Advice on room placement of Paradigm 100 v3 ??
I switched from B&W N805's (fronts), CDM CSE (center), and Leisure Monitors (rears).
I got tired of trying to get my subwoofer to fill in the midbass and bass. The 805's were incredible...and disappeared--they did MANY things very very well, but lacked some things too.
I fear I may have made a terrible mistake. I now have Paradigm 100 v3's in the front, 570 in the center, and adp 470's in the rear. My home theater is now rocking (NAD T762 Receiver--We can talk about an Anthem upgrade another day).
But I use the Fronts for "double duty" for two channel music as well (and here is where the problem begins). I have Rogue M150's, VPI TNT IV, CAT Preamp.
Anyway, the problem.... I have the 100's about 4 feet off the rear wall, 3 feet off the side walls. They are about 10 feet apart. Traditionally, I have sat at the apex of an equalatteral (sp) triangle for imaging and locking the center in two channel music. I CAN NOT GET THESE 100's to focus :(
I have moved my litening position further, closer--I have moved the speakers further--closer...still not locking.
Is it just that these things will never focus?
Can anyone give me some suggestions (besides "quit whining")
Thanks in advance.
