    Best Sub for the Money

    I recently purchased a Paradigm speaker system for my mother (front, center, rear). I am now looking for the sub. Her room is very big (20x30x20). I was looking at the Paradigm PW-2200, but it sure is expensive at $670. Is there a better/equivalent sub out there for a little less money for her...

    Ebay Paradigm Lesson + Gloat

    I have been watching E-bay lately for a performance set of Paradigm speakers for my mother. It has amazed me what people will pay (near retail) for a used set of speakers at E-bay. I went to the local AV store today and they were having an inventory clearance sale. 4 Titans @ $135 per set...

    Paradigm Center channel Speakers

    How significant is the difference between the Paradigm cc-170 and the cc-370? Is it worth the extra money for this very important channel speaker, or is the cc-170 just fine?

    Equalizer Question

    I have a high end Technics receiver powering a 5.1 system with older Advent speakers. The sound of the system isn't bad, but I would like a little more tonal control for music. What are the pros and cons of equalizers? I know not to use them during home theater modes, but I also have an...

    Need to help Mom .......

    Yea, I know that they are good - but I find it hard to believe that I will be able to put together a 6 speaker 5.1 system from Diva for around $1,000. I think that they are too good for her wallet. I can do this with a low end Paradigm system, but I am concerned about the low end systems...

    My parents retirement home burnt to the ground following a lightning strike (what an ordeal) and they are now in the late stages of rebuilding. My mother loves music and wants my help in designing a new complete system for her home. To that end, I need some help on speakers. Here are some of...
