    How many of you are using a PB2+ in a smallish size room?

    After having mine for 2 years I finally did further testing with the 16hz tune after never even thinking about using it since I had bottomed one 20-39PC+ and upgraded. Didn't think I'd have the headroom and I had good response to 17hz anyway at 20hz. My tastes in output have mellowed a touch and...

    Monster amps.... what do you think?

    Surround speakers usually need nothing more than 120W. 250W would be complete overkill. As far as Monster amps, I've heard nothing about them myself. A nice used 3x100-150W amp can be found for $500 on Audiogon to power a center a surrounds.

    New To HT How does this system sound to you?

    Hi, I had that exact 5.0 setup as far as speakers go. IMO, I think you should of went with an internet brand sub(SVS,Hsu), since most give you more performance for your money. Also, I eventually sold off the 7's for some ADP-370's after I found the 7's too distracting being only 4 ft. from my...

    Confusion on surround speaker distance setting in receiver

    Best thing is to try a couple and listen from the main seating position. Without making too technical of a discussion and seeing your room layout, is there any way to face the speaker right above the listening position to bounce off a nearby wall to delay the arrival from that speaker?

    Speakers or Receiver first?

    Speakers make the most difference. If there are possibly better speakers you want at higher cost, buy the receiver and save for those.

    Boston or Paradigm

    If you can't compare them side by side, but like them both. Look at smaller things like dealer location, cabinet size, construction and color, warranty period, and sensitivity(as in easier to power).

    SVS 20-39PCi vs. PB12�ISD - is the only difference aesthetic?

    As already stated. The cylinder is lighter and easier to move, can be a conversation piece and is tuned a touch lower. I'd get get PCi.

    who uses bigger speakers for surrounds?

    Well I originally had towers for my surrounds(Paradigm Monitor 7's) along with my mains(Paradigm Monitor 11's). I guess I bought the 7's because I thought bigger was better. As I read more in various forums and educated myself, I began to question my logic. Eventually I brung home some...

    $200 set of Bookshelves

    Try audiogon and ebay to find some used mini's, titans or atoms which are all Paradigm. I will stress not to be afraid to get used speakers, you can usually get way better speakers for your money this way.

    Upgradind to studio Paradigm

    70W isn't gonna power those 100's to anything but moderate volumes. You'll notice a sound quality improvement for sure, but they'll suck the life outta that amp. I have Studio 60's on a 150WPC amp and they sound great, most 100 owners say 200WPC is the best bet.
