| Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2 I’ve owned Paradigm Speakers (both the Studio and Signature line), Parasound amps (A21 and A51), and Emotiva amps (XPA2, XPA3). I had listener’s fatigue with Emotiva and Paradigm. Not so, with Parasound. | |
| McIntosh MX121 vs. MX119 for 2-channel The MX121 is really a Marantz AV7005, while the MX19 is true Mcintosh gear. That’s why. | |
| PS Audio PWD II vs. NAD M51 I have both. They both sound great and would be happy with either one, but if I had to choose keeping one, I prefer the PS Audio DACII over the NADM51. The DACII has a bit more air, warmth and musicality. | |
| Classe Sigma Mono's I used to own the Sigma AMP2 but sold them to free up funds for bigger purchase. I thoroughly enjoyed them during my time and wouldn't mind owning them some day again, specially due to it's size and weight. Even though they are class D amp, they... | |
| Paradigm and Revel I've been a Paradigm fan since 1998 when they came out with the Studio 100s. By the way, I still have them looking for a local sale. I now have a set of Paradigm Signature S6v3 and Studios 20v5 in a 5.1 setup, and revel F208 in a 2.0 setup. I co... | |

| Revel F208 vs. Paradigm 75F: Auditioning The Revel F208 is $5,000 MSRP. You may have been thinking of the F206 which is $3,500. I have the F208 hooked up to a Pass Labs XA30.5 (30 watt Class A amp) and don't feel they are under-powered. I actually like how they sound and very happy with ... | |
| Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ? I have this exact setup in my bedroom (19L x 18W x 10H), F208 with XA30.5. I have no problem playing music loud. The combination makes glorious music. Love the pair. | |
| polk rtia9 vs paradigm studio 100 For 2-ch music listening, I would choose the Paradigm speakers over the Polk. | |
| Low output on my new marantz pm-15s2 I own the pm11s1 and also had owned the pm15s1. It's perfectly normal with these units. At -70, you should hear faintly, at -60, you should be able to hear the music perceptibly, at low volume. |
