    VMPS Sub Woofers

    I have owned a VMPS Original Sub for about four years. It is a 1991 model with an updated 12-inch Mega Woofer. I am using a Rotel power amp bridged to 300 watts to drive it. I have owned a ton of subs and I find it to be the most musical sub I have ever encountered. It blends in beautifully with...

    Any idea what they are worth?

    I have some Maggie SMGA speakers that are in really good shape, but are gathering dust in my basement. I believe they date to about 1990. Any idea what they are worth to sell? I was thinking around $200 CDN. Thanks in advance

    Paradigm Atoms v5

    I own the Mini Monitor V5 and absolutely love it. Back in 1997 I had the Mini Monitor, not sure which version, and found it a little edgy. The V5 seems much more refined.

    Subwoofer issues

    I had a similar problem. It turned out to be a cracked circuit board in my Denon receiver, behind where the sub plugs in. This was a VERY loud humming sound that would shake the house. The sub would come on at full blast at 3 a.m. and wake everyone up. It was as though it was possessed. Denon...

    Paradigm HT set-up

    I used to own a PS-1000 series two sub, which I agree was boomy and sloppy on music. I got rid of it but have since purchased a series IV PS-1000 and the difference is very noticeable. The amplifier has been greatly improved on the Series IV and the woofer has also be changed. This newer sub is...
