| Monitors for $1500-$2000 with NAD320BEE Integrated you know I might be a bit of a old lady here but what exactly does "better sounding" actually mean? is there some aspect of your sound you would like to improve or just speakers that are considered to be all around better? FOr that matter I'm not ... | |
| Rotel Receiver not a answer exactly bot a couple thoughts. I played with a rotel 1560 when they first came out and at that time it had a really annoying feature that killed it for me. that was anytime you started a new disc/movie/ or something there was a severa... | |
| Paradigm studio 100s Wish I had a good answer for you Mmeysarosh. One thing I did notice was that the V4 cabinet was not exactly a noodle so any difference there would likely be the curvature. Entirely possible that I simply do not have the ear to note the differences... | |
| Speaker recommendation. have $2,500 How about some Mag 1.6 planars with a sub? | |
| Paradigm studio 100s I think most of the comments above are fairly on target. Nice speakers. I personally found them somewhat lacking in detail (Rotel 1560 driving them in a treated room) with a tiny bit of a muddled midrange. Eventually I went in another direction bu... | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 well stated | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 mjcmt I would not bee too shocked by the discrepancy in electronics when auditioning speakers. Most of the time you get what the shop has the speakers set up on. Sometimes you can mix and match, sometimes you cant. If this is all you can use to ma... | |
| Aerial 7B's vs Totem Forest ? out of curiosity have you considered a bookshelf system? You have a very good sub to fill in so how about some of the bookshelves that are small but punch big? I auditioned some Dyn C1's in a really big room once and they were really hitting above... | |
| Paradigm Studio 10 or ERA D4/D5 oops griffinconst caught me. I listened to the D5's versus the Studio 20's. sorry. I do know both will go very big for such small units. I prefered the D5's but I sure would not be unhappy with the 20's. | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 Similar to James63 and LoomisJohnson I would come down on the Studio100 side of the fence. I listened to both for at least one hour with my own material. The polks with a Yamaha V683 driving it and the 100's driven with a Rotel 1560. Both rooms we... | |
| Paradigm Studio 10 or ERA D4/D5 i did something very similar to your plan. Unlike the previous posts I found the D5's to be better to my tastes than the studio 10 with margin. Opinions vary of course. I used D5s as fronts and d4's as surrounds. I auditioned both extensively and ... | |
| Alternative Speaker Suggestions Wanted noticed your description on the home theater page and I was wondering if Dynaudio C1's would be a potential? Not heard the suggestions above. Is used an option? | |
| Separate Sub +Tower or Integrated Sub I'd go separates and now worry too much about getting to 16hz unless you really like pipe organs or such. Assuming of course that 16 is achievable and not a specmanship issue? Same money but you have lots of advantages like flexible position of th... | |
| Alternative Speaker Suggestions Wanted any thoughts on how the B80's sound? Never heard them but if they have some characteristics you appreciate some suggestions may pop out? | |
| Small monitor- made in the states would aerial 5 series work? |
