Gang, Just a note to say I've purchased a Mits WS65869 and would like some advice. If anyone has commentary or suggestions, positive or negatative, please add a note. If someone has one and loves it, would like to hear. If you can provide any input of things that will help (or hurt) that...

Frank, Thanks for weighing in. My system was perfect for a month. It was only windy for one day, and the dish is so tightly mounted I could probably swing from it and not move it. Also, there is a giant UHF antenna mounted on my roof. I've even gotten Hi-Def stations from both Cincinnati...

Gang, Thanks in advance for your help. For the past few weeks, my month old Tosh DST 3000 box has been acting up. It started with a little bit of audio weirdness. Now, it won't find ANY satellite stations. It finds local/local hi-def SOME of the time. At first, it just lost track of a...

Ok...Ok....Here's what happened. Al was telling me how squatty the picture looked, so I went into the video settings on my Tosh DST3000 HD-box and accidentaly switched from 1080i to 480something and the picture went black. Completely black. Of course, alcohol may have been a SMALL factor...

Gang, Thanks for all your help. Yes, I "flipped the switch" and modified the menu, and all is well. The difference isn't as dramatic compared to HDTV vs. non-HDTV, but there is a difference. I watched T2 for a while, then put in my new Shrek DVD. It looks like disk 2 on Shrek is the...

Jason, Looks like Dave and I paid about exactly the same for our speakers. The salesman told me that Paradigm is really funny about "discounting" their speakers. But, since I've bought stuff there in the past, he said he knocked a few dollars off, but I can't tell anybody. :laugh: Daves...

Small button on the back? Guess it's time to break out the manual. I got it late last night and was in a big hurry to plug it in and fire it up. Geez.... :b Thanks again. ( I feel stupid ) Now I'm anxious to get home tonight and try it out again.

All, I just purchased a Tosh SD-4700 Progressive Scan DVD player and can't seem to tell a difference from my old non-progressive scan DVD player. Am I stupid? It's hooked to a Tosh TN-50N81 50" HDTV....My new DST-3000 HD Box looks awesome, so I know the TV isn't whacked. I just can't tell...

Luke, These folks that rave about the Paradigms mean what they say. My friend has had a set for about 3 years now, and I just went and bought Monitor 7's mains, CC-370 Center, and Mini-Monitors (for rear surrounds) and I absolutely love them. Of course, the old speakers I had for 13 years...

Well, since I couldn't wait any longer for HDTV (plus The Masters Golf tournament is coming up) I sprang for the Toshiba DST-3000 2 weeks ago. Gang, I STILL can't believe how good my Tosh TN50-X81 looks with the "Hi-Def" image. Also, my TV probably (for sure) needs properly calibrated. But...

Thanks Doug, You're probably right. The animosity will hopefully fade over time. It just disappoints me to see people with the same common interest/hobby get angry over one piece of equipment or another. Everyone in here probably has a system that ranks in the top 2 percent of Home Theater...

Gang, I'm starting to notice a disturbing trend in the Subwoofer/Speaker section of the forum. First of all, I want to thank everyone who posts for their invaluable advice. I've spent a lot of money (for me) over the past few years upgrading to a Tosh TN50X81, and most recently (last...

My 15 year old AM-5's were unplugged last night. The Paradigm Monitor 7's are on the way. I did plug in my Mini-Monitors after the AM-5's were unplugged and was sorta shocked. Could it be that the Mini Monitors sounded better than a full AM-5 system? Yep... But, I've owned the Bose for 15...

Hopefully the Monitor 7's will be in today or tomorrow. Now I'm starting to think of all the DVD's and CD's that I need to try out on the new speakers. Spyro Gyra, Rippingtons, T2 judgement day, Lawnmower Man, and the list goes on and on. But, the FIRST thing that will be played on the new...

Thanks for all the valuable info gang. The Monitor 7's haven't arrived yet, so I went ahead and just hooked up the Mini-Monitors by themselves last night. If the Mini's sound like that, I'm REALLY looking forward to having the whole sha-bang configured. The Monitor 7's with the Velodyne sub...

What kind of things should be done for a proper "break in?" Low volume? High Volume? Or just time in general? Thanks.

All, (warning: wordy post) After 15 years of owning Bose AM-5's, and having my NOSE rubbed in it by my fellow audio/videophile best friend, I stepped up and got the Paradigms. Monitor 7's for my mains, CC370 for my center, and mini-monitors for my rears. That will go with my Tosh TN50X81...
