I wasn't thinking of actually posting a review since I'm quite new to all this myself but there were some requests so I figure I'll just pop in and share some of my experiences. Here's my setup. Paradigm Studios all around Studio 60s V.1 (fronts CC450 Studio ADPs Servo 15 Studio 20s V.2...

Since I've been looking at adding an amp to my sound system I figure I might consider spending the money on a new tv. Something that I want to do but there's something holding me back. I have an old Pioneer Elite SD-P5193. It's 5 years old now. It was one of the best in its time and it's...

Just wondering if anyone has actually compared the AVM20 with the 49tx and 5803. What I mean is pairing the three units with the same amp/amps.

I currently have a 49tx and am thinking of adding an amp as stated earlier in a previous thread. Since money is always an issue do most of you buy the 5 or 7ch right away (most tempting option IMO) or spend the same type of money on a really good 2ch or 3ch amp? I can of course go for the...

I just went to my local store today where i usually buy my gear and my salesman was trying to entice me to get an Anthem system here are my options. 1) Add a 5channel amp and a 2channel amp (rather than a 7channel amp) 2) Trade in my 49tx for a processor and the two amps listed above...

Hi I was wondering if anyone has had experience with both the Studio CC and the older CC450. The reason I'm asking is that I have V1 Studio 60s and I might be buying another center channel for my other system and I was wondering it would be an upgrade at all to have the newer CC relative to...

I was just wondering how often you guys upgrade your TV sets. I've been wanting a progressive TV for a while but since my nonprogressive TV (Pioneer Elite SDP5193) was a top of the line one and spent a lot of money in years past I'm a bit hesitant to upgrade it like the rest of my components...

What's the going rate for the Studio 20s. What's the best price you've seen or best average price you'll been hearing. If any of my fellow locals can give their input it'll be even better.

I'm starting to think I got ripped off when I purchased my Servo 15. I'm did a search and I read that some guys got it for $1050CDN and $1300CDN w/X30

Hey I just moved things around and now I have a problem with the placement of my rear dipoles. Right now, the edge of my sofa is situated not too far from the minibar. So I can either place the dipole right up to the minibar or right beside my ear. Placing it in the middle is not an option...

I'm really considering moving things around. Here's my situation. I have a rectangular room. About 1/3 the way into the room to the left there is further room as if the room is L shaped. The extra width 1/3 the way is about 1.5m. Currently my equipment is placed inside this enlarged width...

I have an old dvd player that I plan to install up in a small living room tv area. Since I have an old receiver to use too, I'm thinking of adding some speakers even though my family doesn't care too much about it since they mostly just watch tv and recorded tv programs up there. There is also...

Futureshop online sells them. That's the only place I know of. Anywhere else?

I know it supposedly is great for amps and cd transports but how but receivers?

I'm looking for an all-region player but don't want to spend too much money on it. Still want quality of course. Any recommendations as well as places to buy?

I haven't really touched this part of my system. I got digital cable but I hook it up just like regular cable. I currently run a cable from the outlet to a 4 way splitter but I'm not sure if I'm connecting things right or if I should use the splitter. My VCR does not have an S-Video...

Getting into DVD-A which ones do you recommend to start off the DVD Audio experience with?

What is the best place to buy Sony's SACD player? Combo of reliability and price of course. Is Oade Brothers Audio a good reliable place? I have heard prices in the $800s but I'm not sure if they're authorized dealers or not if they aren't is it still wise to order from them? The prices I'm...

I just got my RP91 yesterday and found out that it was manufactured in April. Should I try returning it for a newer version? Or will the firmware update be just as good? Getting a hold of it should not be a problem. As well I'm becoming worried that since I don't have a progressive scan tv...

I just got the the JVC 7800 installed on my mom's system and so far I haven't seen't the improvement that I was expecting except for the sound. Do I need high-end S-Video Cables with this? I was wondering about a few things. Should Digital TBC/NR and Digital R3 always be on? I'm wondering...

I think my sub might fit below my TV screen. Since I have my center speaker on top of my tv, can I put my sub right below it? Or am I better off putting the sub onto the side while still facing me.

It's actually a duel question. I have the Studio 60s and Pioneer Elite 49tx receiver. I was wondering if both of them can accept 9mm spades.

Any recommendations for a piano album? Classical or jazz or both if you could. Thanks.

I still haven't decided on what speaker/interconnect cables I'm going to buy since I've identified three price groups. I'm wondering whether getting an SACD player for regular cd playback would improve my cd playback much more so than buying higher end cables. Price will be similar to what I...

This is quite a newbie question and probably another subjective question but is it more common to keep the grilles on or have the grilles off? I forgot what the function of speaker grilles were. Can anyone please explain the pros and cons of having it on and having it off?

Hi. I'm looking to buy a microsystem for my gf. You know the small stylish ones that look very good. I'm hoping to find one that is best sounding and looks good. JVC has a bunch of microsystems that look pretty good. So does Sony. Any recommendations here? I care about the sound but my gf...

I have Studio 60s V.1 as my mains and I didn't think much about upgrading since my room is not necessarily big but the speaker cables I'm looking at have got me thinking about using the money towards getting Studio 100s instead. Will the 100s be an "upgrade"? I'm thinking I probably won't be...

If one is like 3ft away and one is like 9ft what would you do in terms of buying speaker cables? Would you buy 3/9, 6/9 or 9/9?

How do I know the size of my receiver's speaker binding posts? How would I go about measuring it? Anyone know the size of the 49tx's speaker binding posts?

Since there are quite a few 12g home depot speaker wire recommendations here I thought that it might be interesting to hear some recommendations for those who wants to spend more for better quality speaker cables. So ya what are your mid-end to high-end speaker cable recommendations?
