Paradigm or JL subwoofer
@audiotroy Thanks for the comment. My sub is SW1000, would you say the same for the 1000SW compared to the 12" JL 
Paradigm or JL subwoofer
@fiesta75 That's what I was told in a showroom, that the JL's go way deeper than the Paradigm. The problem for me is I can only spend so much. My Paradigm cost $3000 plus tax, I put it up for sale on Craigs List and no bites. The JL's cost at leas...

@james633 I will have to look up highness crossover. Thanks for sharing your experience with JL  
Would adding a separate 3 channel help in this situation
@willland Thanks for that information. I also have a large multi use room. I will talk to my Paradigm dealer about it and see if I can try out the Paradigm 3 channel amp before buying 
Would adding a separate 3 channel help in this situation
My receiver is excellent, Anthem 1120, so distortion is not the problem. The sound is great, I have a Paradigm X-15 Defiance sub, its just that the sound goes way up anytime there is any kind of special effect sound. I thought an amp running the f... 
Streaming Atmos on Netflix vs BluRay
I do both. I stream from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Apple TV+ and HBO Max. I find the quality to be excellent on my 5.1.4 Atmos system. I started renting 4K Atmos DVD's and the sound quality and Picture quality is a level better than streaming although... 
Recommendation for replacement of Paradigm X-15 subwoofer
@erik_squires I will look into it. I replaced a smaller HSU with the Paradigm. I will probably stay with Paradigm as my speakers are Paradigm and my receiver is Anthem. The Prestige is a lot smaller than the X-15 as it is 12". I just don't know ho...

Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver
@soix Thanks for your response. I have been looking into Coaxial cables and I really did know where to start. I don't want to pay a lot of money and I don't want to waste my money on something that is not good. I will check out the Apogee Wyde as ... 
Widex Hearing Aids
that's great for you. I have been using Phonak that I bought from Costco. I am on my second pair, I think I started 6 years ago. Not sure if I get the sonic improvement you get but at least I can understand my daughter's soft voice 
Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver
@cissado,Thanks for your response. Yes I am using room correction. Should I be using digital coaxial connection instead of optical or does it not matter. Thanks again 
Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver
I just checked out the links. It looks like I can get a very inexpensive coaxial cable. I thought I would have to spend into the hundreds for one 
Connecting Bluesound Node 2i to Anthem receiver
Thanks for all the suggestions. I did test RCA jacks from Bluesound vs optical cable with my Anthem 1120. I decided I like the Anthem more than the Bluesound DAC but I'm not actually sure. They both sound good. As far a Digital Coaxial, I don't wa... 
Qobuz Finally Offers Family Plan
I pay for Qobuz and Apple Music. I’m thinking of adding the family plan on Qobuz so my son can use it. My wife and daughter will not use Qobuz. Does anyone think that Apple Music will offer hi res music. As of now they think AAC is all that is ne...
