Audioholics

About this resource

Audioholics is an AV publication with equipment coverage, educational articles and an associated discussion community. Its guide describes shopping guides, manufacturer interviews, reviews and previews alongside the AV University material. That mix gives it a different role from a single-category loudspeaker laboratory: it covers the hardware and the practical questions involved in assembling and using an audio/video system. ^{[1] [2]}

An important editorial distinction is the label “preview.” In its 2012 guide, Audioholics explains that a preview can analyse available product information without the staff having physically handled the equipment. Reviews and previews therefore should not be treated as equivalent evidence of direct testing. The educational section addresses amplifier design, room acoustics and AV theory, but also introductory tasks such as home-theater connections and subwoofer setup. ^[2]

Useful entry points are the equipment-review categories, AV University and the linked forums, where articles can lead into reader discussion. The publication also uses video for reviews and event coverage. The current homepage pairs equipment coverage with practical articles such as its amplifier damping-factor explanation, connecting specifications to output impedance, speaker control and frequency-response questions. ^{[1] [2]}
