    Boston Acoustic's new - and ugly - speaker series

    As part of D&M holdings, it appears that Boston is now more a lower end/lifestyle brand with Snell carrying on the upper end range (still Made in the USA, by the way).

    Theoretically..

    And even if they are the exact same speaker, if the manufacturer doesn't match the speaker to tight tolerances, they will sound differently.

    Theoretically..

    No. The other aspect that you need to consider is dispersion.

    Fluance .........Premier Acoustic........or?

    Maybe you should read all the negative said about Premier Acoustics and choose another brand? Bic Acoustech might be a good choice.

    MK sound is it dead?

    Well, excellent speakers won't overcome bad management, and in the case of M&K that's where the problem lay, as far as I can tell. You don't have "supplier" problems unless you don't pay the bills. They used fairly standard drivers (Vifa and such) and apparently were unable to obtain them...

    Need opinions: Orb vs Klipsch Cinema 10 vs SVS SBS-01

    Did you think after talking to Ron of SVS that he'd give you the impression that it was a crummy system for the price?:)

    It looks like Outlaw is now in the speaker business

    Arthur: I'm not talking cabinets but the ability to pair match speakers to a reference. That is easier to do when speakers are produced in small batches and tested individually. I'm not sure how many Chinese factories do this (individually test each speaker off the line), but I know that many...

    It looks like Outlaw is now in the speaker business

    Sure, but it is much harder to control quality (the +/- 1/2 db matching for instance) building them in Asia.

    loudspeaker vs. satellite speaker

    Not sure if it's within the comprehension of a caveman.

    Ascend Questionable Warranty Inquiry Response

    You are either stupid or obtuse (or? you tell me). The Ascend specs say UNCLIPPED PEAKS. YOU WERE CLIPPING AN UNDERPOWERED RECEIVER. End of story.

    Ascend Questionable Warranty Inquiry Response

    Actually, the reason for voiding the warranty was your clipping an underpowered receiver over a period of years (by your own admission). Very simple, really. And, your being honest with Ascend should earn you no brownie points. If you had sent the woofers to them for inspection, your...

    You are being way too nice to a jerk that doesn't deserve the time of day at this point. Regards, Tony

    Premier Acoustic PA-6F Speaker Review

    And should we trust the opinion of speakers by someone who acknowledges he's deaf?

    Can Hsu V12 Fill a large room with sound?

    That's odd. I watched their infomercial and everyone in the room was enraptured by the sound.

    My take on the HTD speakers ...

    I'm not. Let's see. They're placed on a 51 inch tv, which would limit how much space between them. In addition, they're way too high. The ribbon has controlled dispersion, aimed at sounding best in the sweet spot. Well guess what. In this setup, there is no sweet spot. These (most) speakers...

    Boston Acoustics VRM-60 Versus B&W DM600 S3??

    Let's see. You have both and you want someone else to tell you which is better?

    YAMAHA RX-V2500 APPEARED 2 YRS AGO- STILL A GOOD CHOICE?

    Not the manufacturer's warranty of course, but the Butterfly warranty (I guess if they don't want to cover it they flit away).

    stop the subwoofer madness

    How about adding the caveat "In my experience" or some such. Otherwise, it's just so much hot air and boosterism and really can't be taken seriously (by me). BTW, I admire SVS and Tom's and Ron's work. I just think it's a bit silly to declare anything the best...period. It would be like my...

    Vandersteen 2Ces Vs. ??? For Home Theater

    I had a long conversation (as long as you can with him anyway) with Richard Vandersteen and he strongly recommended the VCC-5 to go with the 2Ce. He said the VCC-1 would not keep up with the anything but the 1C. I haven't heard the VCC-1, so I am only going from 2nd hand knowledge (although it...

    Vandersteen 2Ces Vs. ??? For Home Theater

    I think the VCC-5 (the recommended center for the 2ce) will run you a bit more than $1200 alone.
