| Slight hum from SLI-80 power amp A loose or dirty cable connection could be the culprit also.If the tube swap gives no results try cleaning all of the connections. | |
| "a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio" They certainly are attractive.I believe Paradigm is mostly targeting the home theater crowd.I'm nowhere near as nitpicky regarding SQ with our very modest ht set up.Movies and the soundtrack music sound really good but falls short for music only l... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! @decooney you have a whole loom now!I might end up with one too.I'm somewhat of a cable junkie and am still trying some different ics.But the speaker cables are staying forever.Somehow the Analysis ics keep finding their way back between the pre a... | |
| Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know? @ishkabibil "why buy speakers with limited bass response?" Some of us like the flexibility of smaller speakers that are easy to position for the best presentation.Then add subs at optimal positions around the room.There are no longer any peaks or ... | |

| The order of getting more/better bass I have no equalizer.Reasonably efficient speakers,a decent amp,multiple subs,bass traps = excellent tuneful bass | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! So decooney and I have been comparing notes and when I seemed to be stuck obsessing over wire he suggested trying different tubes again to banish the last traces of annoying glare.He was right.I needed to add some richnessBefore the AP scs Sofia 6... | |
| Mmmm Crow tastes good... Many of us here don't have the means or good fortune to have a great space or expensive equipment.Like me.Try to ignore the ones that hit 'send' before they think.There are plenty of people that will offer helpful and thrifty suggestions.Even entr... | |
