    JBL HDI-3600 Speaker Review

    1600 has less vertical directivity error around the crossover region, which could make an audible difference. I can’t comment on the waterfall plots very intelligently, but neither speaker shows distortion or compression issues that would present an audible problem.

    Anthem AVM90 AV Processor Review

    What? They should all be pretty comparable in sound.

    Anthem AVM90 AV Processor Review

    I’d put more stock in Monolith at this point.

    Anthem AVM90 AV Processor Review

    I mean, depending on your transducers and room acoustics you might have decent sound to begin with. I wouldn’t buy anything remotely complex from Emotiva given their history with software updates.

    Anthem AVM90 AV Processor Review

    I really wish we saw more "reasonably priced" processors in the sub-$2000 market. Emotiva notoriously doesn't support their products with firmware updates, leaving the ToneWinner AT-300 as pretty much the only option.

    Audyssey's Next Generation of Room Correction (MultEQ-X)

    Any chance a version of Audyssey could integrate moving mic method? I'll see myself out.

    Which is the same as saying "balanced." Obviously it's possible to have an XLR connector without being balanced.

    Removing the possibility of ground hum/noise with a balanced connection would be a much bigger benefit than a likely imperceptible amount of SNR gain. This can be a very real-world benefit and is what the vast majority of "pro" audio equipment uses balanced connections.

    Poll: How do you primarily listen to audio at home?

    Oooh, a Squeezebox Boom. I had a raspberry pi with picoreplayer and an XLR hat plugged into LSR305’s in my bedroom. I never used the system so decided to sell, but I still have Logitech Media Server in a Docker container.

    Poll: How do you primarily listen to audio at home?

    "Abhor" seems a bit strong. I have one attached to a small television in my bedroom. It's certainly better than the TV's built-in audio.

    Poll: How do you primarily listen to audio at home?

    I'm surprised 3.x is more popular than soundbars in this poll. I'd guess greater than 50% of the general public that spent money on dedicated audio is using soundbars.

    Pioneer VSX-LX505 (with Dirac) Unboxing and Overview

    Timing/impulse control really should handle the sub crossover.

    Pioneer VSX-LX505 (with Dirac) Unboxing and Overview

    Have you verified the frequency response at the crossover region? Edit: I'd agree it does a good job with the levels. Like night and day vs. XT32.

    So it's still responsible for failing at subwoofer integration?
