Thats really funny, as a temporary fix I wrapped them in black electrical tape too! Murdock

I know you can just pop them off, but that leaves the sides of the case open. Anyone find a good solution? Right now, I have 3 things I'm thinking about: 1. Cut them off with the jig saw 2. Get some alumnium stock at the hardware store, and make replacements 3. Get a small 3 place Rack...

OK, I just found out I can get the Denon 3803 for a steal ($575) vs. the $1400 for the 4802. So, I'm thinking I'll get the 3803 and add some outlaw Mono Blocks to make up for the power difference. They will be powering Def Techs: Front: BP10's Center: CLR2000 A Surrounds: BPVX (Movies)...

Well, I'm getting a Denon 3803 or 4802, so I'll have A and B setups. I think I'm getting bi-poles for the surrounds (A) and rears, and then a set of direct radiating for the other surrounds (B) This will allow me to do 7.1 movies with the bi-poles all around, and then DVD Audio in 5.1 with...

FYI on the extension cord thing, I had to get a longer cord when I got my SVS. Being well aware of the draw it might make I shopped around. I found that a good Vacuum cleaner ext. cord tends to be the best. They aren't bright orange, and can carry a lot of current. Murdock

FYI You all are totaly missing one of the best new technologies. Organic LED. Promises to be brighter then RPTV, Flatter than LCD, and Cheaper than Tubes. Its a few years off, but very promising: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1103-936001.html Murdock

OK, if I'm doing a 7.1 setup for Movies, what type of speaker to I want for the side surrounds? Most things I've seen says bipole or dipole for the surrounds, and direct radiating for the rears. Somethings I read say that dipole or bipole's for the rears are better. So, its a personal choice...

Hmm, thats a good point, and yet another reason to step down to the BP10's. Thanks for input, more comments/suggestions are always appreciated. Murdock

Well, not that money isn't a concern, its just that budget goes a lot further now that I can get employee discount thru work :) Therefore, I'm shooting for the best sounding/matching Def-Tech setup I can do within a certain price, which currently includes the 450, etc. Thanks. Murdock

OK, so updated list: Fronts: BP30s or BP10s Center: CLR2000 Surrounds: BPVX Rears: Studio Monitor 450 That gives me the 6.5" drives all around. Would there be a better rear selection? I'm trying to kinda stick with the dolby recommendations for movies on speaker types. Murdock

OK, I shot an email of to Chet :) Aren't the 10's and the 30's the same driver, just the 30's have 4 of them, right? I figured with the SVS in there, I could get by without that extra 2Hz extension the 30's have over the 10's ;) Yea, I had a SVS PC-Plus 20-39 before, so I know they can...

OK, I'm getting either a Denon 3803 or 4802 Receiver. I'm also getting a SVS PB2-Plus So, now I need the other 7 speakers. To me, the Def-Tech website sucks, so I'm having problems finding the info I need. Check my list, and see if it all sounds right: Fronts: BP30s Center: Pro Center 2...

I'm working at Ultimate Electronics (Soundtrack) now in the coporate offices. Employee discounts and such :)

I'm comparing the 3803 and the 4802 because I can now get the 4802 for about the same price I was going to pay for the 3803. I noticed that it lists the bandwidth for the component as only being 50MHz instead of the 100Mhz on the 3803, is this going to cause problems later on? Right now I only...

No one around here carries both. Paradigms are only available at one store within about 200 miles. On another note, I do watch mostly Movies, but want them to be music Capable as well. I'll be mating them up with a SVS PB2-Plus so, I'll be getting the Def Techs with the unpowered subs if I do...
