New to the Hobby what would you do next?
This is what makes the hobby so much fun for me. Trying to find the right components for as little money as possible without sacrificing much if any in performance.There are so many goodies out there for cheap. It's just finding them and knowing w... 
Gon bonkers with def tech...help..
From your listening preferences above .Looks like you made the right move. The Deftecs are terrific for HT..I loved the hell out of mine. Just don't get carried away trying to make them into a serious music speaker. If you follow too much advice o... 
Budget speakers for Orchestral music?
Oh boy that's a tough one! If you had a little more power I would recommend the Brines Acoustic LT-2000 with the (Lowther DX3 driver). It may work well who knows? Speakers like this aren't lush sounding unless the equipment used with them are lush... 
Budget speakers for Orchestral music?
What is the output power of your tube amplifier? 
Best of Both Worlds,
Def Techs are great for movies but suck for music. NHTs would be the better compromise between the two...movies and music that is.

What are the rest of the components in the system? 
digital upgrade opinions
If redbook is your primary choice in cds. I would go with the Dac.You can then in the future go with another player or computer based system and still use the Dac.Cheers

I think Viridian pretty much nailed the sound and average used price. 
Verastarr FR-8 Monitors
Not necessarily Lightfla. The Fostex 206E/207E aren't bad drivers. The point was for what Verastarr FR-8 Monitors cost. You could get the cream of the crop Fostex Monitors for roughly the same amount of money.Now if your planning to use a low watt...

Question for Paradigm Studio 100 owners ...
Let me go on the record that I have never heard the 100v2s sound good close to the walls.The bass was always sloppy and boomy. This it with the use of at least 6 different amplifiers and several different preamps and sources.Also setup up in 4 dif... 
Tube pre w/ remote and phono: used 5-$600.....
Good luck finding all these features for that price. I've grown tired of looking for a tubed preamp for my preferences and price range.I've decided to have it custom built.This maybe your best bet.If your not a name hound and value quality parts a... 
Question for Paradigm Studio 100 owners ...
Well current doesn't seem to be the problem. You also may want to check your speaker leads. If one speaker is running out of phase it will kill the bass in your system. The 100v2 has plenty of bass for most rooms and too much for others. It's not ... 
Question for Paradigm Studio 100 owners ...
Hello,What is the rest of your equipment?The bass will start at the source/preamp then the amplifier and from there the speakers.Moving them out in the room will probably lean up the bass..maybe make it sound a little tighter and cleaner. The 100s...
