    I've got the 8.4s for the front 8.3s for the rear sides and the DFS bipolar for the rear backs and they sound great. Bring a set home to try if you can. My Home Theater

    Picture Problem

    They are single thin lines with a slight curve upwards at the top 1/3 of the screen. They also can increase in space between them to about halfway down the screen. As for movement it seems to be a up and down fast flicker. Also when they are on screen and there is a black image they are not...

    Picture Problem

    TV is still acting up with the red, blue and green lines at the top of the screen. Just wondering about possibilities of the problem since I don't know much about RP TV's. Is there a circut board going, do I need something cleaned or re calibrated. Any suggestions would help (especially if I...

    Paradigm Beef- Advice Needed(long)

    Craig & Ron, I would rather not say right now. I just got the sub back and if I have more problems I don't want to close the door on myself. If your not buying in the mid Vancouver Island area your OK. But other than some comments that maybe I took out of context do to frustration I was happy...

    Paradigm Beef- Advice Needed(long)

    Just picked up my sub today. Ya Ho. I had been talking directly to Gary Takeda @ Paradigm by "E" mail and was just waiting for its arrival back to the store. It turns out that the driver had a problem.

    Picture Problem

    I've got a Toshiba TP50G50 and its about 5 years old. Just recently I,ve started to get some lines on the screen. There is about 8 of them and they are multi colored, curved up wards near the top of the screen. They don't quite go to the outside of the screen. They stay on the screen for a bit...

    Wharfedale Diamonds for a 6.1 setup?

    I got the diamonds all the way around ecept for the sub and I'm very happy with them. They have clear hi's, clean mid's and tight bass. The 8.4's I think are much fuller sounding than the 8.3's. I do think you need a little more power to drive the diamond line because of the lower sensitivity...

    Paradigm Beef- Advice Needed(long)

    Talked to the Paradigm rep today. He confirmed that he had been in the dealer and listened to my sub. After a discussion about the problem he said that he has instructed the store to send the amp & driver back to be tested. He admits there is some sort of problem but he is not a tech. He also...

    Paradigm Beef- Advice Needed(long)

    Thanks everyone for their advice so far. I "E" mailed paradigm and now waiting to see if they respond. I would just like to say that the sub that works does everything and more that I wanted. The PW-2200 is a great sub but like everything thats made these days there is some that are flawed right...

    Paradigm Beef- Advice Needed(long)

    Decided to upgraded from a KSW-12 to the Paradigm PW-2200 in Dec. Well the store I was buying it from did not have one in stock but said they could have one shipped from another store that also carriers Paradigm. Great. The sub arrived and this is where the problems started. When it arrived it...

    Thinking of Wharfedale

    I've got the Diamonds in my 6.1 system. They sound great for music and even better for HT especially for the price. I did not go for their sub thought it was a little weak. I don't think you will be disappointed with the diamonds. Mike B My Home Theater

    Paradigm Sub vs...

    I'm very happy with my PW-2200. It was a little boomy with music to start but after some break in time, moving it around in the room and fine tuning it sounds a lot better. Home theater wise its great. It took on Star Wars AOTC's and survived no problem, but the house is now 2 feet closer to the...

    Wharfedale Speakers at Best Buy

    I've got the wharf. diamond's in my home theater setup and I think they sound great. But I do think you need a little more power to drive them because of the lower sensitivity. There a good start if you want to do all the speakers at once for a reasonable price and get decent sound. My Home...

    Upgrade Klipsch KSW-12 to Paradigm PW-2200

    WOW!!!!! Brought home the PW-2200 for a test drive. No more clipping out, much better with music a definite improvement all the way around. This baby shakes the house considerably more. Price $800can with a Y con. and a 6 meter cable thrown in. $750 if I keep the floor model I got at home (6"...

    Upgrade Klipsch KSW-12 to Paradigm PW-2200

    Thinking of upgrading my Klipsch KSW-12 to Paradigm PW-2200. I'm not very happy with my Klipsch it keeps clipping out on me. I don't really think I'm pushing it to hard, I just don't think it can handle some of the LFE's on some DVD's. Will the PW-2200 be a big improvement? My choice is narrowed...

    Plugs on back of speakers

    Howdy Geoff, I think your right about the sand. My mistake thought the 8.4's don't have a plug just the 8.3's. Anyway I removed it and checked inside. Theres a board that separates the bottom from the speaker chamber. My guess is that the 8.3's are narrower and have one less speaker than the...

    Plugs on back of speakers

    On the back of my Wharfedale 8.4's and 8.3's there is a plastic plug. Whats it for, can it be removed, does doing this change the sound of the speaker? Any comments or other info would be appreciated. Thanks Mike B
