Craig;481401 Wrote: Aren't Air studios owned by George Martin? Craig Yes, the AIR Studios are associated with George Martin. As for the OP, this is smoke and mirrors and just a means to increase the unit price and make AIR Studios some licensing bucks. Not the same as paying for a Disney or NFL branded AVR, but almost. IMO, spend your money on buying a high current AVR (read stay away from most big name Japanese units). -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70911 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] AIR Studios?
Just wondering if y'all have heard about this place? I was looking at the Pioneer sc-27/25 and they have AIR Studios Monitor Sound Tuning Certification. Is that something I should be interested in when looking at AVRs? Got to this when reading about the Transporter going for $1350 now at some places. Very interesting, but then I figured I still need to upgrade my oldy Denon AVR-4800, which is probably a higher priority. And it would cost about the same as a Transporter... But I do want good audio performance out of my new AVR. That's when I bumped into that Pioneer. Any suggestions for good sounding AVRs are welcomed! jan PS. http://airstudios.com/information.aspx -- jmourik jmourik's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7123 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70911 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] AIR Studios?
I took a look at their website, and frankly it sounds like a bit of fluff to me For example, from Technical - Pioneer: Stereo must sound excellent and multi-channel should be just as good. This requires identical, independent, discrete power amps for each channel. It looks like they're trying to copy the THX certification idea, but I don't see any evidence of the technical, electrical specifications that THX requires products to achieve -- DCtoDaylight Audiophile wish list: Zero Distortion, Infinite Signal to Noise Ratio, and a Bandwidth from DC to Daylight DCtoDaylight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7284 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70911 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles

AIR Studios -- Are they the ones who made Sexy Boy in 9 different remixes, all of which kinda sucked (IMHO)? Honestly, I can't even get their website to work on a new Mac. I wouldn't put too much stock in their certification. Never seen it on anything I've worked with. -- kphinney -I like it, you may not.
