| Paradigm Reference Studio 40 v.2 I have the Studio 100's. You will want a high current amp of pretty good wattage in the neighbourhood of 125 - 150Wpc for the 40 and more for the bigger speakers in the line. Good cabling is also a must. I use the Virtual Dynamics Audition cables ... | |
| Opinions on Paradigm vs. Axiom vs. NHT? If you are going to go for Paradigms the consider the Studio series. Yes it costs more but perhaps you could do it in stages. You won't regret it! As to brightness... throw an area rug on the floor between your listening chair and your speakers. P... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3 24 What R My Ears Telling Me? My guess is that the A3-24 is defective. Take it to the shop where you purchased it from and have them do a side by each comparison with a known good unit. If I'm not mistaken, Sam Tellig had a defective A3-24 for his first review sample - it can ... | |
| Musical Fidelity amp for Paradigm Studio 100 FWIW I am running my 100's on an Anthem MCA-20 amp and am not displeased with it. For what I payed it's pretty good indeed - very black background! To be sure, there are better amps and perhaps one day I may even purchase one but these amps start ... | |
| Burn in time for Virtual Dynamics Cables I have the complete Audition package. They are very good cables. For the price they are hard to beat. I find them to be a bit lacking in air on the highest frequencies. Deep Purple's Machine Head which has lots of tape hiss from the original tape ... | |
| Used Pre-amp with HT pass-thru Sonic Frontiers Line 1 has all you need plus it has tubes which add their unique twist to your music (very nice). Good remote and built like a tank all for around $1k or less. | |
| Amp for Paradgim Studio 100 As I said earlier (kzx0v6) I am running the Anthem MCA-20 and am reasonable happy with it. Would I prefer a Bryston or Bel Canto or some such - certainly but I've run out of cash. I found cabling made a huge difference for the better on my system.... | |
| Help with SF Line1 relay trigger Write to sonic frontiers but I suspect that the trigger isn't set up for the Monster. My Line 1 won't trigger my Anthem MCA-20 because the Line 1 is using an older trigger design than the new one on the amp - these two products are made by the sam... | |
| Denon 5800 as preamp in "pure direct" mode? I went through much of the same sort of dillema as you. Although my Surround receiver isn't up to the caliber of yours it suites my needs for movies adequately. I started by adding a Anthem MCA-20 amp at 225Wpc. Then I added a few Harmonic Technol... | |
| Experience with Virtual Dynamics Audition line I have the Audition package as well and am very happy with it so far. I had a minor complaint not too long after I first got my cables about a month ago and Rick emailed me to contact him as he thought he had a solution to my problem. Turns out he... | |
| Virtual Dynamics -- what has it beaten? Well, I owe a bit of an apology to Rick. I was for a little while of the opinion that I spent "THAT" much for cables and although they sounded good there was no magic. I was thinking that if Gunbei is pleased as punch with his cables then why am I... | |
| Virtual Dynamics -- what has it beaten? leme,Thankyou for your comment. The problem isn't one solved by swapping the + and -. In a biwire setup you will have phase relationships with the mid/highs and the bass. If using two different cables on the same speaker of two different lengths y... | |
| Virtual Dynamics -- what has it beaten? Just got off the phone with Rick at Virtual Dynamics. He says that the problem I'm experiencing is a phasing problem where one cable is out of phase with the other in the biwire setup I have. This manifests by cancelling some frequencies and accen... | |
| Virtual Dynamics -- what has it beaten? I received a VD Audition package a week ago and am still waiting for it to burn in a little more before making any final comments. As Gunbei says, these sort of things are system dependant.My initial impressions: I like a lot of what I hear but...... | |
| who repairs sonic frontiers? M,I also have the Studio 100's plus a PW220 plus a Studio CC plus a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors on Atlantis stands in the rear. The Onkyo passes through the Line 1 for HT. I don't need the greatest fidelity for HT because I am more focused on t... |
