thanks for the info and the link. I did a little search and it turned up a whole bunch of internet stores that sells this receiver. If these stores are not "authorized" dealers (according to your link to Yamaha), does it mean that it is illegal for them to sell this product? if not, does it mean...

Hi, After some research and great advice from folks around here, I've decided to get the Yamaha RX-V1400 receiver. now, where to get a good deal online? thanks, jason

Hi, In a reply to one of my other posts, somebody described a receiver as "warm" - I'm not sure what that means. could someone explain? would you call the Yamaha RX-V1400 a "warm" receiver? thanks, Jason

Hello, where could I find some online reviews that are generally considered objective by folks around here (not promotions for the brand, or reviews linked from the manufacturer's web site), on these speakers: Paradigm Monitor (7, 9, 11, CC-370, ADP-370, ADP-170) Energy Connoisseur (C-9...

thanks for all the responses. I talked to my dealer again over the weekend. he said you could "argue for" the center to be CC-370 (instead of CC-170 he suggested first), but for surrounds, he said it's "unnecessary" to go with ADP-370. He still thinks ADP-70 would work fine. I think I will...

Hello, Which model of Paradigm center and surround speakers are timbre-matched to Paradigm Monitor 7, 9 or 11? my local dealer suggested CC170 and ADP70, but somebody on the board told me these are not the timbre-matched ones, but he did not remember the exact correct model. thanks, Jason

here is another link to the diagram: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?p...168652&size=lg

Steve, thanks for the explanation. which Studio model did you hear?

funny I'm getting more and more terms I'm not familiar with. what do you mean when you describe a receiver as "laid back" or "forward"? thanks!

I'm in the process of setting up a 5.1 HT surround system. Here is a diagram of the room size and layout: http://www22.brinkster.com/seafan/temp/ht.jpg with the position of TV and sofa shown in the diagram, the brick fireplace next to the sofa presents the problem. from what I read, the...

to the people who own the Monitors, what receiver do you use?

also, what do you guys mean by "more extension"?

Steve, I'm new at this, what do you mean by "imaging"? thanks, Jason

the Monitor-9s fit my budget nicely, the Monitor-11s are $200 more.

that makes me wonder, for the more expensive receivers, like the NAP-T753 mentioned above, is the difference (from the cheaper ones, like the Yamaha RX-V1400) in performance and cost really in the amplifier section?

Hello, I found these banana plugs on ebay for about $2/pair (4 single plugs): item # 3080028495 item # 3080098139 anyone has them? how is the quality? the first one advertise them as "24k gold" - makes me wondering, which part of the plug is gold? 24K is pure gold! thanks, Jason

Hello, I'm thinking about getting the Paradigm Monitor speakers as fronts. someone in my previous post mentioned that Monitor-9 is a little boomy. If you have heard both these two models, would you recommend Monitor-7 over Monitor-9? (is this a rare case that the more expensive, higher model...

that NAD is out of my price range then. any other suggestions besides the HK7200? thanks.

Hello, is there any tools to help with putting speaker wires in-wall? how to locate the position to drill in-between the sheetrocks? after drilling and putting in the wires, how to get the other end? (from attic to the baseboard is about 12 feet) thanks, Jason

how much is that NAD T753?

Hello, I was looking at some Paradigm Monitor speakers last weekend, and the store only carries high-end receivers like NAD, Rotel etc, they don't even carry Yamaha. The owner basically said only those receivers would make the best of the Paradigm speakers. I was considering Monitor 7 or 9...

what do you mean by "boomy"? I'm new at this, still learning the way to describe sound characteristics. thanks.

no doubt I'm a rookie in this hobby, no offense taken, your advice is quite helpful. actually I do need to learn how to audition, what to look (listen) for. you also brought up a very good point - the set up in the store. I wonder if it's because the Polk speakers were carefully set up at CC...

hello, I auditioned some Paradigm Monitor-9 speakers last weekend at a local audio shop. while the owner dismissed Polk (or Boston Acoustic) speakers as not even close to the Paradigm or JMlab speakers, (I wonder if that's his personal opinion, or if that's the general feeling around here) to...
