Any thoughts on Martin Logan Motion 60xt?
I have the martin logan 60xti in my 2 channel listening area. They are incredible and possibly my favorite speakers I have ever owned to date. The sound is very full although I would not call it muscular or forward. It has a natural warmth. The mi... 
Klipsch Heresy iv...Your experience.
I'm going to post my negative opinion about the iv's. I do see that everyone posting here seems to have really positive things to say. Pro is the high sensitivity so you don't really need a beefy amp (although it couldn't hurt). I did like the nat... 
Klipsch Heritage Range
I had the heresy iv for a few weeks to audition and unfortunately was not happy with them. They are highly rated by the likes of Steve Guttenberg and Andrew Robinson on yt. I'm not saying those guys know what's the "best" but they have raving revi... 
SVS PC-4000 subwoofer (music only)...
Hi there all I can say is I Have had great experiences with SVS like many people I'm sure... I have always went with the sealed boxes. The particular model you reference I only remember reading bad reviews about. I have zero personal experience bu... 
FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
@simao I honestly do not know the answer to that ie whether or not companies will start being misleading all of a sudden. Certainly I would hope not. The other way I look at this... since I don't know how the ruling will or will not affect things.... 
FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
@simao yes you can. Which is what I said in my response. Feel free to read it again if you were offended. I was referring you being able, if you wanted, to comment on the govt regulations site that you don't care about the amplifier rule and think... 
FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
@g_nakamoto If you haven't done so already please comment on the govt response page. The deadline is Feb 16th. That is exactly what this measure aims to stop.

@audio2design I agree with everything you said. If the rule was removed due to lack of action from the community I don't want to hear a single complaint against faulty and misleading specs.

@sgreg1 I hope you are right and agree there is now am online community that can hold these companies accountable for bs claims. Frankly seeing the lack of care or maybe just trolls sheds light that many audiophiles feel great about what they know...

@unsound yes ideally a manufacturer lists power per channel with all channels driven. The "standard" is 2 channels driven with THD. This would be ideal but I dont think would be enforced any time soon. I would love to see that though. I think Gene...

@jaytor yes I think the hard-core audiophiles will be just fine but the fledgling and intermediate audiophiles will be lost trying to figure out what amp is best for them when the listed specs do not match with what they can actually get out of th... 
Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so
Blind jim. I see the arguments for picking a speaker first.. I totally get that... I feel the naim uniti series would go well with any speaker you pair it with. Again.. I think about your environment. If it’s your office the environment is complet...

@russ69 yes. Class AB is the boss but it has hit a ceiling I feel. Innovation is harder to come by in class AB. Mind you I currently run a 5 channel parasound in my HT and love it. On the other hand class D has room to grow. I can say the NAD amp ... 
FTC may end amplifier rule! ACTION NEEDED
Russ. I think we both can agree on this. There's something special about heavy amp. You bitch and complain as you get it into place but a part of you knows it's the real deal. I love 5 channel amps with two toroids. I auditioned the NAD c298 and i...

@rodman99999 why not expect truth in specs? Specs are supposed to tell you the technical aspects of components. An average consumer may assume the denon to produce 140 watts per channel 11 channels driven. The only reason I can quote the 64 wpc is...
