    Paradigm Studio Series question

    I've got the premier stands with my 40's very nice stands, very heavy and solid even without filling them. I had 60's for awhile but didn't like the tweeter position being below my ear level. I was considering trying to elevate the 60's but liked the sound of the 40's better. I paid $750 for the...

    Studio 20 vs Monitor 7

    I went with (2) 40's, (4) 20's, CC, and the very "musical" and theater worthy ACI Titan II LE sub. I was concerned about matching all around but when you factor in that one speaker is on top of the TV, 2 on the sides all somewhat reflecting off the TV screen, and any floor standing rears have to...

    Small Subwoofer recommendations

    I have to add my 2 cents. I was looking long and hard for a "small" subwoofer to add some bass to my Paradigm Studio 40 fronts. I was looking for a sub which was also tight and musical and performed well with home theater applications. In addition it had to look nice in the room. After looking...

    Paradigm 40 v 60's

    I know the decision looks to be made but I just wanted to add my opinion anyway. I have the 40's as mains. I chose them over the 60's because I thought the midrange sounded clearer, I like the look of them on stands, and I like to be able to move my speakers around at times to improve...

    DTS Neo 6 vs. Dolby Pro Logic II (CONSOLIDATED THREAD)

    I'd always given the edge to Neo 6 for music, for TV I thought I liked DPL2 at first but find myself using Neo 6 more.

    ACI Titan II LE and General Sub Questions

    Ok...I don't post often but feel I need to in this case. I have Paradigm Studio 40's, 20's and CC. The 40's are on the Premier stands. After endless searching I went with the ACI Titan II LE for my 80-90% music application. My advise, quit looking, buy the ACI and get into enjoying your music /...

    140 or 220 WPC...last question I promise!

    I can't help but ask the same question but with different paradigm studio speakers. I currently have Paradigm reference studio 40's as fronts, 20's as rears, and the CC. I'm running them small crossed over at 80Hz to an ACI Titan II LE sub. My Denon 3801 isn't exactly pleasing me for music...

    I understand the Parasound 2205AT is being discontinued in favor of new and better this spring. The 1205A and 1500A have already been discontinued from what I have been told. So I suspect alot of people will be considering upgrading. Ed

    3 channel amps (Parasound/Anthem/or Acurus)

    I've seen people looking for amps from Avalon Audio / Video before. I live about 1 hour from them but have never been there. Why do people seem to favor Avalon Audio / Video? Is it their pricing? Thanks! Ed
