Eclipsa Audio, a new immersive format developed by Samsung and Google, will be supported by Samsung’s 2025 TVs and Soundbars. Unlike Dolby Atmos, Eclipsa Audio is open-source and royalty-free. YouTube creators will be able to upload videos with Eclipsa Audio soundtracks starting in 2025...

YPAO correction is NOT great but the manual PEQ feature is very useful, especially since I got them to extend it down to bass frequencies. You should learn REW and make measurements yourself to get proper bass alignment with your subs and then EQ out the bumps in response across your listening...

There is a big thread about this with Dr. Floyd Toole weighing in on post#4: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/mmm-approach-and-a-new-calibration-app-magic-beans.50297/ Bottom line, Dirac, Audyssey, Trinnov, Anthem ARC are far more sophisticated calibration tools with...

Yes you can engage a HPF on the R-N1000 and R-N2000 via the MusicCAST app but ONLY after you run YPAO which is a bit odd that they chose to tie them together even though you can defeat YPAO and still use bass management.

Nope, same speakers for both units. The noisefloor difference is interesting though admittedly my testing isn't as controlled as I'd like it to be. I don't have a quick switcher so I am relying on memory. Both units are level matched during the comparison though. the instaneous ABX testing...

I'm actually thinking about recruiting a local college engineering student to teach them the ropes and help me test amplifiers. We will see.

The Arendal 1528s are tuned very low for a bookshelf (22Hz) so they also have low sensitivity at 84.5dB (1/m). They are a 4 ohm speaker with dips in the 3 range at bass frequencies so you need a stout amp for them to be sure. I think the bass is tighter or more controlled with the 2000 over the...

Yes i remember Julian Hirsch. I disagree with your sentiments about amplifiers not improving over time. Output devices are much better today and things like output impedance and load invariability isn't really an issue with most modern amps. Some of today's best Class d amps exceed linear in...
