Onkyo TX-SR805 AV Receiver Review
The Onkyo TX-SR805 represents the current pinnacle of value at its price point. It sounds good, decodes all the latest HD audio codecs, sports a large power supply, has an impressive feature set, THX Ultra2 certification, and Audyssey MultEQ at a price well below what the competition offers. This high level of value is not just limited to this particular model; Onkyo has spread value and features across their entire product line. Onkyo has resurged into the market as a serious player once again and clearly upped the ante with the TX-SR805. Highly recommended.

EMP ECA-4 & ECA-44 Compact Satellite Speaker System Review
This is a must have solution for any application requiring a compact clutter free and inconspicuously mounted installation. For a limited time, EMP is extending more than 50% off their MSRP plus FREE shipping which makes this system even more attractive and a very uncommon value. So basically $729 gets you 5 high performance compact satellite speakers and their new high power compact e10S subwoofer. This is a “cubed speaker system” killer for well under $1k.

Are you ready for the best Yes concert DVD to ever hit the market? Folks, I have them all; I own Yessongs, Live in Philadelphia (1979), Live From the House of Blues, Anderson - Bruford - Wakeman - Howe, and even Keys to Ascension and none of these even come close to the audio, video and production of Yes Symphonic Live.
Incredible sound performance! This movie got "Best Sound" at the Academy Awards and this is the chance for DVD collector's to see why. Be warned that the depth charges may cause multiple concussions if your subwoofer can deliver the full impact of this movie.
Steely Dan is one of my all time, favorite bands. Their music offers tremendous diversity, style and talent that's found in few bands today. Furthermore, their music has endured the test of time and even their most recent work, "Two Against Nature," is destined to be a classic.
Al Pacino gives an unforgettable performance as Tony Montana, one of the most ruthless gangsters ever depicted on film, in this gripping crime epic inspired by the 1932 classic of the same title.
Christmas Eve can be a strange and wondrous time - especially in New York City where multiple personal stories seem to connect and collide. A lonely and divorced publisher, Rose Harrison (played by Susan Sarandon) seemingly lets life pass her by as she centers her life around caring for her mother who has late stage Alzheimer's.
This year has been a good one for RUSH fans. The Canadian trio has been together for over 30 years, and continues to have a dedicated following. Two recent DVD releases are sure to please the long time fan, with both old and new material to choose from.
As any even casual reader of the Audioholics forums knows, Gene and Clint are HUGE fans of this band. As anyone who has read nearly any of my reviews knows, I tend to be a tiny bit tough. Put the two together, and I'm probably out of a job. So you're probably not reading this, which means I'm talking to myself again, which means I need to up my meds…
The sound performance in this movie was very good. Of course, this was no disc of the action genre, but was still crisp and clear. The surround sound could be definitely be discerned throughout. Great!
This is the thrill-packed story of two Vietnam-vets-turned-cops who have just one other thing in common: both hate to work with partners. But their partnership becomes the key to survival when a routine murder investigation leads to all-out, take-no-prisoners, martial-arts-and-machine-guns war with an international heroin ring.
Solid sounds stemming from many high-performance vehicles really impressed me about this film. Since this was a movie of the action genre, it was "constant". It was certainly better than the original film, when it comes to audio.
