Paradigm 90P or Studio 100,s
I suffered for many years with Paradigm Studio/60 v2 in very revealing system (Benchmark DAC1, Rowland 102). I even replaced aluminum dome tweeter with soft dome type (Morel Supreme) but could not integrate it properly. I ended up buying Hyperion ...

Furman Elite -15i linear filtering AC power source
Markeetaux - I have Furman Elite 20PFi. Sound has less of bass resonances and, possibly because of that, cleaner midrange.What surprised me was brighter and more colorful (stronger, cleaner colors) DLP HDTV. TV is 100% digital so I suspect it has ... 
Can someone give me an explaination re: power amp.
Atmasphere I agree - feedback is evil. It is less of a problem in class A amps since gains before feedback are as low as 200 but it might be big problem with class AB where gains before feedback are in order of 4000.In class AB with most linear co... 
ss amp ideas for tube pre and paradigm studio 100s
Most of amps have max power at 1:00-2:00 position. If it clips you need stronger amp otherwise it might damage tweeters. 
Aluminum wiring
Problem with aluminum is that has different thermal expansion coefficient and connections on wall outlets can get loose over time causing exposed wire surface oxidation and sparking/overheating (aluminum oxide is isolator). There are special wall ...

How big? Pics please! 
Amplifier Specs
Mordenmail - I don't think 20Hz-20kHz is "given" since full power at 20kHz is absolutely useless. For class D it could not be possibly specified for the reason I mentioned before (full power at 20kHz would damage output filter).Average music power... 
Buy LED, LCD or Plasma
Learsfool - I only questioned post that stated 80" min. size for 20' distance. There is nothing wrong with smaller size if 80" is not available or doesn't fit above fireplace. 60" is good size (and above it price goes up really fast). 
Audiophile Record Labels
I have very good recordings from Linn, Hyperion, Sheffield Labs, Telarc. 
Amplifier Specs
Question is different from accusing somebody of cheating.B&K amp in question is most likely class D amp where output circuitry (Zobel network) would burned out at full power at high frequencies. It is irrelevant since there is very little powe... 
Amplifier Specs
Do not call it cheating unless you can explain why you need 150W above 1kHz. 
Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound
Papaya - How can you expect "intensity" from the source (CD, LP) that has compressed dynamics. Just grand piano alone has huge dynamics that cannot be reproduced without speakers "buzzing" on boom box or cheap system. Audiophiles represent very sm... 
Green, Eco Friendly Class A Monoblocks
Atmasphere - average music power delivered to speakers is very low. It is in order of few watts (few percent of max power) while class A takes up to 8x max power. Class A take the same power all the time. When delivers power to speakers (few watts... 
Buy LED, LCD or Plasma
"Not that many people actually repair electronics these days, but something to consider."Yes it is. Best Buy has repair facility that is able to replace bad parts (fixed my CRT TV). The problem is that boards are SMT and ICs are very difficult or ...
