Home Audio Receiver Speaker Calculator

I have a home theater where 3 of the seats have Buttkicker tactile transducers, for those earth quaking explosions etc. Tactile transducers require a lot of wattage from your amp, so a pro amp suited me best (lots of power, drive low ohms, cheaper per watt). However, since my home theater receiver only had the typical -10 dB output on the sub-woofer channel, I needed something to bring it up to the +4 dB required by the professional amp. This box is an affordable way to integrate professional audio equipment into your home theater. No fuss, just works. Just be careful when you now do the channel balancing, since you'll have three places to adjust the audio level, 1) the receiver, 2) the MB15b Promatch, and 3) the amplifiers input gain.

This does NOT sound like a computer speaker, but rather like a home audio component. It actually has good, solid bass, not the boomy sound normally associated with this sort of speaker. I actually bought Bose as well as Sonos. Returned the Bose. I wish that it had a multiband tone control rather than just bass and treble. I started out with a Sonos 3 AND a Sonos 5. The difference was so stark that I kept the 5 and returned the 3. Now I find myself wondering what a pair of 3's and a Sonos subwoofer would be like! Hmmmm...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this speaker and it's a must have. Anyone that wants a high quality speaker with a cool look on the wall should buy this. I really love how easy the setup was connecting with my Samsung television. The dolby digital sound coming from the speaker is of high quality and rich with detailed audio. I highly recommend this for anyone to have in their home to make their home look more elegant. It gives a good bass of audio as well during action scenes when playing audio from the loud bass and surround sound coming from shooting scene with sword fighting and explosions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a home audio lover and movie fan, I really enjoy the Samsung HW-910D soundbar, especially with its rear speaker kit and Space Fit Sound feature. The rear speakers make my bedroom feel like a movie theater, giving me clear and immersive sound from every direction. The Space Fit Sound feature is great because it adjusts the audio to fit my room perfectly, making everything sound just right. However, the soundbar could be easier to use. Its settings are a bit complicated to navigate using the remote and I would recommend using the Samsung SmartThings app to adjust them. The only setting you can’t adjust from the app appears to be the rear speaker level. Overall, the soundbar makes movies and music sound fantastic at home, especially those that have Dolby Atmos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I listen to music every single day, so having the right speaker is essential to my lifestyle. This speaker is NO JOKE. I've used it for a few days now, hours on end and haven't had the need to turn the volume past the halfway mark, but it's awesome to know it can go well beyond easy listening. There's a treble and bass adjustment, ethernet input, aux input, usb input, and a bluetooth connection that I haven't had any issues with. Spatial audio is something that I really appreciate in headphones that I own, and having that performance in a home speaker here is the cherry on top. The speaker needs to be plugged in to use, but that should be no problem as it is quite heavy, and deserves to be dedicated to a home. I'd highly recommend this speaker to friends, family, and other customers considering their next audio system.

I work from home and I use Skype to audio conference with coworkers, sometimes for full days. I needed speaker phone capability with excellent audio quality that wouldn't start to get annoying after 10 hours. I tried a logitech webcam and other microphones and this is by far the best. Great sound quality, highly recommended. Works great with speaker phone, no echo even with the speaker volume turned way up. This device doesn't include a speaker, you have to plug your own speakers into the headphone jack, but it works great. Instantly recognized by my older winXP laptop as a usb audio device, it was literally plug and play. Very easy even if you don't know anything about computers.

A great passive 3-source input/1-output home audio solution to solve for exactly what I had in mind. Very high quality, USA made ROLLS® device with a small footprint, perfect for my cluttered desktop. Photo shows the SS32 Mini Route 3 (on top of my powered left-side audioengine® speaker) with computer audio and IPad (foreground) sources connected and selectable into the speaker(s). Soon a third source, a turntable [w/ built-in preamps] will be located in place of the printer you see there to the left side of the desk. Awesome. And that goes for B&H too, you know!
