review

Hi - I have spent a lot of time learning REW for purposes of placing and EQing my two subwoofers (SVS PB2000). I am now interested in getting a sense of how my other speakers (Totem Tribe IIs) are performing post YPAO(Yamaha 2070 receiver). The graph below shows the five speakers and the dual...

Hi everyone, I hope its okay to post a review here. If not, please let me know where else can I post? Thanks.

Has anyone listened to the towers? I can’t seem to find much online about them, and thought some of you shacksters might have auditioned the flagship series from BIC.

Hi everyone, Well I finally received the Marantz 6005 via Fedex yesterday. Looks like Fedex was a little rough on the box as the one corner was crushed in and upon inspection of the receiver its self the right side was slightly bent in but no damage to the inner parts and no broken parts...

[/CENTER] Audio: :4.5stars: The 5.1 DTS-HD-MA is a bit of tricky one to grade as this is not a typical adrenaline fueled sonic bliss type of presentation that we are all used to getting these days. That being said, this is definitely a thoughtful and well-rounded presentation. Directionality is...

I have been meaning to write this review for a long time. I bought the SVS MTS-02’s and the MCS-02. I was very scared to purchase these speakers because my budget is limited, and there are a lot of options in this price range. I was having a hard time believing that these 2 ½ way speakers...

[/CENTER] Audio: :5stars: The audio fares only marginally better than the video and is just as impressive as most other films that have been recently released. This is an extremely dynamic and very well balanced 5.1 DTS-HD-MA presentation. The imaging is wonderful as horses gallop off the...

Preamble I have been dreaming and planning my Home Theater now for over a year, along they way I have had to make many changes. Thanks to Home Theater Shack and many of its excellent members I'm finally getting close to having a completed, OK 80% completed HT room. There is still another 20% I...

Hi all, Fairly new to the forum and REW and would love to get some feedback on my latest attempt at EQing my new subs. I am not really sure what is going on by looking at the charts other than I have a huge peak around 46Hz or so. Anyways, I would love to get some feed back on your thoughts...

[/CENTER] Audio: :5stars: The 5.1 DTS-HD-MA mix for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 was quite honestly a masterpiece. Not in the sense of the wildly bombastic foundation shaking Transformers Dark of the moon, but in a thoughtful and extremely engaging way. Every ambient sound that...

[/CENTER] Audio: :5stars: Again, is it a surprise that PIXAR put out a 5 Star audio quality presentation? I think not. The only bad thing about this audio was that I had inadvertently pulled the sub cable out of the back of my DSP1124 and went 20 minutes without the sub running (DOH!). Once I...
