    VR3 vs Paradigm Studio 60

    You definately need to listen for yourself. I, and many other that I have read about, find the VR series better than the VRM series. I also prefer the VR2 and VR3 over the Paradigm Studio 40 and 60 hands down. I dont find the tweeter warm at all, I find it much more accurate that the Paradigm...

    Monitor Audio Silver

    Greg thanks for the reply. I was thinking the same thing and going with the S2. I was just reading over at another forum, and they were talking about how the Monitor Audio products are crap. They were saying they were great years ago, but now are not. That got me pretty concerned

    Monitor Audio Silver

    Hey everyone I have pretty much narrowed my choice for a new 5.1 down to the Monitor Audio silver series. My question is does anyone know of the difference between the new RS series and the older S series. I can pretty much get the older larger S2 for the same price as the RS1. Thanks for...

    ACI/ Tyler acoustics, etc....

    It seems as though the same speakers are brought up here most of the time. I was wondering about some other brands we dont here too much about, but look like nice speakers. Does anyone have any experience with ACI, Tyler and any other brands that are not frequently brought up here? How do...

    Monitor Audio S2, Axiom M3, Paradigm Mini Monitor or Studio 20

    Very interesting thread, I was very interested in the Monitor speakers a while back when I was looking for a new system. I found a local store that carried the MA Bronze, so I lugged my Axiom M22's down on a saturday. Lucky for me, there was another customer there who had brought his Paradigm...

    2 subwoofers

    I am currently using an HSU STF2. I also have an older sub lying around, and was wondering if I can use two sub's together, especially if one of them is a lesser quality and doesnt go as deep as the HSU? Is it possible to get better performance from 2 subs, even if they are different? And how...

    Chris, I may not be the best to describe what you are looking for. But Ill give you this, The disc change speed I find to be average. Yes I would love it to be faster, but I also havent found a five disc player yet that was extremely fast. The layer change is fine. I have no problem with it...

    Continuous CD play in DVD changer

    Roger I just picked up the Yamaha C750 and it plays CD's through all five discs. If you mix the type of disc, say SACD, DVD Audio, CD- It wont play through. But if you keep say all CD's, it will continue through. It also does random shuffle the same way

    Yamaha dvd 750

    I picked up the C750 last weekend. I havent had too much time with it but so far it is a really nice unit, especially for the money. I did own the panasonic f87, but the video quality wasnt what I was looking for. The yamaha is a much better unit IMO, and you really get a lot for your money

    5 disc players

    Well I just picked up the panasonic f87 last night at CompUSA for $92, a manager's special. It was so cheap I figured I should take a gamble on it and see how it is.

    5 disc players

    I am looking for a 5 disc player, and I'm looking on the very cheap side. I have looked at the panasonic f87 and the sony dvpnc875. I just got confirmation from Sony the the DVPNC875 does NOT have multi disc shuffle, which to me, kind of defeats the purpose of a 5 disc player. Has anyone heard...
