| Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade THose Datzeels are very interesting. Should be for $150000.For most people in this world, I'd say advancements in Class D amplifiers is the thing that most people with modest budgets should be looking into.

| Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced Nothing really. Just cause something does not float my boat does not mean it might not be the apple of another's eye. 🍎 👀 | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer If it an be done from start to end product and review in an open, tightly controlled, and unbiased manner then I would probably find it somewhat interesting. Not an easy thing to pull off though. | |
| Sound Quality of Direct TV audio I don't know but would not surprise me if most digital TV providers do something similar. Most people are not audiophiles who care about full range sound reproduction. Filtering out low bass could well make things sound better for many with lesser... | |
| Interesting project started by Michael Fremer Will the result determine which technology is better or who is the better mastering engineer?There is a huge sample of quality recordings out there both analog and digital in various formats. Not sure what two additional data points can prove rega... | |
| Funniest Quote About Your Audio "Affliction" its not hard to reconcile science and religion to each other as long as you keep fanatics out of it. | |

That's why most speaker makers understate what power is needed for best performance. It would scare off potential customers in many cases if they told them how much power was... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Whoops my mistake. I read the prototypes are offered for reduced cost. The new line itself is not referred to as prototypes. In Addition to the use of the powered subs other differences with the line is use of refurbed older cabinets like those fr... | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers The ohm site still refers to the models with this approach as "prototypes" pending more feedback from users. It appears the subs are also downward facing in the cans immediately below the traditional CLS driver. It's a very unique design it would ... | |
| Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II or Pharaoh Integrated Pharaoh no doubt. It's a wonderful sounding piece maybe one of the best. I could downsize to one and be happy. I like Cronus magnum as well but only for clear tube amp applications. | |
| Ohm Acoustics introduces its 20/20k beta speakers Strictly gut but If it were me these would optional additional models that deliver a more robust low end out of a smaller box right out of the box. Offloading bass to powered sub means smaller external amps can be used and usually means better per... |
