Thanks Mike! All that is left is to replace the noisy plasma with a QLED next year then maybe replace the Servo 15 with a much more powerful SVS down the road. I may also add some Atmos bounce speakers on top of the mains. I can’t do true height speakers because of the height and slope of the...

That picture was taken 6 months ago right after I moved and was still setting everything up. A few days after I took that picture, I spaced the mains apart, towed them toward the listening position, and placed the sub between the center and left front. That removed quite a bit of boominess from...

As it turns out, what I thought was a ground loop hum is actually caused by my plasma tv. With the receiver and amp both powered off, the hum is still there. I can eliminate it by either turning off the plasma tv or turning down the “picture” setting of the tv. I’ll have to look in the user...

No cable tv in that room. Here’s the setup: Panasonic plasma, Yamaha receiver, Anthem amp, TV, and Blu-ray player are all plugged into a Monster power center. I had the sub plugged into it as well but the hum was really loud. Removing the sub’s AC to its own wall outlet dropped the hum...

Paradigm Servo-15 (1st gen). After powering everything on to calibrate and test, there is a noticeable ground loop hum I’ve never had before. It’s not a show stopper but I’m definitely going to work on it this weekend as time permits. It seems as though replacing the ferrofluid in the center...

Before replacing the center channel, I’m attempting a quick fix. The tweeter dome and diaphragm didn’t appear damaged but what was left of the ferrofluid was a thick sludge. I cleaned all of the old fluid out and replaced it with a vial of new fluid from Parts Express. Everything came apart and...

I heard back from Paradigm support today. They say the current Monitor SE center and Atoms should match fine with my v1 Monitor 9s. If I choose to go that route, it will save me several hundred bucks that I can put towards a new receiver or pre/pro when I move.

I honestly haven't had time to price amps so I was just going off MSRP of Anthem's latest entry level 5-channel amp.

Thanks for the reply, John. I will most likely just replace the center and surrounds. I may give ELAC a listen if I can find a shop that has them on display. According to their website, my local Best Buy carries them but I don't know if any are set up on display and I know for a fact that they...

Hey gang! For a number of years, I was using our living room as a 5.1 HT with a pair of Paradigm Monitor 9s (v1), a Paradigm CC-350 center channel, a pair of Paradigm ADP-170 surrounds, and a Paradigm Servo-15 (1st gen) sub. About 10 years ago, my wife decided she wanted to rearrange the...
