    Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H

    Yeah room is already treated. Honestly there's no complaints that I can think of. :) It's just the itch to try something new. And ARC seems to offer users the ability to do more intensive tweaks than what the MultEQ offers. Anyway I've forced myself not to make any rash decisions and for sure...

    Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H

    I just had a crazy idea. Bear with me and see if this might work. Since I wanna try both Auro3D and ARC/Dirac why not go get both Denon X6700H ( has Auro3D ) and MRX1140/AVM70 ( uses ARC ) instead of spending about $11k for the StormAudio ISP Core 16 which has both Auro3D and Dirac? With both...

    Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H

    Thanks Todd. Yep downloaded it and used it. But had to use Ratbuddyssey app since it's quite hard to use fingers to manipulate the curves on the editor app. Plus I used REW + the miniDsp 2X4 HD to integrate my 3 subs while also making my own house curve. Below is my FR with NO smoothing. Also...

    Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H

    Actually after looking at the Denon AVRs again I've decided to narrow my choice to either the X6700H vs the MRX1140. The X6700H is more than good enough for my needs if I do choose to get it. The one thing I like about the Denon is that it has Auro 3D while in the MRX1140 it's the flexibility to...

    Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H

    Hi again Sonnie...really value your opinion. Since being a lifelong Denon user I've somehow wanted to try other brands. Anyways I also have my eye on the Anthem AVM70. I don't wanna get into a debate as to the merits of AVR vs prepros but what I've always felt was the cost efficient of owing...

    Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H

    Planning to upgrade to a 9.2.4 HT setup. Can't decide between the Anthem MRX 1140 vs Denon AVR-X8500H. Not exactly the same specs and price point but so far have narrowed my picks to these 2. Thanks.

    Wharfedale Evo4 and the Arendal 1723 THX

    I'm quite intrigued by the Wharfedale Evo4 and the Arendal 1723 THX. For use mainly for movies as my LCR which one is the better choice? In my country I have no way to audition them so I just have to rely on reviews and suggestions.

    DSP: EQ’ing Full Range or Not – Testing the Ears

    I posted this article and these are some of the responses I got.... " if you have issues and fix them in one spot you are making the speaker inaccurate and if that issue doesn't exist in another you've just made that spot worse. If you have an issue that needs attention You have to measure all...

    REW FR after miniDsp EQ results

    The pictures above are the Spectrogram, RT60 and the Freq Response with all 3 subs ON and also with Audyssey ON. The 3 responses were taken at 3 different positions in a 3 seater sofa...the middle seat and the Left/Right seats next to the MLP.

    REW FR after miniDsp EQ results

    After getting 3 new SVS subs I had to redo my calibration. Spent a couple of days and hours doing REW with the miniDsp 2X4HD I was finally able to get the results which to me looks good. I was able to gets good results earlier but once I moved to take measurements to the Left and Right of the...

    Help analyzing results

    Hi...I'm fairly new to REW and would really appreciate all the inputs I can get. I've attached here some of the results needed and would hope for anyone to point out the issues that need to be addressed. My HT room is 13'X19'X8. I used to run dual subs but recently sold them and only using 1 SVS...
