    Revel F208 Tower Speaker Review

    It's the standard comment from those who don't own a pair of reasonably good and well integrated subwoofers. They don't know what they're missing.

    A Call For Humor!

    Yep. That's why they stopped using the imperial system alltogether. During the design phase, the propulsion engineers at Lockheed Martin in Colorado expressed force in pounds. However, it was standard practice to convert to metric units for space missions. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab...

    Wow. I didn't know it was physically possible for a country to send men to the moon. ;)

    As far as I know, the Apollo lander was developed and launched by NASA, not by a country. If your point was that the imperial system is great, because NASA is an american space agency, then sure, whatever you say. ;)...

    Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier Review

    The old, black version of RB-1090 (measured in 2020, so it must have been at least 15 years old): https://faktiskt.io/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=71655 One channel is slightly worse. That's the numbers below: 1W, 8 ohm, 1 kHz, second harmonic: -99 dB 1W, 8 ohm, 1 kHz, third harmonic: -109 dB...

    KEF R3 OR BOWER & WILKINS S706 s2 ???

    There are > 200 different subgenres of rock, and it probably covers at least 90% of the music most people listen to. (edit: It's just a reply to the comment about rock music. It's not the reason why Harman ended up using the test tracks they did). I agree.

    Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier Review

    1. The second harmonic is -80dB. The rest of the distortion is at, or below -94dB. 2. The dynamic range is very good. 3. The bandwidth is very good. 4. You get a lot of power for the money. 5. It's 20 years old, and not only does it still work. It still measures ok.

    Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier Review

    The idea was that a powerful amplifier should be able to handle a 2 ohm and even 1 ohm load. It's not useful with 99.9% of speakers of course, but you could get "impressive" current measurements using a short impulse at a very low impedance (look at the last image in my previous post, 242...

    Rotel RB-1070 Amplifier Review

    A review of the RB-1092 would be very interesting. I've always wondered if there was something wrong with the measurements by Secrets of Home Theater. I know Class D amps were less than stellar back then, but this bad? RB-1092 (Class D) 100W, 4 ohms = 1% THD+N @ 10 kHz (-40dB). RB-1080...
