    Sound United Acquires D&M Group (Denon,Marantz, boston)

    I'm guessing the direction they will all be taken (though likely most all production is there already) is Far East Asia. :(

    Internet Direct Speaker Brand Comparison

    Great! Glad to hear they are only temporarily out of that arena.

    Internet Direct Speaker Brand Comparison

    Yeah thanks for pointing that out - they are pro-monitors (i.e. powered speakers) though, not what is mentioned in the article's table nor comparable to the others mentioned in the article which focuses on home audio/home theater speakers from ID vendors. Granted Emotive is a great ID company I...

    Internet Direct Speaker Brand Comparison

    Why is Emotive mentioned? They have since at least 2014 only offered their in-wall/ceiling and outdoor speakers and as of the last few months listed as closeout. Though fine speakers when they were making them the X-REF and Ultra lines have been laid to rest for some time now.

    Enter to Win a Set of DD Audio DXB-03 On-Ear Headphones

    Questions: 1. Are you familiar with the DD Audio brand? If yes, what is your perception of our company. If no, what would it take to earn your consideration for a home or personal audio purchase. No - I would like to see/read more feedback from reputable forum members or other review sources...

    What is the best home subwoofer in the world?

    As a PSA XS15se owner I of course am not really surprised to see it listed in one of the categories. I too can vouch for Tom's chat availability and honesty. He even talked me down to a sealed model from the vented model due to my room dimensions and intended use. I am very pleased with the...

    What's the best $500 AV Receiver for 2014?

    Has there been any reliable reviews or comparisons of the new Onkyo AccuEQ system. All I have seen is statements made that it is not as good as the Audyssey offering - with no real proof. Yes you can look over the spec sheet of both calibration methods but the proof is in the sound, albeit an...

    Home Theater Prewire Basics - Introduction

    Conduit virtually eliminates many of the issues of pre-wiring I too could only think "why not run a conduit" (like a 3" PVC) instead of worrying about dedicated flavor of the year wiring at the time of building. I see others have mentioned this as a suggestion. I would revise the article...

    Power Sound Audio XV-15 Subwoofer Review

    Unboxing the XS15se Well I got the sub (very fast shipping BTW!) Here are some photos of the unboxing. While it was not double boxed it seems to have travelled well.

    Power Sound Audio XV-15 Subwoofer Review

    I too popped onto the site as I was looking into possible units to replace my Carver sub with. I spoke with a knowledgeable source who suggested a XS15se in lieu of the VX15se I was initially there to get more detail on. Based on my media room size 2400 cu ft and the fact it is sealed with no...

    Power Sound Audio XS15se and XV30Fse Subwoofer Preview

    Glad to see some coverage for the PSA subs. I'm looking into the XS15se as a replacement for my PWR surge damaged Carver Cinema Sub (which is/was 17 yrs old anyway). It was well past a renewal and I think I got my $ worth from the Carver. I was visiting PSA's website and engaged in a chat on...

    New 2014 Pioneer AV Receivers: VSX-44/80 & VSX-824/1024/1124-K Preview

    Well now that I can view some other details (like the photos which tell more then product announcements) I see there is not a full set of pre-outs in even the top two offerings. With only limited class A/B amp topology I would have hoped at least the Elite line-up had a full 7.2 pre-out option...

    New 2014 Pioneer AV Receivers: VSX-44/80 & VSX-824/1024/1124-K Preview

    It's rather weird that the Pioneer US website has no information available on their A/V receivers page: just apps and accessories. I wanted to get more information but this page (see link) has nothing. A/V Receivers | Pioneer Electronics USA

    2013 Midpriced AV Receiver Comparison: The Best AVR for $1,000?

    I would say that HK have biased themselves (if that is possible) in the last 3 series of AVRs. They are certainly knowledgeable about what makes a great sounding amp section but have not delivered it in quite a few years nor does their feature set or EZset EQ stand up to the competition. As...

    Samsung BD-F5900 Blu-ray Player Reviewed

    Of note to Amazon Prime and Instant Video users this device is listed on Amazon's website as one of Samsung's two BD players that will stream/run this service. Link to all Amazon compatible devices here. It is odd that Samsung does not list a full complement of all the streaming services...
