2020 Yamaha AVRs w/Multiple HDMI 2.1 Ports

I'm probably wrong but I thought higher slew rate and dampening factor were more attributed to faster, cleaner transients and better woofer control?

IIRC, Damping Factor = Bass, Slew Rate = Treble.

So I think we want Damping Factor to be 200 or more and Slew Rate to be 30 V/ms or more.

Wasn't meant to be. Was based off what I remember reading/hearing back in the 1980's. That's why I started the sentence with "I'm probably wrong".

No pun intended, wasn't making fun at your expense. On a audio forum you'll get a lot of opinions.

@txbonds, like this post.

Yes, something like that. Saw it more in car audio specs and advertising back then.

No worries. I just looked briefly the thread I think you were referring to. Will have to circle back when I have more time to read it. Interesting stuff. Thanks.

I think Harman Kardon used to brag about their slew rate in their AVRs. I guess now it's Yamaha's turn.

Sounds like the upcoming Xbox series X console and PS5 console are going to actually need HDMI 2.1. That would be the main reason to think about HDMI 2.1 in the near future.

Also HDR10+ is on the newer Samsung TVs. The new AVRs will support HDR10+ for those Samsung TV owners.

Well, I forgot to mention that the $29,000 pre-pro has magic built-in. It can take the worse sound and turn it into the most beautiful sound. Your room could be made of glass and it will make your room sound like the best acoustic sounding room. Oh, and it will also do your dishes, vacuum your house, and fold your laundry.

Oh, and it also includes a free upgrade to Windows-20.

I will say I've been learning more about Trinnov over the last few months. I've known about their products, but not them as a company. Found out last night that DTS:X was created using a Trinnov. That Trinnov has worked hand in hand with DTS, Dolby and others before anybody else to help create these new wonderful sound upgrades we all get to experience. So even though Trinnov products don't currently have HDMI 2.1, they are in the process of making the additional HDMI 2.1 boards for owners of the Altitudes or other products. It's a simple swap out process. Everything else associated with Trinnov can be done via a software upgrade.

I might need to get two Altitude 32's!! I need 64 speakers in my theater! I need the hear every minor detail in movies. Totally worth the $60k.haha!

There you go! In "reference" Like Gene, would say, it isn't easy trying to Explain audio Terminology. "Lame-man" terms. But than again Gene's, Sense of humor may not necessarily represent my sense of humor. That's why I suggested ask Gene or Bruno. Short answer 100 bucks that's what Audio Engineers cost per hour.

For that much money, they better give me HDMI 2.2 for 16K Video.

Yeah, didn't HK used to call their AVRs "high current" or something like that?

High-Current, low-Negative "feedback" read Article @Bruno P. , make note, or call @gene . 25-amp headroom, 35 amp headroom, sounds better because its Analog, < Not a proven fact.
My Favorite was by Emotiva's Marketing guys. Re-Defining high end. Or was it re-defining how you think of high end audio

Emotiva redefined "high-end", did they?

Can't really say, last time I posted up that Emotiva, "re-defined high-end" in my first profile back in 2012 I got banned by You when You was a Moderator for Genes website.

Haha. Very funny. I would not have banned you for something like that when I was an AH moderator.

For many years, Harman/Kardon called their amplifiers various marketing terms...

• Wide Bandwidth
• High Current

The funny thing is for High Current they would publish a spec like 20 Amps but never disclose the actual testing conditions like How long? would the amplifier deliver the high current spec?? Maybe 50mS..

Regardless their marketing fluff sold alot of receivers and amplifiers. My personal listening experience with HK products was that they usually sounded pretty good when driving high resolution, quality loudspeakers.

Just my $0.02...
