    Dual mono sub outs on a 340W integrated - who is bass managing this?

    Secrets posted a preview of the Michi Prestige X430 and the spec that stopped me was not the power. Up to 340 watts into 4 ohms, six digital inputs and an ESS SABRE ES9039Q2M sitting inside is roughly what you would expect at this end of the market. The part worth talking about is the dual mono...

    A stereo amp with HDMI ARC and a phono stage - and no price in the review

    Read the Onkyo Y-40 review this morning and came away with two thoughts, one about the amplifier and one about the review.

    The old Caspian gear had a long run and a lot of goodwill behind it, so a fourth generation was always going to get read closely. The pairing is a streaming preamplifier at $4,500 and a power amplifier at $3,750, with an integrated sitting underneath at $5,000 with the streaming module or $3,750...

    Marantz Model 70 has HDMI ARC and a sub out, the Arcam A5+ has neither

    What Hi-Fi ran the new Marantz Model 70 against the Arcam A5+ and gave it to the Arcam on sound. Fair enough, but I don't think that's the interesting part of the comparison if the amp is going in a room that has a television in it. On paper these two are near twins. 50 watts a side, moving...
