For sure- and there is no toroidal transformer it appears from the picture with the cover off. Esp with that many channels cant see how they accomplish that with headroom in one chassis without using D topolgy on most/all channels . My anthem 1120 (also 11.2 with 11 on board amps has a...

Todd- bravo- very very hard to find fault with those choices-your comments are fair and insightful and will save a number of people a lot of time (and money !) I would add one point -you pay a price , in several senses, for the Golden Ear size factor- you may not be able to place it exactly...

Great response Matthew- So Matthew it sounds like you are an advocate of stacking subs if possible ? Regarding. Multiple subs, I understand one should try to use an identical sub, or at least similar size driver and power/amplifier (and excursion, but thats not as transparent to pruchaser) BUT...

Thanks Matthew - (Way more than I wanted to know LOL!) But seriously I was clueless-never heard this discussed before, and I see now you are really addressing considerations on 1) keeping noise out and sound in the listening room and 2) create more of a tactile effect. Other than reducing the...

Would like to know if anyone else has heard MQA demo to date ? I have in the UK and was impressed. Sounded way closer to CD quality than iTunes. I think this going to enter marketplace soon on AV equipment, esp hi end , as long as licensing fees don’t strangle it in its infancy.

I have the ten inch version and while I am not playing organ music, it sounds great ....but i have a 2500 cu foot room and am going to add a second one. At $500 each, able to move easily to dial in right room placement, and better WAF, readers shoudl eriosuly consider these- I regard this as the...

Dude/Todd- so both \Yamaha and Marantz at this level are totally class D ? Woudl be interested to hear your thoughts on Anthem receivers that maintain a class AB architecture for five main channels then class D for surrounds. (Of course $500 more at least watt/watt) Anthems ARC reputed to be...

Great review, and as alwasy SVS offering a very competitive product (not a cuirrent owner, but have heard great things about their customer service) I have owned REL, M&K, JL subwoofers in the past but have always auditioned an SVS product at the same time and they have always been in the...
