TOTALLY agree on the intro and menu giving away key characters and clues before you even watched it. - I also still hate forced trailers. - Not being able to change subtitles on the fly

Congrats C-daddy...... i just got 100's, 570, and 470's. Sound great (even though got a bad crossover or tweeter and exchanging a 100) My sony 444ES doesn''t have a chance with these. I need an amp as well and that's a different topic I guess but let me know what you go with. b

Well I got home and did a bit more research........here's that scoop. I have all v.3 100's, cc-570 & ADP-470's in the back. I got out my RS sound level meter(c, slow) and avia......never used the audio part due to my weak link of speakers, just video. Many, many tones and test on...

Yes Wayne...I physically moved the speakers positions and left the wires there. The tones followed the speakers. The same speaker at the NEW location is producing the same sound. I'm going to try some Avia tones tonight and if I feel brave enough open the tweeter and check the wiring per...

Thanks guys........ I have the speakers angled inward and far enough from the walls. Identical spacing and angles. I have replaced old wires with 12gu Sound King. I have triple checked phasing and proved it wasn't that or position by swaping the speakers and leaving the cables there. Lower...

I just got a pair of brand new paradigm 100's v.3 a few weeks ago. For some odd reason they sound different when running standard white noise test tone on my receiver. One is not as bright and for lack of terms slightly duller or muffled sounding compared to the other. It's like a different...

Bought the outlet tester and..........about 2/3 of the houses outlet are grounded including the media room. Nice! Now I need proper surge protection in the form of the panamax. Which one whould I order? I'm confused as too "What I need" for my non-lighting area. I bought some velcro...

Thanks for the advice Thomas. I'm only renting this place for another year and don't really want to spend Multi-hundreds on this.

I'm kinda embarrassed I don't know more but I'm just starting out learning home fix-its. But I'd rather be honest. I'm renting a very old (1908) home in downtown Seattle here. I have $7,000 worth of HT equipment and my recent purchase of Paradigm references and soon to be amp pushed me over...

Brian.....After reading your wife's reactions, wanna swap? It seems to be the thing with these reality shows and all. My name is also Brian so no problems there either. Think about it.:D Congrats.

I just picked up a set of 100's, cc-570 & ADP-470's. It was between the Rosenut and the black Ash. My dealer only had the sycamore in the studio's but had the monitor line in ash.......and I thought they looked like total s*#t. I went ahead anyway and choose the black and when I received them I...

I'm looking at a getting a full Paradigm v3 studio setup and have to decide by today or tommorow for a certain discount. I'm going with the 100's for my mains. From everything I read (local shop only had cc-470) I should match the 570 with the 100's. It is however 45 lbs and 11 more than the...

Thanks Rob! So the $20 DTS is the same transfer and audio as the special edition just missing the extras?

I searched around but can't find the details of what this is coming up for only $15. Should I wait?.....which version do you recomend if the extras aren't my biggest priority on this one? DTS and japanese soundtrack would be nice though. thanks...b
