A lot of people are looking for the latest and greatest Home Theater addition and are always comparing different Speakers, Receivers etc... to other brands but are often mislead by the Tech Specs and other claims made by them.
I would like to discuss any questions people may have regarding the understanding of those Tech-specs and how to compare them to other various brands. To make the most informed decision possible before purchasing A/V Equipment. And getting the most bang for your buck as we all strive for the Ultimate Home Theater that we can afford.
Including: S/N & SPL Ratio's Power Output RMS WATTS Freq-Response THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) Design ETC....

Hey Alaskan, There's been many discussions of many technical subjects over the years on these forums. Some are much like beating dead horses 15 lives over. Aside from that, Axiom puts out a newsletter every so often and includes technical articles on, well, all of these things and has also done so for many years now. People can (and have for some time), accessed this info at the Axiom pages dedicated to it. You might want to have a look. Many folks on the forums are not new to these subjects. http://www.axiomaudio.com/guides

Apparently not many have read them, so I created a discussion forum to discuss the Fundamentals and Industry Standards. As I found out on other Forums that not everyone is aware of as I do not see these Topics being discussed on a regular basis. And their points are contrary to these very Fundamentals.
So please if you have anything to add to the Forum Topic at hand please do so. It doesn't matter how much you know i'm an Audio & Videophile but we should still practice our Fundamentals because those that forget history are doomed to repeat it.
This is for Audiophiles & Newbs alike to help eachother out.

The wife gave the kids beer today! I give Tom about 3 minutes to respond with the most likely following question: Which beer was it?
