Greetings guys ... The last 6 months have been extremely intense for my "day job," which is in auto finance and the pair of dealerships into which I invested in 2017. The dealerships have kept me extremely busy with some serious issues - which started before the Coronavirus hit. As I type, here...

Hi all - We recently ordered a pair of Axiom LFR-1100 Active speakers for both ownership and review. The passive LFR-1100's are one of my all time favorite speakers, and consist of 3 front firing, 6.5 inch long throw woofers, 2 front firing 5.25 inch mids and 2 front firing 1 inch dome tweeters...

Greetings all - We had opened a thread that was originally going to be about all 2 channel audio, but after a lot of thought, it just seemed to make more sense to write a separate review thread about each set of speakers reviewed, starting with the Ohm SSC-4900's. We ordered the speakers in...

Greetings - Now that things are getting back to normal on the home front, I am starting a thread on something I always wanted to do: explore two channel audio while keeping the cost relatively affordable. This will be an on going thread, with some surprises in regards to speakers and...

Hi HTF members and guests ... Two years ago, we did six $1000 subwoofers. Last year, we did several $2500ish subwoofers. This year, we are looking at budget gear like the Monoprice 50 watt per channel tube amp, Dayton's B652 and B652 Air bookshelf speakers in the $30-$50 per pair range, a...

Hi all - It's time to start looking at some subwoofers for serious bass enthusiasts. Last year, we did 5 subwoofers in the "just under $1000 delivered" range. It was a lot of fun, and all the subwoofers did quite well. Now let's start looking at some of these $2000-$2500 subs. The first sub...

Speaker testing, especially when doing an "A" versus "B" speaker test, has been one of the more controversial aspects of this hobby for not just years, but for decades. Most speaker tests involve the reviewer taking a pair of speakers, putting them in his system, listening to some tracks, then...

As stated in the thread title, this is dedicated to testing and living with subwoofers which one can purchase for under $1000 USD, delivered to one's home. The $1000 threshold has to be available at any time (sales don't count), and the pricing has to include shipping. In each test, the...

Does anyone know where TC sounds builds their drivers now ? I have asked this on a couple of threads, with no answer. I checked out my PB10-ISD's driver yesterday, and there are no markings on it. I also e-mailed TC sounds, but did not get an answer. Regardless of the locale of TC sounds, I...

After all the uproar last week about Rocket Canada and my involvement, I have decided not to get involved in it. There were too many things "wrong" with the situation. Mark Schifter has been a wonderful human being through all this, and has indicated he will handle Canada on his own. The...

Jimmy - Let's continue this here. You say the free market system has not provided a solution to the smoking vs. non smoking problem ? Sure it has, maybe in your area there is just not enough demand for non smoking bars...

In an effort to check out what is available in the VERY entry level home theater world, I ordered a Rocket Tykes 5.1 system. It sells for $399 normally on AV123.com and the usually have special on other gear allowing a full 5.1 set up, including receiver, DVD player, and the Tykes for around...

This week Mike Dzurko and I agreed it was time that his Maestro subwoofer got a review. It sells for $2050 to $2350 depending on finish, and is, according to Mike, an extremely high powered sealed subwoofer... It is due sometime in September, so hopefully we can get it in time for outdoor...

Over the past 45 days, we have been trying to organize a speaker shootout. To date we have three definites... and this has involved a LOT of involement from the manufacturers as to which speakers they want to send, the room size, pricing vs. the competition... etc... So far, for a two channel...

There is a Velodyne thread on AVS now titled "Which one should I get, The Velodyne DD-15 or the DD-18" There were some statements made about the B4+ and its performance in John E Johnson's test of both the DD-18 and the B4+. As this unfolds, please understand any flaming remarks toward...

Since this is Edsub's domain (;) ...sorry Ed, could not resist) ... I usually don't post here... But Since I am selling the Pb2+ and getting the B4+ ... thought I would say hey ! .. Question... K1 ? ... or K2 ? ...

This morning, we put the PB2+ into a corner... set the now calibrated mike at 2 meters from the subwoofer... We also put the previously calibrated Rad Shack at two meters... that $39 unit is excellent... The results for a single PB2+, with no regard for anything except max output on a...
