Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 or B&W 703?
I dont want you to leave, its OK to BS a little, we all do. Its human nature. But you cant say things like "Poor Distortion! ...............I feel sorry for him," and think that its just going to melt away. I remeber that slap at me, even if you d...

Clarinetuofm1985, Good call...I guess the B.S. meter pegged. Congrats on your purchase Mark. 
Whis is better B&W CDM 9NT or Signature 805?
I would imagine the Sigs and I own the CDM-9NTs.Dont get me wrong the CDM-9NT is an awesome speaker. I whole-heartedly endorse it. The real question might be is the Sig805 better than the N804? Since they cost about the same. Some folks like monit... 
Wall mounts for B&W CDM-1NT?
Check my system pics, my 1SEs got screwed. I am sorry I cant remember the manufacturers name. The place where I bought them has since gone out of business too.There is a ball that mounts on a shaft to the back of the speaker(really). That fits in ... 
Lexicon MC-12
Well I'll be darned your right. I must haved misplaced the "codes" when I was setting it up. As I understand it the L and R stay full analog, so I wonder if the Sub output is full range analog? Or does it pass thgrough the DSP and get crossed over... 
Lexicon MC-12
The SP1.7 does NOT allow use of the sub while in 2 channel bypass. The signal does not pass through anything but an analog volume and balance. It sounds fantastic in two channel bypass and you can bypass any analog input at any given time BTW. You... 
Krell Showcase set up help for newbie
I dont have a Krell Showcase but I will take stab at this anyway =). It sounds like the Krell Showcase is only "seeing" either a PCM signal or analog signal.In the Krells setup, do you have the input type selected as "digital" on the input assigne... 
What about ESL and Omnidirectional?
Mirage has some new omni's out. 
Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 or B&W 703?
Well I have owned both. For me it is no question, the CDM-NT series was/is superior in all areas except for bass extension. I havent heard the new 700 series but they are based on the same drivers. So I suspect they are very similar.Dont get me wr... 
Interconnects and Home Theater?
A1) 2 channel is my preference. Not that surround is uniformly bad. Some things sound pretty darned good in Multichannel, especially the in DTS:neo6 Music mode. Its nice for a change of pace as well.A2) I agree. Even Multichannel SACDs dont have t... 
CD player for a warm system
Admittedly I dont have a ton of experience with CDPs, but, I think a Theta DSPro IIIa DAC(or newer Generation model) may be worth listening to. As a matter of fact all the Theta DACs, including the older ones(I and II), sound very good indeed. Lot... 
bright up "warm sound" speakers
The BL1 interconnects are DH Labs, right? They are a silver/copper hybrid, use them where you can, especially from the source(JD100).I have a JD100, I really liked the highs when using Electro Harmonix 12ax7 tubes. These are available online from ... 
Jolida JD100. How good is it?
Whats the verdict Aleggro12? 
Tweeter replacement recommendations
The Morels came in. They are a perfect fit it the existing cutout and sound teriffic. Smoother, more detail, without the harshness the original tweets exhibited (Paradigm Titan V2).RGC, Partsexpress didnt have the exact replacement, they claimed o... 
Amp advice for large great room
My last Pre/Pro was the RSP-976 and I still use my RMB-1075 (center and rears). I bought a used Bryston 4B-ST and love it. Lots more power, but more importantly more bass control, more extended highs, better imaging, etc. Really everything improve...
