    How much power?

    <font color='#000000'>Depending upon the frequencies and amplitude and sensitivity of the human ear in question, it is entirely possible to hear changes as little as .5dB in level. &nbsp;In fact, I read in some audio journal that .2dB level changes are detectable. As for power, yes doubling the...

    Denon 5803 vs Marantz 9300 vs Pioneer Elite 49txi

    <font color='#000000'>Dis; The new NAD receiver looks very impressive. &nbsp;It seems to have a very robust amp section and above average digital front end to match it. &nbsp;In the near future we may request a sample for review. &nbsp;Thanks for the link.</font>

    Home Teater review of SUBS

    <font color='#000000'>Also notice that none of the products reviewed in that issue or issues in the last year or so that received scores lower than 90s, and there were no negative critiques. &nbsp;It's also amusing to see rave reviews of a product followed by an ad for that product two pages...

    Yamaha RXV-2400

    <font color='#000000'>Bob, I tend to agree with you on that as well. &nbsp;In most cases I prefer 5.1 over 6.1 unless it is a discrete channel. &nbsp;I would personally go for the front effects in this case, especially since it is easier to integrate into most rooms from my experience.</font>

    A Do-It-Yourself Speaker Design

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; I tend to agree with you on the issue of Time Coherency.  There are definate trade offs: 1) Slanted baffle, drivers operating off axis 2) Usually most designs employ 1st or 2nd order degenerative series/parallel crossovers requiring the best drivers to be...

    Denon AVR 5803 and power

    <font color='#000000'>George; I saw that one and I think it was a misprint for the 4ohm rating, especially since they claimed the Denon was the most powerful from what I recall. &nbsp;They didn't even spec the correct power rating from the manufacturer (Should be 170wpc, they have 130wpc)...

    Denon AVR 5803 and power

    <font color='#000000'>Yamahaluver; You touched on a subject that is often overlooked and misunderstood by consumers and reviewers that fall prey to the power game. &nbsp;Years ago S&amp;V magazine faced off the Yamaha RX-V1 and Denon AVR-4800 in the same issue and incorrectly showed the latter...

    Denon AVR 5803 and power

    <font color='#000000'>Hi George; Is it possible you were reading their review of the European equivalent to the AVR-4802? Here is a link to their review of the Euro AVR-5803 or AVC-A1SR that shows it will deliver 189.9 watts into 8 ohms and 308.9watts into 4 ohms.  For a receiver, thats...

    Off Topic: Would this work?

    <font color='#000000'>Dis; Perhaps start your own audio website   Seriously there is too much overhead and paper work in a store front for such a small venture to make it worth your while for your intended purpose. &nbsp;Rob is right on the money with his reasoning as well. [edited...

    Yamaha RXV-2400

    <font color='#000000'>I just received a review sample of the Yamaha RXV-2400 last night. &nbsp;I currently have it hooked up in 2CH in my secondary reference system to analyze its two channel audio performance, YPAO and menu set-ups. &nbsp;I would like to open this forum for owners to discuss...

    Audioholics review of the Denon AVR-5803!

    <font color='#000000'>Peter/Paul sorry for the mix up   Paul; I guess I partly don't understand why you would use the 6CH analog connects if you have a DVD-5900 and AVR-5803.  I would probably go the D-Link route.  The DAC section in the AVR-5803 is still probably a step up  or comparible to...

    Speaker wattage ratings for newbies

    <font color='#000000'>Joe; Very briefly, just because you have an amp that is rated to 200wpc, doesn't mean you will ever reach those power levels in most listening conditions, particularly for any extended amounts of time. &nbsp;Thus if amp #1 is 100wpc and amp#2 is 200wpc, they will play at...

    Audioholics review of the Denon AVR-5803!

    <font color='#000000'>Peter; I tend to agree with your viewpoints regarding the upgrade.  Perhaps Denon will offer other incentives in the upgrade besides PLIIx.  However, short of Room Correction, DVI interfacing and Video de-interlacing, I can't imagine what else can be added to this receiver...
