I'm sorry I'm a terrible linguist. No I didn't buy the matching millenia subwoofer. What I'm trying to say is the Millenia subwoofer is the most compact solution for people needing the most bass without taking up volumes of space. Paradigm solves the problem by using an oval shaped woofer. The...

Why not pay a tech to fix the leaking capacitors and enjoy it for another few years? Open up the case and look for buldged or leaking caps. Maybe that's all you need to get it working again. To heck with tossing it out.

Yeah the Paradigm is a 5 speaker package but it does not include a subwoofer. The matching subwoofer is very expensive and would work best for somebody needing the most compact subwoofer. I chose the HSU because of the known price performance ratio. I think the matching millenia sub has a...

Give it a shot. All the software in the world won't tell you how well it will perform in your room.

The JBL subwoofer is pathetic. It's lacking any substance. JBL speakers today are not the same as when they were built like the old Altecs. Clearly you didn't read the ops post. He said the speakers were going to be placed in a ready to order case. That implies in something does it not? Placing...

They are a relatively new product from paradigm. I chose them because I needed a small lifestyle setup. But I did not want to have typical satellite speaker sound. Part of the problem with movies is my speaker placement. I have them sitting on top of a custom built mantel shelf. They aren't ear...

I would choose B&W over JBL. The JBL would offer terrible performance if you wall mounted it or put it in a stand. It makes absolutely no sense to place a floor standing speaker in a case. JBL speakers are not worth your money. There are much better performers for the same kind of money. I would...

I prefer to use the term mini review because I have not done in depth test measurements. I do feel that acoustically these small speaker packages will vary so much room to room. I will first state that these speakers are very much treble and upper midrange oriented. There will need to be a...

No its just one of many speakers on the market. B&O has never offered anything good for the money.

HSU research has the best bang for the buck subwoofers. You don't really need to have a home theater sound system if your just going to watch tv and football. I honestly know from experience that a good 2.1 speaker system is always going outperform a lackluster 5.1 system. If you invest in a...

It's god's way of telling you to get a new speaker system with a real woofer :) There is probably nothing wrong with the woofer module. If you are not hearing distortions or bottoming out it's probably just the woofer. The Bose woofers do not really put out any subsonic bass frequencies and...

I noticed a seller on ebay has a TC sounds subwoofer in the cabinet for buy it now at 300$...That's a pretty stellar deal. I have no connection to the seller. I just thought I'd tell you. Good luck. Hope it works.

There is no such thing as a high end HDMI cable. It either works or it doesn't. There is absolutely no in between. Binary code is nothing more than code. A good cable works, a bad one doesn't it's that simple.

What features do you need? The best receiver is the one with the most features that will actually be used. If you won't use the features of the more expensive unit it might not necessarily be better. I don't think Onkyo is as well made as it used to be.

Mr Bad Advice? I think not. The bose system doesn't have any dynamic range. The midrange is stuffed into a box and the tweeters are not integrated. The sound is awful. A pair of bookshelf speakers like the B&W 601 or 602 from the english made era of B&W would easily outclass any 5 channel...
