    Bought new Paradigm Esprits, 1 speaker is much louder than the other.

    After searching some more, I'm going to try to physically swap the speakers tonight. Many other posts think that it may just be the room.

    Bought new Paradigm Esprits, 1 speaker is much louder than the other.

    Is this normal? My old Klipschs (sp?) didn't have this problem. I have the esprits mated to a Denon 2803. To make the channels even, I have the (R) channel (where the quiet speaker is) set to +7db. In my troubleshooting, I swaped channels on the reciever and the original right speaker...

    Toshiba 32AF42 or Sony 32FS100? (Buying today)

    Both TVs are same price, are there any suggestions which one to go with? I'll be using the TV for DVDs and that's about it. Sound features aren't important because I'll be using a Denon 2803. Any good advice? Thanks!

    Need advice TV or Projector?

    You bring up good points. I would like to mount the projector behind the couch on some type of stand. Perhaps what I will do is borrow our best projector from work, and try it. If I like it, I'll go from there. haha, don't know why I didn't think of that before. Again, thanks for the...

    Need advice TV or Projector?

    Here's my situtation. I'm not lookinf for an HD TV because cost isn't worth it right now IMO. So I'm looking for a inexpensive tv, 27"/32" or I'm thinking about going with a projector. Are there any "board favorite" projectors? As always, I'm going to use the search as much I can, but...

    Denon 2803 vs. 3803

    Argh, I'd like to know to. I owned the 2802 and loved it, but I am hoping the 3803 will be a little ouder with the extra wattage.

    Is this a good Paradigm deal?

    I wanted to keep the Focus because the driver would be the same in all the speakers.

    About to buy full system, any last minute thoughts? (Paradigm)

    I think I got it narrowed down. I would like to get: Phantom mains (or Esprit??) CC-270 center (2) Focus rears I am going without a sub for now since I will be in an APT. The only question I have is do you think the phantoms will be too much bass with a sub? If it is, I will be going with...

    Wow, that was an excellent post!! :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: As always, I will continue my search, but it's good to hear others experiences. And your right, there is little talk about this receiver in comparison to others. Search didn't turn up much.

    Marantz 5300 vs Denon 2802

    Good evening, I had my mind set on the Denon, but after visiting a local shop, he promoted the Marantz. (I am assuming because they don't carry the Denon line) Has anyone had complaints/advice about this unit? Thanks in advance.:)

    Anyone else have a 7.0 speaker setup?

    I wouldn't recommend a sub. When I lived in the dorms, I lived in a suite arrangement. I lived with 2 very good friends and 1 deaf guy. The last week of school, we also have absolute silence. Well as it turns out, we got written up and got sent to the dorm manager who told us we aren't allowed...

    Hello everyone, home theater n00b here, but I have always been an enthusiast. :) Anywho, I used to have a Denon AVR-2802 receiver. I since have moved out and now am left with an old Sony Pro-Logic hunk of garbage. Is this receiver worth buy again or should I be looking for something else...
