Thanks for the help!

Thanks! If they don't make the same woofers anymore, is it better to just buy new speakers?

Not sure if I'm in the right place here... A friend has an old (30 years?) pair of Infinity speakers and the foam portion of the 12" woofers have rotted. The cabinets are still in great shape so he would like to keep them. Can anyone recommend a good replacement driver? Is PartsExpress a good...

I'll do some checking and let you know what I find. Unfortunately, I won't be able to mess with it until Friday. Thanks again.

Thanks, Lee. For the sake of assumption, let's say the problem is not the speaker, but the cables. I am using Sound King 12 gauge from Parts Express. Could this mean that I cut one of the small wires while I was stripping the insulation or attaching the banana plugs?

Was using S&V HTT and an SPL last night to do my calibration. I noticed that the test tone for my right surround speaker had a fair amount of static while the others were clear. When I changed the volume level on the receiver the static seemed to coincide with each press of the volume button...

JimW, When was it shipped? I had similar weather delays. Although I'm in Ohio, which is where the subs are shipped, it seems (IMO) that your sub should be at the center by tomorrow and you could pick it up Friday night. FYI (if end of day timing is an issue), don't let them tell you the...

FYI, I picked mine up to avoid the wait. Much easier, depending on where the UPS center is in your area. Pretty funny too. Everyone at UPS was shocked, amazed (and a little upset) at how heavy it was. :D

Set mine up last night and it sounds great. Very impressive. Still experimenting with room placement and calibration, so I'll save the review for later...

Picked mine up at UPS last night. Looks great and I know it will sound even better. To make me even happier, the wife already started complaining about how big it is! :) A little tension is a good thing, IMO.

Thanks Erik! I appreciate it. The 15 inches of snow would be the culprit. Should get it today.

Ordered one on the 3rd also, but haven't received a shipping notification yet. Bummer. It's the last piece of the puzzle, so I am getting a bit impatient. Hope it gets here by Friday.

Did a search and couldn't find the answers... Is there anyway to tell from the packaging all of the format options (stereo, 5.1, etc.) that are available on an SACD or DVD-A? Are DVD-A recordings mostly multi-channel? Are there stereo-only DVD-A recordings? Are most SACDs stereo...

Thanks Bob!

It seems that this issue has been covered extensively, but I haven't found all the answers yet, so here's a direct request. For a while I have been considering the Marantz 7300 and the Denon 3803 for my new receiver. There are actually more Rotel dealers in my area, so I am now considering the...

Newby here with a quick question... Can someone what a coaxial audio output is used for on a receiver and what I would hook it up to? I noticed that many receivers (denon, yamaha) don't have this option while others have two (harman, pioneer elite, b&k) and most have one.

Sounds like the Atoms are out if I can help it. Now, if size gets approval from the "war department," do I go with the 20s or the ADPs? I believe the 20s are $800 Canadian and the ADPs are $1050 (not including discounts of off list, etc.). Thanks for the help!

Thanks John, I am planning on getting the Studio CC, my mistake above. Will push for the 20s and look into the PW-2200.

Thanks, Alan. My room size is almost the same, 11x22x8. I was going to go with the 40s, but she liked the floorstanders better, which is more than fine with me. Was looking at the ADPs and they are the same overall size as the 20s (reversing the width and depth). I don't disagree that the...

I am seriously looking at getting the Studio 60s for fronts, a CC-370, the Studio 20s for rears, and an SVS sub. If the Studio 20s meet resistance from my wife due to size, am I giving up too much in quality by stepping down to the Atoms? They are really the only other Paradigms I can find...

John, Thanks for the info. How do you like the Paradigms? What else did you listen to before choosing them?

Sorry, should have mentioned earlier that the new SVS box will have the textured black surface. However, the box style should/might be easier to hide thus negating the need for decorating. I'm going through the same thing with my new speakers. They have to have a dark wood finish (like...

Thanks, Aaron. Yes, I was talking about Live Wire and I really appreciate your input. They would cost me $2350 US, if I bought them here. On a tangent, I really like the Mirage Omni series, but the wife insists on a darker finish to match the room. Don't have a PSB delear within 120 miles...

Trade it in for the new SVS PB1-ISD when it comes out this month...

I am seriously looking at buying some Paradigms in Ontario in the next week or two since it's only a 3 hour drive. For the Studio 60s, the Studio 20s and the Studio CC, I was quoted $2450 Canadian. List is $2850. Does this deal (14% off list) sound typical or should I press for a larger...

Thanks for the offer! I have heard the 601 S3s (and the Paradigms). I haven't heard are PSBs, Divas or Rockets and was wondering if I should. Sorry if my previous post was unclear...

Relatively new to the HT scene and this forum. Looking for a new set up and have listened to Paradigm and B&W. I have listened to the following: From B&W (all series 3) Fronts: 601s Center: LCR60 Rear: DM600s And from Paradigm Fronts: Studio 20 Center: CC-370 Rear: Atoms Will...

Ron, Thanks! I look forward to trying one soon.

Saw the question asked earlier and haven't found the answer anywhere... Can we get the dimensions of the PB1-ISD? Any specs? It would be a huge help to the planning process...

I am new to the game, so please be patient. I am trying to find a 5-disc DVD player that supports DVD-A and SACD and haven't had much luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Hoping to spend less than $1000.
