels in my living room. &nbsp;&quot;But honey its for the betterment of Audioholics &nbsp; &quot;</font>

<font color='#000000'>Matt; I suspect that the snake oil vendors tout &quot;break-in&quot; so that the consumer will keep the product for longer than the return policy. &nbsp;Also, statistically if a consumer doesn't return a product within a weeks time, they are less likely to do so...

<font color='#000000'>Dan; Kosher chicken fat works wonders on my cables. &nbsp;Thanks for the tip. &nbsp;Now they are so slippery that I don't have to worry about my daughter pulling my speaker cables off from my speakers &nbsp; Clint; I am in full agreement. &nbsp;I don't have a problem...

<font color='#000000'>In order to help all fellow audioholics identify if a particular cable vendor is selling legitimately truthful product or snake oil, I have prepared a top ten list of common shams exotic cable vendors often use to lure unsuspecting audioholics into buying their products...

<font color='#000000'>Jim; This higher distortion most certainly has to do with the digital amps and/or possibly the power supply. &nbsp;We also wonder just how good the SNR is and if the passive LC output filters will have deleterious effects on fidelity when presented with a reactive load...

<font color='#000000'>Paul; I agree with you on this. &nbsp;These type of center channels would sound best if vertically oriented. &nbsp;However there are tricks that can be done via the crossover and tweeter placement to some extent to minimize the lobing effects that you described.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Dante; Sounds like you are overdriving your sub and tasking it to product frequencies lower than it is tuned for.  I suggest to first lower the sub level via the receiver to say -6dB or so and then readjusting your sub volume and phase.  You should try not to use the subs...

<font color='#000000'>Rob; I haven't seen the thread regarding the digital amp test results. &nbsp;Please post a link to it here if you have it. &nbsp;Thanks.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Rob; I also share your vision, especially since it eliminates all of the snake oil, oops, I mean cable vendors from the equation </font>

<font color='#000000'>3dB; You will get no argument for me that testing speakers outside away from boundaries is a sound approach.  However, it might get a little messy and annoying to neighbors. As for our reviews on Axiom products, we reviewed their products before accepting their banner...

<font color='#000000'>Paul; Very interesting brochure. &nbsp;Sounds like we need to check out some of Linn's latest product offerings. &nbsp;One concern I do have is they don't spec SNR of the amp, unless I overlooked it. &nbsp; I agree there are tradeoffs to regulating power supplies for...
