| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music This is very sad news. I'm still enjoying my TSM-M's that I purchased used over 10 years ago. When I first received them, I contact Merlin, and Bobby was quick to respond and offer advice. He was very helpful (despite the fact that I didn't buy di... | |
| Anyone heard of Monoprice Cables? I purchased some optical cables from them and they were fine. I'd buy from them again. | |
| Ruining music with a cheap sub I used a Def Tech 15" subwoofer that sounded great on movies, but just didn't sound right when listening to music. Although the bass was powerful, it seemed like it was just not keeping up with the music and kind of gave me a headache. I listen at... | |
| Static electricty - Can it damage audio gear I'll echo Bob's comment. Get a humidifier. It'll make you feel warmer too. | |
| m & k subs ? I purchased an M&K MX-350 off Audiogon several years ago. For music purposes, it was a tremendous improvement over my previous Definitive Techology PFTL15. The Def Tech hit hard for movies and produced tremendous bass for movie effects, but th... | |
| Recommended amp to drive Paradigm speakers I used a Rotel 100 Watt Amp for Studio 60's and had good results. | |
| Best Speaker New or Used under $1.5K I had the Paradigm Ref 60's and upgraded to Merlin TSM-M's which I purchased used (can be found around $1200 used). I still use Studio 20's for the rears, and Studio CC and was worried that the TSM-M's would not blend in well with the Paradigms wh... | |

| Which companies also offer good service?? Merlin has been great to me. My speakers were purchased used through Audiogon and Bobby has been extremely helpful. | |
| Bookshelf vs Floorstand speakers for HT???? I owned both the Studio 60's and Studio 20's. In my opinion, the Studio 60's had better midrange, as well as better bass. However, the Studio 20's are still nice speakers and for your application would probably do the job. Don't forget to factor i... | |
| Upgrade the speakers or upgrade the receiver? If your Denon has pre-outs, I'd get a seperate amplifier. If not, the receiver upgrade should come before the speakers. The Studio 60's are nice speakers for the money. | |
| Paradigm Monitor 5v2 - Studio 40 v3 - worth it? At one point I upgraded from Monitor 7's to Studio 60's. It was a certainly a worthwhile and significant upgrade. If you have the funds, go for it. | |
| What is " lowball" I agree with Viridian. Since no one actually knows what the seller considers a "lowball" offer, I feel that any offer is appropriate.If the seller doesn't like it, they can just say so. I believe that ignoring someone's offer is rude. | |

| Dish satelite vs Cable quality? I originally had Comcast Digital Cable in Baltimore and 2 years ago switched to Directv. My reason for switching was due to Comcast's poor service and price increases. Several times the cable would go out, and Comcast would send a signal to the di... |
