Like he said.

No matter how you slice it, this is absurd. Just check out Rythmik Audio’s site and calculate how many of their subs you could buy for the same price.

AudioScienceReview.com does a fantastic job at reviewing equipment. Some of the more interesting reviews have been scientific reviews of cables and power conditioners. No listening was done. The reviewer would just run equipment through his analyzer with and without the power cords or...

This sub is ridiculous from every perspective. Sorry you can’t comprehend that.

Yes, actually.

This is typical of Hollywood. You come up with a fairly good to great idea, integrated into new fresh stories that hadn’t been around and then you come out with a bit of entertainment that hasn’t been around before quite like it was. Of course, the superhero genre was going to grow tired...

This is a product that doesn’t need to exist. First off, one giant subwoofer is a stupid design decision for any system. Next is the price: $10K? You can buy a dozen Rythmik servo subs for less and those 12 will destroy this box. Finally, what does this behemoth weigh? 300lbs? If you...

Both of these systems are a one size fits one room/system set up and can't be used in anything less than a very expensive pre/pro by Trinnov and Datasat (maybe one other). As a proof of concept, they are impressive. As a viable product for anyone, but the most rich audiophiles, they are a...

If you took this design and updated it with components from today, this would still be a fantastic speaker. I remember this box. The AR9 reminds me of what Legacy and, in a newer design paradigm, RBH makes now. Fantastically engineered big speakers that offer performance for much less money...

Not to filibuster, Gene, but there is one thing you haven't thought of... full range speakers rarely can give you performance of a sat/sub system unless they are huge. There are very few box speakers made that can surpass what I get with my system and certainly none at the price I paid (less...

Gene, not to get in a pissing match with you, but there are two things that their documentation shows: This system will not work unless you have at least 4 full range speakers (20Hz-20kHz) or independent subs It has no efficacy over 100Hz... I've studied their charts I'm not positing that it...

Hey, I have nothing against Dirac, but, if you've seen the system they use as a demo, it has 8 independent subs. Do you have a pre/pro that will support that? Forgoing having 8 subs, you will have to have full range speakers for all channels in your home theater. Playing stereo? You are...

The only thing I'd quibble with is the geometry shown in the overhead showing the 7.1.4 Speaker Layout speaker placement looking down into the room. The left and right speakers should be 30° out from the main listening position at the very least for stereo. For surround or LCR setups, where you...

Hey, unless your computer monitor is huge (which none are), I understand why they have gone away. As to TV's, there really is no reason for curved TV's unless they are at least 12 feet wide. Even then, I'm dubious that this huge and incredibly expensive TV is really offering a better viewing...

Having heard what both Dirac and Audessey can do, I was impressed with both. Possibly, Dirac is a hair better because of its ability to do more custom adjustments. Again, possibly. I had an active speaker go a bit wobbly and using the Audessey VST plug-in corrected it for mixing and playing...

Unfortunately, Gene, I am not. Not for any particular reason, but because they don't usually have the equipment I want would be the biggest one. Also, most of the equipment I do want can be bought directly from a manufacturer. Using proper reviews that include measurements, you can get a very...

Taking hi-res digital and porting it to vinyl is directly equivalent to taking a Blu-ray disc and putting it on VHS tape. If you think you can hear the difference because of the source, you are fooling yourself. Also, all of the points made about analog tape in the article are thoroughly valid...

Not to trash this amp or NAD, but I wouldn't buy this amp for a few reasons: A few companies offer Purifi mono and stereo amps for significantly less cost For a home theater or stereo set-up, having a mono amp very close to the speakers is slightly better than having the amp in a rack with long...

Quite interesting. A guy from an audio web site hasn't offered thoroughly non-truthful, opinionated info. I'm quite taken aback. It happens so rarely. Keep it up.
