Tim, I think my problem in the room acoustics. My sub is in the corner on one end of my room and the other side is essentially open as there are three open entryways (The room is 25x12x8H. My system is along one of the long walls and I sit on the opposite side.) I often can't help but localize...
Chu - What sort of evaluations are you thinking of? I need to do it fast because the James goes back in a few days. Given my inexperience, a little guidance would be appreciate. Tim - ACI. I never heard about them until your post. I did some quick research and it does sound interesting. From...
Many thanks to Tom V. at SVS for providing me some "off forum" advise. I think I calibrated both subs correctly and have a very brief opinion. The James subwoofer is quite good and sounds very execellent with Charles Mingus, Coltrane and all my other jazz CD's. Nevertheless, the SVS sounds as...
Has anyone had a chance to demo the James EMB 1000? There have been some positive reviews however I've yet to hear/see any user reviews. I have one now and I'm comparing it to an SVS 25-31 PC+. As a newbie I'm fairly sure I don't have the subs properly calibrated. Nevertheless, the SVS sounds...

As the infamous "they" say,,,a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. So true for this hobby and especially in my case. I recently acquired Paradigm Studio 60's for my fronts, the CC 470 center and the Studio 20's for the rear. My search to upgrade my HK 320 has turned into a holy quest. My...
I just got Paradigm Studio 60's for my fronts, the CC-470 center and Studio 20's for the rear. I need a suggestion for a new receiver or separates. I was thinking Rotel or NAD but I've hear some not so good things about NAD receivers (humming, pops, etc.). I 'm trying to keep the budget around...
Hi all. As a newbie, I've recently acquired Paradigm Studio 60's v.3 for the fronts, the CC-470 center and Studio 20's for my rears. I'm looking to upgrade my old HK 320. I've read interesting discussions on NAD, Rotel and Anthems but I'm not sure which direction to go. At this point my budget...
