    Hello, I have just built adireaudio's Shiva EBS aligment subwoofer with a passive radiator. I'm running it with rythmik 350w amp and the passive is weighted to 252grams. The sub has very good response lower than 40hz. My front tower speakers are okay down to 40hz. I want to build a sealed...

    Subwoofer for dorm? Shiva vs. DPL12

    I would recommend a Shiva EBS alignment. You can get a Shiva driver for @ $120 and run it with a Rythmic 380 watt amp for @ $130. You can get the plans right off of Adire Audio's site under tech. info. See Shiva applications. You can make a port out of pvc pipe. I know this puts you over...

    Will my 100w receiver drive the Paradigm Studio 100 v3?

    Could run them with 50w, but would not sound as good as 100w. I can tell you that 200w even at lower volumes make the speaker shine.

    Looking at a Paradigm setup, any idea if this is a good deal?

    Gabriel, the power you are going to need will depend on how you like to listen to your music/ht. I believe that the more CLEAN power the better. For instance, most of your a/v receivers you see at best buy, circuit city, etc. have power specs. such as 100w x 5 at 8 ohms +/- 3 dbs. The studio...

    Looking at a Paradigm setup, any idea if this is a good deal?

    As long as the speakers are in good shape, it's a good deal. I bought the same setup used on ebay and paid: 100's for $1300 20's with stands for $400 cc new for $400 Price includes shipping. I believe I got a good deal considering everything was in perfect working order. My system kicks...

    Bookshelf Vs. Floorstanding

    I personally like towers. It just feels like you get more for what you pay. Plus you don't have to purchase stands, but sound and space should be your determining factor.

    Sub configuration?

    Thanks for the info. "One caveat: The above recommendation to high pass the 100's is only if you will be using a really high quality sub that can play bass better than the 100's below 60-80 Hz and will also extend the overall FR of the system to well below what the 100's can manage." Could...

    Paradigm Studio 100 Owners!

    I also don't think there is anything wrong with your speakers. I used to run my studio 100's v.2 with an onkyo tx-787 100x6 at 8 ohms. It pushed them pretty loud but not to the volume I like. My onkyo would turn itself off when I pushed it to far (a feature that I like). I now run them with an...
