    when are manufacturers going to make AV Recievers with dedicated left and right stereo amps for hifi

    Hi Guys , Im really frustrated in that every forum or review I have read indicates that all the av recivers reviewed dont hold a candle to a dedicated stereo amp in regards to hi-fi enjoyment, Why is that! Surely these guys understand that most of us who enjoy HT are also lovers of music and...

    swapping my velodyne spl1200r for a REL storm5..?

    Hello all , Hey now I'm considering swapping out my SPL1200R velodyne in favor of an REL Storm5 , A couple of obvious things to consider are , 1. the velo is a past winner of the EISA sub of the year , 2. its a 2008 model 3. it has a 1000 watt amp with a 12" driver and hits 18 hz as opposed to...
