    Will this system fit in a dorm room?

    I know you already got quite a few good replies, but I figured I would chime in considering I've actually done what you're planning. I have a set of 5 nOrh 4.0s in a small dorm room. This is the fourth year I've been in this room, but for the first three I just had an Energy Take 5 and a Sunfire...

    Added some delay to my tactile transducers signal

    I haven't tried this, but I _have_ thought about it before. I always figured the expense of buying a delay wouldn't justify itself given the fact that I only spent about $80 total on my 4 aura bass shakers in the first place. That and my couch is ony about 5' away from my SVS. How much did...

    Imported a Gamecube - Thoughts and Opinions After One Week of Play

    Yes, once again, I am the friend Jeff referred to in his post, seems like that happens a lot, although I don't know if anyone notices. Anyway, I love my Gamecube. I purchased Waverace and Super Monkey Ball. Both these games are very impressive. The biggest things being the graphics on Waverace...

    Paradigm vs nOrh

    I own the nOrh 4.0 video set your thinking about buying, and I'm very happy with it. I auditioned Paradigm before buying the nOrhs, but only the bookshelf models, mostly the mini-monitor. I think the nOrh 4.0s beat the mini-monitor easy, but I'm not sure they could take on the Monitor 7s quite...

    nOrh 4.0 to wall placement?

    I am in a very simliar situation, though I already have my nOrh 4.0s. I am in a dorm room and am forced to put my speakers on the long wall also. Before I moved back into the dorms I had the nOrhs setup in a larger room with plenty of space behind the speakers. They sounded great, of course, I...

    Adjusting signal to sub and shakers....

    I'm actually surprised you're having this problem. I also have a 20-39PC. I have four aura 25watt shakers on my couch driven by an old Marantz receiver that I THINK is only 50watts per channel. They are in series at 8ohms. I have the sub signal split from an Outlaw 1050. In order to get the...

    Some of your nOrh comparisons....

    I replaced my Energy Take 5 set with 5 nOrh 4.0s. They easily beat the Energies, and I think you could be really happy with them, as long as you have a good sub. Depending on your budget though, you might want to look at the new SM6.9s (synthetic marble). They are getting rave reviews from all...

    Anyone in the Minneapolis area with Norh speakers?

    Tom, I never got a reply, so I guess there aren't many nOrh owners in MN yet. I actually went ahead and bought them anyway and I couldn't be happier that I did. I love them. I would have been happy to give you a demo but I've gone back to school in Morris now, which is kinda far away. I CAN...

    show pics of your Norh set-ups

    John, I absolutely love it. I never got the nOrhs totally broken while they were still in the office, but they sounded completely awesome. The SVS also seems to love that space, even though that room is connected to a much larger area, the bass is amazing. I plan to do a full review of my...

    Music vs. Movies - Are we Hypocritical?

    Well obviously there are some people who like DSP modes, but I have seen distinct lack of them on this forum over the years. Normally, if I see DSP modes even mentioned it's from someone asking why anyone would use these. I don't use them because they don't sound good, but also because what you...

    show pics of your Norh set-ups

    I took some pictures of my nOrh setup as it was this summer, but I had yet to actually put them up anywhere. So I made a page just because of this thread. I'm actually moved into my dorm room now, but I haven't been able to borrow a digital camera to take pictures of that yet. I had to hang the...

    Giant 50hz spike with SVS. Suggestions without buying an EQ?

    I just moved back into my dorm room and have run into some HT problems. Over the summer I pretty much replaced my entire audio system. I went from using Energy Take 5s and a Sunfire Truesub, to 5 nOrh 4.0s and an SVS 2039PC. I also added an Outlaw 1050. Problem: The sub sounded GREAT at home...

    Has anyone heard of Snell Speakers?

    I told my friends dad who owns the Snell system that he should get on the forum, I don't know if he will or not, but I think he could benefit from it. And I think I was wrong about the model of Snell speakers he has. I have looked at the pics again and they don't look like the E.5mk2s, not to...

    Further Thoughts On Tactile Transducers, The Buttkicker(s), Discrete Tactile Channel

    Chris, You say you don't use the crossover in the EX-1200 and just feed it everthing below 60hz? I would think you would want to use the crossover to get rid of some of that higher stuff in the 40-60hz range. I have a set of four aura bass shakers, which are nothing compared to the butt...

    Has anyone heard of Snell Speakers?

    A close friend of mine's dad owns a great home theater system that includes a pair of Snell E.5mk2 towers. These are powered by a Sunfire Cinema grand amp. It is easily the best system I have heard, although I'll grant, it is the only audiophile level system I have heard. He also has a kick ass...

    Outboard DAC w/ no bypass?

    I need a quick clarification on the use of an Outboard DAC like the MSB Link III. I recently upgraded to an Outlaw 1050 receiver along with an SVS 20-39PC and a set of Norh 4.0 Ceramic speakers(which haven't actually arrived yet). I am still using my Apex600a for a dvd player and cd transport...

    nOrh and SVS in the HOUSE!

    Hey John. I have a set of ceramic 4.0's on order. I'm suprised to hear how fast you got your speakers, I guess the wait on the wood versions is quite a bit less. I was wondering if you got any notice when they shipped, and if you were provided with a tracking number. My Outlaw receiver...

    Anyone in the Minneapolis area with Norh speakers?

    I have big plans for replacing my entire audio system this summer and I am having trouble deciding on speakers. It is pretty much down to Paradigm vs. Norh. I have heard the Paradigm mini-monitors and was very impressed, I'm sure I would be happy with them. However, I am convinced the Norh 4.0s...
