AV NIRVANA
(April 17, 2017) AV NIRVANA, the Internet’s newest Audio Video enthusiast destination, is proud to announce its official public launch. The site offers unique industry news coverage, professional movie and gear reviews, and a state-of-the-art forum environment where members can discuss anything and everything to do with the world of home theater and two-channel stereo.

The well-rounded staff of AV NIRVANA is comprised of seasoned veterans with strong ties to the AV industry and experience operating forum environments. What makes them truly special is a deep-rooted passion for AV gear, music, and movies. The staff is currently working on exciting reviews of products from HSU Research, Integra, GoldenEar, SVS, OPPO, Crown, and more! The site's first official reviews will include HSU's CCB-8 speakers, Integra's DRX-R1 AV receiver, OPPO's Sonica, and the ultimate SVS Ultra Dolby Atmos system! In addition, staff members will be attending this week’s AXPONA show in Chicago. You can learn more about the site’s Senior Administrators, Writers, and Reviewers by clicking here.

Site members can expect to experience a clean and fun moderated forum environment that’s open and welcoming. Everyone, from the novice to the expert, is invited to join the conversation, ask questions, and share knowledge. Members will also have opportunities to win exciting gear and movies. In fact, new members have an opportunity to win a free Blu-ray copy of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story as part of the site’s launch celebration! Click here for more information.

AV NIRVANA is also proud to be the new official host of the Room EQ Wizard help forum. It’s also the only place where AV enthusiasts will be able to download future beta releases of REW software. REW is one of the most powerful tools available for measuring room and loudspeaker responses, and it’s free! The software’s author, John Mulcahy, is present and active on the forum.

AV NIRVANA is primed and ready to grow into the web’s best AV forum community, and expansion is planned to happen rapidly. If you’re a social media user, you can follow AV NIRVANA on Facebook and Twitter. Otherwise, sign up for site membership, build your forum profile, share details and pictures about your system, and start making your presence felt! The entire staff looks forward to seeing everyone on the forum!

I'm not looking so much for big things, I'm really just looking forward to being around people that enjoy the hobby as much as I do. This industry runs on big things though, & I just love talking about them!

Others have already expressed the overwhelmingly positive feelings I share for the staff, their preparation, and execution. They've already seeded this site's foundation with an engaging variety of topics and reviews. It'll be rewarding to learn from the immense talent already gathered, and from those yet to join. Thanks for providing a quality experience!

Yes, it is a lot of work and I can't express how proud I am of our team of partners, admins, mods, and reviewers. But it takes users to build a community and we also have some wonderful members.

And Negatron, we are watching you! You are close to that 100 post milestone yourself, so you will be getting called out soon.:hail:
