I say Firefly had the best intro. At first, I hated it. But after being trapped by a blizzard I watched all (but two) episodes in a single day, I grew to love it (and the show!)
Page 82 of the new Sound & Vision has a pic of the new Legend. They look different. . . . well, I can't be sure of that since the old ones couldn't take the grills off. . .
But at least that's a difference. . . .
First let me say that this is totally subjective. One speaker sounds good to people, one sounds horrible. But I loved the Paradigm's. I also listen to 80% music, (mostly jazz and classical, but some Beastie Boys (Paul's Boutique) and Jane's Addiction in the mix (Jane's. . . . I'm old...
From Radio Shack site on their dual-banana conenctor 278-308 "Standard 3/4" spacing. For 12-10 gauge wire, Megacable®. Great fit for speakers with dual banana jacks."
Is this a standard?
I got one of these to test for my Outlaw 1050. Works fine. But I cannot connect to the Denon AVR-1602...
Second (third, fourth?) that on the 20's. I turned my chair around and put my 20's (normally used as rears) for front music listening as a test. Amazing the sound that comes outta there. You'll love it.
The tweeter in the Reference line is amazing (try Mozart's Requiem, you'll notice...
Just be warned that the wattage seems so very relative in AV receivers.
I have Paradigm Reference Studio's all around (80's, 20's and the CC) and no sub. I think this is a relatively big system (no tiny satellite speakers) and my Outlaw 1050 (mid-fi definitely, no hi-fi here) and it's measly...
Not exactly right, though we are paying more (conversion rates included) for the products in the US than in Canada.
That's why I'm going to Canada next weekend (for my second trip in a month!) to pick up a new load of speakers for parents' xmas present!:D
Here are some examples of list...
This should work. I've read (while trying to find some antenna that would let me pickup stations on my Outlaw 1050 (the one gripe I have with it)) and someone said that FM radio frequencies were between channels 6 & 7 (VHF).
While not optimized for th ~80MHz-108MHz, it should work.
Getting a HT system for the 'rents. Looking at Paradigm Speakers all around: Monitor 7's, Micro's, CC-370 and PDR-12.
Looking at deals on receivers, can get a couple cheap. NOTE: DPLII is not important for me. I can get the Denon 1601(60wpc)/1801(70wpc) for $235/$300 respectively from...
Don't think you got your price question answered, here is what I got (thinking of the same thing for my parents' Christmas present.) All prices are $CAN before any GST, Provincial taxes
Titans: $280/pr
Atoms: $240/pr
CC-170: $250/each
PDR-10: $470/each
Total: $1,240 (about...
We may have the same cable company, as I live in NE Ohio, as well: Adelphia. I can tell you a little about them.
I can tell you the picture quality will in fact be better, but on digital channels only.
What are digital channels? I think those 100 and above. I'm actually not sure if...
I agree with Tom.
But after that try setting your other speakers to Large, as well.
I got two Studio 80's, CC and 20's for the rear (and also no sub 'cause I'm in a condo). No, none of the speakers mentioned can go down to 20Hz. But they could possibly go below whatever your crossover...
I just got the Studio 80's for my fronts with the CC for the center and 20's in the rear. I am totally impressed
I know that on-paper it seems like they would be mis-matched bacause of the driver sizes, but they're still all speakers made by Paradigm. I think they sound awesome for...
Sears for the Silver JVC, I was surprised myself trying to figure out JVC's numbering. Gets even more confusing when you change to 7 disc-changer and even more so when you add DVD-A!!!
I don't understand this either. . . . but there's yet another JVC S60 out there:
I went into Sears and I saw yet another XV-S60BK. . . I think it was the XV-S62SL in Silver. I actually sorta liked the color (it would go with my Phase Linear) but Sears is the only one who I know who carries it...
Is there any place other than Amazon.de to get Region 2 DVD's shipped to the US? I'm interested in German language DVD's and was thinking of the Malata DVD player since it has PAL-->NTSC conversion built-in and is a cheap second player.
However, the last time I ordered something from...
I auditioned B&W's for mostly music listening (classical & jazz.) I can tell you there imagery is absolutely stunning. IMHO, nothing like it in this price range. Especially with the one notch above the DM 603's, the CM4's.
The only problem I had was that their bass wasn't quite there for...
I just bought "Monthy Python Live!" from Best Buy on a whim. I love Monty Python and was in the mood for some light comedy. . .
Before I opened it, I went to Amazon.com (and lots of other sights: bits, talk, etc.) to check out any reviews.
Amazon (and dvdtalk) claimed a release date of...
I live in a condo and won't be playing the sound as loud as msot of you (or I would like!) However, I wanted to make sure the Outlaw 1050 I just got was enough for condo listening.
So, I went to a local Paradigm Refernce dealer today and they (very graciously) let me take in my Outlaw 1050...
Really? I'm new to this, but I was told by a Paradigm dealer I can get back both my Ontario Tax and GST charges when I bring the stuff back to the US.
Even said he had all the forms to fill out so I'd get back my money, probably in a three weeks or so. Said I would get GST back at the...
After having it in my car, I very much like the Radio Data System (RDS) that is on my car stereo. This system shows two bits of information
* Station Name/Call Leters
* PTY (Programming Type): Lite Rock, Jazz, Public Radio, etc.
I forget which one, but I noticed some high-end Pre-pro...
This is all very strange, I lived in England about three years ago for a year, and my friend had a 16:9 TV. I couldn't understand why he'd want something like that. All the aspect ratios were off, and things just looked plain goofy. Noone was broadcasting in 16:9.
Well, I went back and...
I needed to get some advice on speakers and receivers. I want to trust my ear, and take my own advice. However, I've been auditioning speakers, but they haven't been ideal conditions (at different stores for B&W and Paradigm) in the middle of a showroom, played really loudly, with a really...
