I'm thoroughly impressed with the Q Ascoustics Concept 500. The first thing that struck me was how much sound was generated by just two 6.5" drivers and the dome tweeter. Having owned the Revel F228BEs, JBL 4367 and many other speakers, the 500's sound reproduction deserves high honors (EISA...

One weekend I sat down and spent some time listening to the various sound formats found on the Onkyo TX-R70 remote as I cycled through a set of music. These are my general impressions: •Mono Music – Powerful •Pure Audio – Ethereal •Direct - Sharper Vocals •Stereo – Above but more bass •Dolby...

From what I had read Onkyo's factory closed down and all manufacturing was done in Sharp's factory. What lead me to believe that Sharp had a hand in the design is that Onkyo's engineers now work in the Premium Audio Technology Company Center (PACTC) in Osaka, Japan. This, from Forbes...

My mistake, 11 amplified channels for the RZ70 (and I own the RZ70), I use outboard higher wattage power amps despite the outstanding measurements and listening impressions of the amps within it. For a variety of reasons I would never buy an Onkyo, but the the 50 & 70 were designed with Sharp...

You'll have no problem powering 9 channels but 2 will be via outboard amps. I'm not a fan of in-wall speakers but they may work fine for you. It puts sound into the wall and that can be iffy. I prefer standalone speakers but that's just me. Acoustically, the enclosures are designed to mitigate...

I had no issues whatsoever with the Anthem AVM60. Prior to sending it to Amir here at ASR, I wanted to ensure it functioned 100% as designed, so I had Anthem check it out and it passed a battery of tests. Only then was I 100% certain that the unit was not a lemon in any way and whatever the...

Increases in volume are audible differences. But to your point, if two different units played at the same decibel level, true, one might not be able to discern which is which in a blind hearing test. If you run separate high end amps like I do, lower SINAD is not good. Starving your amps of...

I am the owner of the unit Amir tested. Yes it had the latest firmware update and yes it was zeroed out by a factory reset. Better yet, I sent it to Anthem in advance to run tests on to ensure it was fine before contacting Amir and sending it to him. The timing of when it was reviewed on ASR was...

Here's the back of the unit.

The lowest dB change most people can detect is 3 decibels. The SNR between the 3600 & the 3800 is about 10. That volume difference is noticeable.

Hi, seven years ago on the 4th of July while playing a bomb of a movie (King Kong) in my townhouse basement home theater, the output of my two 15" woofers resulted in unexpected visitors on my deck knocking at my sliding doors. Initially, the lights shining through my curtains were thought to be...

If I understand this correctly, Onkyo's TX-RZ70 Signal to Noise ratio via HDMI smoke every audio video receiver ever measured on ASR? The R70's sister, the TX-RZ50 came in at 97, but Onkyo (I'm assuming) built the RZ70 on different platform to achieve these results? Not only that, the TX-RZ70's...

Really? So you know of a brand that makes every single product flawless?

I resubmitted my request for a replacement and I got it 2 weeks later, the PA5 replaced with the PA5II Plus SV, whatever that model version is. I retained the original power supply and it works like a champ. When I read the nature of the bashing of Topping here, I ask myself, how many of you...

I didn't wade through all the test results but I seem to miss what, if any conclusion came of testing this center? I've had wider dispersion centers and some whose dispersion wasn't as good. Interestingly, there are some damn great-sounding centers that aren't as ideal as others with dispersion...

Here are some basic considerations I've learned over time. You're a hunter, an audio value hunter. The highest value = Used Audio market. Build a Frankenstein system from Craigslist or FB Marketplace (USAudiomart.com or Audiogon.com) by purchasing heavily discounted floorstanders and...

Good stuff. My friend Paul put in a 30 amp fuse for my equipment and two Goldenear Super XXL subs. I'm running 2200 watts total system power into 8 ohms, almost double for 4 ohms, all Hypex NCore (ATI and Nord amps). Your cabling is solid. A Home Depot presenter to electricians and others in...
