    Ordering Paradigms?

    Joe, I've had my Studio 100s (v2) for just about 2 years now. They are powered by my Yamaha RX-V3200 receiver. I am very happy with them. Just don't expect much bass response out of them when you first get them. Mine took a few months to break-in. The other day, just for fun, I turned off my...

    Receiver Recommendations with Paradigm Monitor 7

    Eddy, The YPAO sounds cool. My receiver is 2 generations old and does not have that feature. I tweaked mine manually with an SPL meter and it was really easy to do.

    Is my Reciever Good Enough?

    Daman, As Ted said very well, you are not alone in questioning your purchase. I have a Yamaha RX-V3200 and have been looking closely at the new RX-V2400. But then I said to myself "why do I need to upgrade?" I am very happy with my Yammie and until there is some major change (new surround...

    Receiver Recommendations with Paradigm Monitor 7

    Eddy, I have a Paradigm/Yamaha setup. Specifically: Paradigm Studio 100s Studio CC PW2200 sub ADP Studio surrounds with Yamaha RX-V3200 Absolutely love the setup. I can literally shake pictures off the walls if I choose to do so! One thing I noticed is that the Studio 100s...

    Yamahas and 'musicality'

    I too am using an RX-V3200 receiver. This unit is very well built (and heavy). For speakers, I am using Paradigm Studio 100s. In normal 2 channel stereo, the sound is very good, but I have always read how great my speakers are in the bass category. I found that there wasn't enough bass for my...

    Yamaha RVs (old) vs Yamaha RVs (new)

    Jeff, I was in my local Yamaha dealer a couple of weekends ago and they had the RX-V2200 and RX-V2300 side by side (not hooked up). I peered into the top grill to see inside and the internal design has changed somewhat. The most obvious change was the heat sink. The 2200 has a large aluminum...

    Possible inexpensive solution to keep AV equipment/components COOL

    Reginald, Where did you mount your fan exactly? Did you mount it at the bottom blowing up or top down? My cabinet has solid non-vented shelves. Great idea!

    Yamaha 3200 and Paradigm Studio 100

    I just noticed that Yamaha's own line of speakers are 6 ohm. So I would think that their receivers are then capable of driving 6 and maybe 4 ohms OK. I guess I am just getting caught up in some of the professional reviews I have read regarding the Studio 100s. Some articles (like Stereophile)...

    Yamaha 3200 and Paradigm Studio 100

    Thanks for your replies everyone... Martin, I can see your point about bass boost and flat response. Again tonight, I turned off my sub and just listened to the 100s on their own. When I cranked up my receiver to about -25 on the volume scale, I was getting about 89 dB on my SPL meter. I...

    Yamaha 3200 and Paradigm Studio 100

    Wow, maybe I should go and listen to such a setup. One thing I notice with my current setup. Last night I unplugged my sub and ran just the Studio 100s and listened to a few CDs. A lot of people rave about the 100s bass ability. I however noticed that the bass was not all that powerful. Would...

    3802 x-over

    Yogi, just so I am clear, your mains are getting a full range signal including LFE and your sub is getting a signal below 80 Hz from the receiver and you are then using the subs crossover to filter out anything above 50 Hz? Question...does your sub get a signal when you listen to just 2 channel...

    Yamaha 3200 and Paradigm Studio 100

    Hi everyone, Just wondering, I have read many posts about the Yamaha and Paradigm combo not being that good. My 3200 actually sound very good with the Studio 100s. I noticed though that many people have said that you need an seperate amp with output greater than 200 wpc in order to drive...

    rx-v2200 and paradigm

    Thanks for the info Martin. Actually, I am quite happy with the sound quality, but I have not heard the 100s with external amplification. I was thinking of upgrading to the 3200, but it really doesn't offer that much more power. Also, it is more than double the price I paid for the 2200. My...

    rx-v2200 and paradigm

    Anyone out there using the rx-v2200 Yamaha with Paradigm Studio 100s? If so, how do you like the combination? Also, how warm does the reciever get at regular listening levels? I believe the 100s are rated at 91 dB sensitive, so the Yamaha 2200 should be fine right?
