If your looking to put it inside your entertainment cabinet, I would look into a sub with front firing woofer and port.

I've had pretty good luck with my Onkyo TX-SR502. It should fit in that system just fine. You can get it new for $250 or refurbed for $150. I would use the savings to get M3's and the VP100. I wouldn't take the change with an unshielded center channel on a direct view. Better performance and...

DTS is usually under Audio Setup or Language Selection.

I think the Swans would sound best in a tiled room.

Make sure your Paradigm dealer gives you an risk-free in home trial period. Paradigms can come accross very bright, and may not mix well with a tiled room. Good luck!

Definately take a look at the Pioneer 1014tx. IMO better perfoamance than the Denon and can be had for $400-450. Its got similar amp ratings and includes an auto calibration feature.

A second sub in a different location can help even out the response throughout the room. That is only if you can get them to cooperate together and still get them to cooperate with your mains. Most importantly, do they have phase adjustments? Are they reverse phase switches, or continuously...

Most recievers only have one sub output. That is where you would plug in your Y-adapter. Then you can run the two sub cables to each sub. Using both line inputs really only adds voltage to the input signal; the same as increasing the sub out level in the receiver. There is no gain in sub...

With the pink noise from avai, the sub calibration comes out 2-3db hot. With your sub at 90db, you are running about 7-8db hot. If you want it to run flat with your mains, you need to set it up to read about 82db. Most people like to run their subs a little hot, especially if you don't listen at...

$15-20K!!! Well, you've got a lot of options. If you want to spend it all, go for a Wilson Audio setup. If you're looking for something a little more reasonably priced, try the Onix Reference. Both of these setups would run much better off quality seperates, but the Denon would work.

What ohm are the speakers? Most likely you won't be able to bridge them, but you may be able to run them safely in parallel. Is your receiver setup for 7.1? If your reciever is only 6.1 you probably won't gain much by adding a second rear speaker. There is no decoding provided to the 7th...

I've had to drill a few holes in speakers before. The one concern that comes to mind, is the crossover. Some manufacturers mount the crossover to the back wall of the speaker(luckily I've never hit one). You don't want to drill through those.:frowning:

Definitely corner load it near your seating position as Tom has suggested and make sure to calibrate it with an SPL meter. The meter will help at least get the correct output level. The "boomy" bass is usually due to an undesirable frequency response(not flat). This can either be room induced...

I think its a little premature to come up with a conclusion about either company's customer service. Why don't you send an email to both companies with your specific questions. Then you can come back with informed statements. I think you will be impressed by both companies.
