    Onkyo Icon Series to offer Dirac Live, Bass Control and ART

    I cannot wait to see the real specs and some bench tests. This is exactly the sort of equipment I have been waiting for, in the price range that I can reach. If these measure decently and the CAD price isn’t too out of line, Christmas will be good! After disappointment with not getting the...

    Voxx has been sold to new owner (Gentex).... Klipsch, Onkyo, Integra, etc...

    Man, as a long time Pioneer and Onkyo fan who will be looking to upgrade in the next two years I sincerely hope they make some quality products instead of sending these marques the way of Energy and Mirage…

    Review and Measurements of Crown XLS 1502 Amp

    It looks like I came to the right place. I love this hobby, but the more I learn, the less I know. It's just like getting old, only fun. :D I have spent the majority of my time over the last 3 or 4 years learning about how to squeeze the absolute last drop out of the components I can afford...

    Review and Measurements of Crown XLS 1502 Amp

    Fantastic! Thank you for that. I won’t pretend to understand what the hell I just browsed, but I learned enough to see where I was wrong about the power draw for this unit. This will give me some reading material for a while, lol!

    Review and Measurements of Crown XLS 1502 Amp

    I suppose then, I need to know what the spec is. Can you fill me in? I would like to see more information from Crown in their manuals, they’re pretty weak these days, and false power inflation is a huge problem throughout the industry. For instance, my father has a pair of EV speaker for...

    Review and Measurements of Crown XLS 1502 Amp

    Does that mean that this power supply is able to pull more juice from the wall than what it is labeled for? Do you know how I could find out the amperage rating at full draw? I have quite a bit of audio equipment, and the only stuff I have that actually seems to be pulling what it claims to...

    Review and Measurements of Crown XLS 1502 Amp

    It’s labeled on the unit itself, right above the plug. 250 watts, and the 2502 has a stamp of 425 watts. Neither unit has an amperage draw rating. Now, I’m curious about this because if we assume 80% efficiency the power supply would need to draw close to 11 amps to hit 500 watts. Do we...

    Review and Measurements of Crown XLS 1502 Amp

    Forgive me for asking, but how are these wattage numbers possible? I have the Crown XLS 1502, and the power supply states 250W consumption. How is that they are measuring at 271 per channel continuous? Can someone walk me through how this (or any amp) can output more than it's power supply...
