Home Theater Sub suggestions for 13x13 room
Checkout the SVS subs.The website is svsubwoofers.com.They have a 45 day return policy if you don't like it.But I doubt you will return it!Good Luck! 
Choosing Paradigm reference 40's v 2&3, 60's v 2&3
Quadophile,It's funny you mention those cds.I own both and have listened to them with the 20s.They really do justice to these recordings.Well...I figured if I liked them before complete breakin.I will love them after they have loosened up!The new ... 
Choosing Paradigm reference 40's v 2&3, 60's v 2&3
Great review Quadophile,Yeah you are certainly correct as for as the equipment goes.These speakers love some good amplification.I auditioned the Paradigm 20v3s at home with a 585 adcom limited audition and a Dared tube preamp.Having owned a near f... 
Choosing Paradigm reference 40's v 2&3, 60's v 2&3
Sorry Glennw I have no experience with those combinations.But having listened to v2s and v3 versions.The v3s are an improvement, at least to my ears.It will be hard for you to choose unless you can audition them at home. This will be the best way ... 
Killer two-way
After auditioning the Paradigm Reference 20v3s at home over the weekend.It is a no brainer! These speakers are very good and will make it difficult for you to consider spending more!Good Luck! 
Weight vs Wattage vs Current vs Slam vs Value
Well Paul I can tell you an amp being heavy has nothing to do with slam..more dependent on the speakers.I'am using a 60 wpc Dynaco st120 modified more than 10 yrs ago by Van Alstine.It weighs roughly 18 lbs.Has more slam than a 300 wpc Mac I used ... 
Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ?
Some of the Adcoms are suppose to...but I would try a professional amp like Peavey,Crown,and the like .These are designed to handle the tough ohm loads and do it all day!Good Luck! 
anyone heard the v.3 Paradigm Studio yet?
I listened to them for a little while.They sound pretty good.If you are already a Paradigm fan you will love them.I don't think they will sound too good inside of a bookshelf. Even being front ported they need some room to breath in order to sound... 
I'm trying Shanling SP-80 monoblocs at home...
Hello guys I just got one of those Dared SL-2000a tube preamps..thought I would give one a try. I have been hearing some good things about this gear.Very sweet preamp and for the price perfomance ratio ,I haven't heard anything that was better for... 
Bookshelf vs. Floorstand
Doodleboy ..I would go with the Grand Piano over the other two floorstanders you have mentioned.I am not a big fan of metal dome tweeters and prefer the sound of a good silk dome tweeter any day! I was auditioning the Sonus just the other day..nic... 
Best speakers for low power tube amp
Soliloquy,Silverline,Coincident and Equation 25s all are excellent with low powered tubes! 
Another Time and Phase thread
That's cool Bigtee ...just like some believe in ported,nonported,TL and everything in between.I know about the other thread just found another person with a different perspective .Just wanted to know what others think about his claims. 
Interconnect suggestion? Nordost/Kimber/AudioQuest
Try some Acoustic Research balance directional interconnects from Best Buys for $13.00 before tax! I tried these and found they compete well with cables many times their price.I'am still scratching my head trying to figure out why these cables are... 
good speakers matches for jolida 302b
The level at which you listen to music will be a factor in how far you need the Sols from the rear wall.If not at ear bleeding levels the Sols do fine 24 inches from the rear wall and maybe less depending on your listening habits.I have 6.3s 24 in... 
What would you choose among these to amp?
Maybe you need to go back to the drawing board on that one!Not trying to be funny but there's plenty of other products to consider.I'am with SoGood and jahaira on that!Good Luck!
