| What music do you use to assess your system? Oh boy, and we've officially digressed, 4 posts into the thread. WARNING: do not watch that video unless you have 4 minutes to burn.

| Clear Day w Solid State, any users and impressions Everything said is true. Paul is a great guy (only spent an hour or two on the phone with the man, but would consider him family). His cables sound great. His cables taught me what "fleshed out" means. Great inner detail, extended and airy highs. ... | |
| Best cheap speaker cables............again I'll list the speaker cables I've had in my system and my thoughts:Clear Day Shotguns and Double Shotguns- Most "fleshed out" sounding cable I've had in my rig. Great highs (i've not experienced the harshness that people associate with silver cabl... | |
| Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor? Lol Stereo5 and Jmc! Too funny.CT, if the two of you love the Harbeths, GET THEM!! Like Gsm said, just put them on some good looking stands...I just don't think your wife likes speakers, period, lol. "She doesn't like speakers on stands, she doesn... | |
| Use Your Own Ears Interesting thread. My personal preference has been changing from a very detailed (cold, analytical?) sound to a more musical sound. It's interesting how some systems thread the music together and let you hear the music, the nuances, and the pace,... | |
| Speaker suggestions please Nola Boxers can sound amazing if set up well. I would think 6 ft. wouldbe enough.On a side note, I met the family that builds Nola speakers at RMAF this year and they're great people. Made me feel right at home. Laid back and friendly :-) | |
| Jamo D830 In Walls: What to do? Lol, I think you're right, my friend!I'm going to chaulk it up as a learning experience and press on with trying to make them work. I have a new appreciation for the science behind speaker building. | |
| Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please Hi Wayne! Even crossing them over at 100hz, the 20's will play louder and stay more composed at high volumes, other than that, I felt the 10's and 20's sounded almost identical... I think they are beautiful speakers to look at (piano black being m... | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? Mapman, you put my question in better perspective and I should have mentioned sonething about it in the original post, but thats what I was trying to understand, if distortion is audible when listening at low volumes and when a speaker WASN''T bei... | |

| HELP WANTED Paradigm Monitor series pricing BoJack, I agree about what you said about the studio's having a bite to the treble; I think thats why I can't live with them fortoo long. The 3se is a great little speaker. Owned a pair when I was 12, 23 years ago! | |
| Does your system sound better than most demo's? See, I told you! We all have some bitchin systems, lol. Something else to consider is that we spend months dialing in our rigs and most local shops don't care. Also, I've found that at shows, by day 3 they sound the best because of fine tuning.Any... | |
| HELP WANTED Paradigm Monitor series pricing Hi Minothor! In my oppinion, I'd go for something in thier Studio line, not monitor. The monitor 7 v.2 is a good speaker it's just that the studio series is better (more detailed and open sound). I see Monitor 7's come up for sale quite often (TMR... | |
