What is the best 5 or 7 ch amp in the $2K range. It can be new are used. My setup is: Anthem AVM 20 Revel F30's Revel C30 Revel M20's I just need 5 channels right now, but may want to move the 7channel later. Thanks Paul
Ok, let me go alittle deeper. I have all Revel speakers (F30's front, C30 center, and M20's for surrounds). I would like to add one or two speakers for my rear center channel. I thought the Revel S30's would work back there but I have a hard time paying that much money for speakers that will...
Which one would you pick and why? Pls no posting about SVS or other subs. I am sure they are great subs,but it is really between the Descent and B-15. Thanks
I am shopping for a good sub. I have run across a few post about the HSU subs. Everyone seems to love them, but I was looking into some most expensive sub, like the Revel, Rel, and Velodyne (HGSII). I have spent alot of money on my HT and I don't mind paying for a good tight sub. But if I can...
By all means you should be able to find a MC-1 V.4 for 2K. I paid $2,050 for one new in the box. As for the SACD and DVD-A, checkout the lexicon web page, the MC-8 is out. And Lexicon allows you to trade your older unit in for the new one. I have not heard how much it will cost or how much they...
Guys, thanks for your opinions. The fact is I am into "Gucci" cable. I have started with Best Buy cables and have upgraded to name brand cable hearing the difference along the way. If a person is willing to invest almost 5k is their front three speakers, then spending alittle more than .50 a...
I am trying to keep it below 1K for my front 3 speakers. I am looking at some of the Nordost cable. My Pre/Pro is a Lexicon MC-1 and my Amp is a Conrad-Johnson MF5600. Paul
Fronts: Revel F30's
Surrounds: Revel M20's
Center: Revel C30
Sub: Paradigm Servo15
Plan to upgrade the servo15 to a Revel B15 sub and add another pair of M20's to the rear for 7.1.

I have owned a Rotel 1066, Sunfire TGIII, and now a Lexicon MC-1. I will trade my Lexicon in once the new MC-6 comes out first qtr. The Rotel holds it's own with the Sunfire, but it can not touch the Lexicon. My answer is I would buy a 1066 over the TGIII, but I would pick the Lexicon over the...
I want to run 7.1. I have Revel speakers all the way around. Mains, F30's, center C30, surr speaker M20's. What speakers would blend well for my back center. I can't afford to do Revel speakers in the back. I'm looking for a pair for under $600 that would work well with the rest. Any ideas...
I have the Conrad Johnson MF5600, and I am in the market for a pre/pro. I am thinking about two: Rotel 1066 (new or used) Or Proceed AVP (used) *note it would be the AVP not the AVP2. Home Theater is the most important thing to me. Which one would you buy? Paul
I had the Paradigm Studio CC for about 8 months or so. I liked it but when I was thinking of upgrading my fronts I tried the Revel C-30. It knocked my socks off. The vocals were locked on the screen, not coming from a big box, siting on another big box. I think you should take a listen. Paul
OK I have a question. I am not a dealer, but I have had not one but two auctions pulled off ebay at the request of Paradigm. I did not use any info or pictures from Paradigm's website, and I repeat, I AM NOT A DEALER. Could someone enlighten me on why and more important how a company can stop a...
Bill, Stick to your guns, I agree a sub will sound different in a showroom then it does in your house, but a top named sub is still a top named sub! You have not cut any coners in your setup. I think your chose of a REL would be nice for music, but you would need two in order to get the HT...
I'm buying a pair of Revel F-30's and I was wondering which amp would drive them the better? I have a Sunfire Cinema Grand Signature Series I now. I thinking on buy a Conrad-Johnson 2500 (I need 2 more channels, 7.1). The speakers are a 6 ohm load, and the sunfire does 600 watts in a 6 ohm load...
Darrel,
I have a Sunfire Theater Grand III pre/pro.
My speaker cables are Audio Quest Type 4 bi-wired. My interconnects are all better cables.
My DVD player is the Sony 900V. I have a Monster HTS 3500 line conditioner, and a iScan Pro line doubler.
My room is 22X25.
And yes, I have a...
I have joined the club! I ordered a pair of F30's and a C30 in Rosewood yesterday. I am going to hook them up to my Sunfire amp 600watts driving 6ohms loads!!! Oh what fun!
