    Onkyo Unveils Its Stunning New Icon Series of AV Components

    They look really nice! I wonder if any of the P-80's analog inputs can be configured as HT bypass? I could use one to add Dirac to my system.

    Winter Surprise! Marantz Launches Its Latest Integrated Amp, the MODEL 40n

    Honestly I don't know, I look at the spec sheet and I'm really puzzled. If a boutique company like Lyngdorf can make a device that does almost everything* this one does except it has more power, includes one of the best room correction systems on the market (complete with a high quality...

    Winter Surprise! Marantz Launches Its Latest Integrated Amp, the MODEL 40n

    At this price it should have room correction. Otherwise you have better options from Lyngdorf (with RoomPerfect) and NAD (with Dirac). Without room correction there's the EVO 150 from Cambridge Audio, with similar streaming capabilities but a lot more power.

    NAD T778 A/V Surround Receiver - Cool Running, Cool Looking… A Powerhouse of a Component! - Review

    Well it was thouroughly measured, it’s not a subjective opinion… NAD stuff hasn’t fared so well lately, in general. I think just the M33 got a pass. I’m quoting just from memory so could be entirely wrong, but I believe this receiver is compatible with modules v1 and there isn‘t and extremely...

    NAD T778 A/V Surround Receiver - Cool Running, Cool Looking… A Powerhouse of a Component! - Review

    Wasn‘t this kindof skewered on ASR for being rather mediocre? I was looking into buying one but no HDMI 2.1 and lots of bugs and problems in the owners’ threads.

    Onkyo RZ50 Owners thread

    This manual suggests to me that you need to measure each speaker in all the mike positions before moving on to the next speaker. Is this so? Seems cumbersome. Normally measurements are done for all speakers in a given mike position. At least that's the case for Audyssey, ARC, YPAO.

    Onkyo, Pioneer Elite, and Integra Deep Dive: A Fresh Look at the Brands’ Latest AV Receivers

    He’s got a pre-production model to demo the HDMI features. I’m also eager to hear any info on the new receivers, but no joy so far. I don’t even know if there‘s any difference whatsoever between the 505 vs the RZ50 apart from the chassis and branding.

    Onkyo, Pioneer Elite, and Integra Deep Dive: A Fresh Look at the Brands’ Latest AV Receivers

    So, does anybody know, are these receivers the same thing with a different brand/case or is there some meaningful difference in amplification and DACs? So far the only thing that’s different is Integra having the integration compatibility and advanced web configuration.
