Can someone explain why Coax is used over some of the newer technologies since we all know HDMI is preferred due to shear speed and signal.

Yes the highly touted DS90 Topping has its share of issues not sure what causes this but it's all over the web same issue with Audio dropping out. It's low distortion of course and great sounding 2 channel but a little quirky sometimes.

This is what I found when I was setting up a separate input for my Blue Ray to separate out HDMI from Audio. Anthem products use virtual inputs to allow users to create up to 30 custom inputs without tying any physical input to another: Input names: Users can name each input. Video inputs...

Are we saying autophase matching to mix in the mains?

I assume you already level matched the speakers with a test tone and yet still the issue occurs?

Nice, I had the same impression when I hooked them up at a shop I have access to and used a few different systems and AMP's. Extremely powerful sound stage I know rooms are all different but if you start with amazing how can you go wrong. I don't think you can because other brands still have...

Tons of numbers out there. The numbers are close but the 90 is just a much better sounding unit and the popular opinion is just that so that's real world. Perhaps those big box vendors can tell you why just slightly better numbers result in a worse sounding unit because that's real world stuff.

You're sticking to numbers that aren't giving you great sound for whatever reason so you trust your numbers I'll trust what most people would chose myself included, AVM 90 over any Marantz or Denon period.

Again, throw all the numbers you like the Anthem 90 beats the AV 10 easily in sound quality it's not up for debate everyone agrees that has tested both not just me so something is off if you're suggesting otherwise.

So you're one of those that believe the Marantz sounds as good or better than the AVM 90 due to how the numbers look is what you're saying and now I'm snake oil because I disagree with that as many many folks do? I see. So you're one of those that believe the Marantz sounds as good or better...

Well that's a great honest opinion, I know many like the highs when done right I know it can have a great impact on the overall sound.

I just don't want people coming here and coming to the conclusion that a Marantz AV 10 sounds better than an Anthem AVM 90 and many people here seem to think they essentially sound the same, that's simply not true. Anthem sound is far superior and anyone that has owned both of these units would...

I'm sharing real world experiences vs just the numbers, folks should pay attention to that.

There are of course sounds that hit your directly and yes no one can get away from reflections that's a known by everyone nothing new. I start with a basline to understand the capabilities of a speaker before I dump it into any room. On axis and off axis stuff is important of course to the...

We all know there is a speaker for everyone. Too many people think ear jarring highs are good and too many designers build that in as a preference without balancing out the mids, this is just going around and hearing these so called high end speakers for myself. Of course people eventually end...

I'm aware of this and have heard all types of speakers. I usually start by taking them outdoors since I don't have anechoic chamber to see how they sound without room reflections if you're asking me about speakers and the difference. I know some focus on Mids, too many focus on highs. I can...

My initial testing was done by wire switching (not me my wife, started unplugged so I had no idea what was plugged into what and I myself was blindfolded, level matched systems baseline etc. I did buy a switchbox later for this type of testing and my testing with the AVM 90 vs the AV 10 was...

Wife helped me. I used that method and switchbox later once my switchbox arrived that didn't change my opinion on anything. I understand the concept don't' panic I know what I'm doing.

I never said it was done by me. Read my strings. Wow I think folks here make conclusions then ask questions later it seems. This is done by another party, level matched disconnecting of speakers and not knowing the sequence multiple times. Of course all of the other things come into play.

If that's your stance here to attack people that disagree with you then it's not a good stance to take. I'm saying and I have always said measurements count to a degree when something is awful you can validate the reasons in measurements but acceptable is where the problem is, let's face it you...
