    Watts Per Channel Question

    If he's lucky. Most mass market receivers tout large numbers but when proper measurements are taken they don't deliver in the moments of a soundtrack or album when it counts. I used to have a Yammy RXV800 that was rated at 100w per channel RMS...but I took some output measuremenst one time...

    Thoughts on NAD quality

    Hey Lars, and everyone else reading this thread. I thought I would share some photos of my new NAD m25 with you. I always see people with their dogs in the picture, so I figured I would do the same. I guess it adds some scale. Out of the box....plus the dog again. Top view. The...

    NAD 765 vs ARCAM 280 vs Yamaha 1800

    This might be coming in a bit late but I guess this might help anyone who is in the same position with a purchase dilemma. I personally cannot speak for the ARCAM, I do not sell that one. But I do carry Yamaha/Denon/Pioneer Elite, as well as NAD. To make it short and sweet. Pick the NAD...

    Comparrison: Pioneer VSX-01TXH - Pioneer VSX-1018AH-K

    When I look down the specs chart from pioneers website I see a few glaring differences. 1. Power ratings. Elite give you full disclosure 20-20k, 8ohm, while the regular line gives 1khz rating...don't like that right off the top for the 1018. 2. Elite line has Faroudja 1080p...

    Batman Begins Part III

    Title - Gotham: The Hunt for Batman As for recasting the Joker, my heart says no, but my brain says yes, because I think another stellar actor could pull it off. Think Daniel Day Lewis (though I doubt he would). As for Villans, anybody BUT the Penguin and Catwoman. To cartoony and make me...

    *** Official SUPERBAD Review Thread

    I've been inner hyping this movie to myself for the last 4 months ever since I first saw the theatrical trailer on HDNet. And it blew my expectations out of the water big time. Favorite parts (that I can remember between all the laughing) were: The two cops reaction to McLovin taking down...
