    Insignia 6.5" *coaxial* bookshelf.......50 bucks a pair

    I picked up a pair when I was down in the US of A. Must say for $45 tax included, they are a great speaker. Worth the effort of lugging them back to Canada. I had read the reviews over at AA and the racket about them. Must say the build quality is much better than anything I have seen for...

    Denon 1505 Help with setup Centre Channel Sound

    I will try raising the X-over, nope the centre is not enclosed and is angled down. If I increase the centre volume, it impacts too much on loud sounds from movie tracks. That is why I was wondering about the x-over or something else I was missing. I don't listen a high volume, and like I...

    Denon 1505 - No reviews

    I was wondering if anyone has the Denon 1505. I cannot find any reviews on it. I know it is new, but I figured there would be some type of reviews on it. http://denon.ca/html/product_display.asp?id=208

    Audio Ideas Imagers??

    Sorry, should have stated that. I used them on Paradigm Studio 60 V.2 Like I said I did not see any change, but then again someone else might. For the cost give them a shot. I should really try and do some comparison on them and see if there is a change. I guess I must be the only one to...

    Audio Ideas Imagers??

    Ok. I will have to admit that I purchased a pair. Can't honestly say I noticed any difference. Someone else might have a different opinion.

    Home Depot outdoor extention cord...

    I happen to purchase some Cdn Tire extension cord last weekend and replaced the wire to my surrounds. Can't say I found any difference in sound. Looks better than the old wire I had on before. But for sound wise well too much of pain to swap it back and forth to test. Bob

    Ok, so what's wrong with my DVD player?

    I have a Sony DVP NS-300 which has the dreaded C:13:00 error. I have had the player 14months and now on almost every DVD it will freeze lock up or come up with dirty disk or C:13 error. I did a search and found out this is common problem with a lot of Sony players put out a few years ago. I...

    Rp-82?

    I tried ordering the 82 from Sears Canada. They said they are out and cannot say when or if they are going to have them in again. I phoned a few other stores no luck. I ran across an item that said they are be discontinued - replaced by a different model. I then emailed Panasonic asking if...

    Paradigm Studio 40's or 60's

    Well I went with the 60's. I had the 40's on order , but after extended listening I liked the 60's sound better. This is just my preference. I had no sub so I liked the little bit of extra base sound. I now have a sub, but still prefer the 60's set to large for music, and no sub. (Might just be...

    Mixing Studio 20s with ADP 170s

    John I will jump in and give my experience. I had a pair of Mini's which I used as surrounds when I up graded the fronts to Studio 60's. I found them great. I am planning on upgrading to Studio 20's at some late date , but it is not a priority. ( I need new Receiver and DVD player before...

    New Feet For Paradigm Studio Speakers

    Mike I thought they looked great. Great job on the design and the finished product. I have the Studio 60's but no cat or children problem. I can see where it would be of great benefit to anyone having fears of tip over etc. One question did you notice any change in the sound. Bob

    Paradigm Mini Monitors for surrounds

    I have Studio 60's for front and moved my mini monitors to the back. I find them excellent. Now I am sure that Studio 20's would be better , but how much better I cannot determind. I have a lot of other things to purchase before I even think of upgrading the surrounds. Bob

    Paradigm price fixing

    Quote "and limiting distribution to help dealers (Paradigm DOES do) is communism" Damm and I thought the " Hammer and Sickle Stamp on my Studio 60's" was the new Paradigm Reference symbol . Thanks for the heads up on that Susana.

    Stusio 20's vs. Mini Monitors as Surrounds

    I have Studio 60's up front and Mini Monitors in the rear and find them excellent. No doubt the 20's might be better but I cannot complain about the sound. To me the Mini's are a great sounding speaker, even when I had them as my front. Bob

    Subwoofer Cable Does it matter....

    It is in the basement and impossible to run under floors, and walls would be difficult. I have to run around a couple of corners and along baseboard and it looks like about 14 ninety degree bends if I go that way. I will have to see if I can come up with something creative. Thanks for the reply.

    Subwoofer Cable Does it matter....

    I have a 25ft AR sub cable that in order to get it out of the walking area I will have to string along the base boards and around a couple of corners. I will have to bend the cable around a few corners . Do you think this will impact on the sound in any way. Thanks Bob

    Paradigm Studio 100s: What's a good price?

    Hi Steve I remember listening to a few brands at West End, (B&W, and I think PSB and Boston). I liked most of them , but I ended up getting Studio 60's from Kelly's. I am sure I would have been happy with any of them. Bob

    Paradigm Studio 100s: What's a good price?

    Scott The price was the sale price. They had on the sale at Holiday Inn a couple of weeks ago. "Ball Room Blitz's Sale" or something like that. I am sure they would have dropped another little bit, not sure how much though. I found David to be good as well. He seems honest enough. Bob

    Paradigm Studio 100s: What's a good price?

    I was talking to a Pardigm Rep in St. John's a couple of weeks ago. He mentioned the Ver. 3 coming out this spring , so your time frame from the dealer looks correct. He never got into too much detail about the Ver 3. The price for the Studio 100's you quoted are excellent. They were...

    Paradigm Studio 100s: What's a good price?

    The CEDIA Expo 2002 had a showing of the new Paradigm speakers. Paradigm's Signature 200 (approximately $7500 per pair) Here is a link ... not sure if it will work or not as I have not tried posting a link on the forum before. http://shows.soundstagelive.com/show...howstop2.shtml

    Paradigm Signature line? Signature 200?

    I was talking to a Paradigm Rep. on Friday Oct 11 who mentioned Spring 2003 as when he figured the roll out of the new Ver 3 for the Studio Series. He never got specific about any of the changes to the line.

    Is this correct ?

    Ok first of all I am in the market for a larger TV. I was looking at RPTV and started to read this form. I will say I watch TV a fair amount. Am I correct in what I have read that in the RPTV that if I wanted something to give me the 16:9 aspect ratio that I will risk burn in for the 4:3 mode...

    Should I get Studio 40's or 60's?? Differences

    I just went through the same process. I live 200 miles from the dealer so I could not audition the speakers at home, so I spend a couple of hours listening in the showroom with music I knew quite well. Both the 40's and 60's are great speakers and I am sure you would be happy with both. I...

    Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session

    John Sad to say I only have that one CJ's cd. I have been listening to a much more sedate form of music just recently and I am enjoying it. I would offer up another Canadian band that I have been listening to just recently and I must say they have a great sound " Blue Rodeo" they have a...

    Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session

    Andrew I would have to defer to your electronics as my cd player (Sony)is quite old. This is part of the reason I was questioning the base sound on the recording as I cannot even play some cd's on the player any more and I was wondering if my poor cd player had finally died. Also I am using a...
