paradigm servo 15 v2 for a small room.
"Just because you have a large sub doesn't mean it's going to be running flat out. They don't need to be used to their full potential to sound correct".Fist thing off the bat is that I 100% guarantee you that abzolutely zero professional av review... 
center channel problem
I used to have the SCS3's in my system for an audition, as I used to sell the Thiel line. I would probably suggesty you get the large MCS1, and forget about it. The SCS3 is not so great a speaker. Not so open sounding, and rolled on top, from my r... 
Review of Emotiva Processors
Yeah as much as I know about the differences between what you get from a stand-alone AV pre/pro vs using an AV receiver as the pre/pro -mated with outboard amplification - I would much rather opt NOT to have do deal with faulty product with glitch... 
Best non-Magnepan rears to mate w/Maggie fronts?
"Here's my solution: Realistic Lineaum Pro LX-5's if you can find them." Lol. That is a good one!! Ah yes, the mighty Lineum LX-5! A fun little cheap speaker, indeed - a big little soundstager, it is. (although dry and bleached sounding on top end... 
Room design - home theater
if you're building from scratch here, you might as well do it the right way. If music, you'll do well with the coffered 9' ceiling. I would also NOT do exactly 14' x 21'. You will get much much better sonics if you add 6%-7% difference between mul... 
Magnepan MMG for HT
I think you're changing too many variables all at once. You won't know what does what in your system, by changing the processor and the speakers. I say change the processor, and upgrade to the latest Digital. Dynamics and detail will be a huge boo... 
Best setup for two subwoofers.
"Setup is important but a good quality sub is going to make a huge difference" (Docrobbi)My experience professionally, and decades at this, is just the opposite, actually. Just to consider. I would put this comment as "A good quality sub is import... 
paradigm servo 15 v2 for a small room.
Perspective from a pro AV systems designer, long time AV and hifi hobbiest here.Everything should be kept in balance. And with rooms/systems, balance is key. There are plenty of reasons that you should consider smaller speakers and a smaller sub c... 
Thiel SCS2 or MCS1?
Former Thiel owner here, and use to sell the product. If you're gunna stay with the MCS1's, yes, ,get the matching for center, or stay with stereo 2.1 channel for now. Also, do your system a major major favor however, and cross those MCS1's at 80h... 
Best setup for two subwoofers.
When all is said and done, your goals here should encompase these important points - if performance is at the forefront of your target: even base response from the woofers- with no major holes (peaks avoided and knocked down, if EQ'd), proper phas... 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
Give me the equivalent of an old Acurus Act 3, only up to date with all the latest, and I'd be happy for my movie setup! Throw in an EQ, and keep that same dynamic, clear detailed, clean sound, and I'll have another processor for a decade or so. 
Best setup for two subwoofers.
Bottom line here is you have so many variables in play here, it's gunna be nearly impossible for anyone to discern practical application here. I mean,it's all relative here, and any setup needs to balance out, with all issues addressed, and all va... 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
Can anyone who's been interested in audio gear, for at least couple decades or so, ever remember anything like this ever happening in the audio world? I can't for the life of me ever remember an empisode ever remotely close to this ever occuring! ... 
What's the latest word on the Emotiva UMC-1?
Anyone know if they worked out all the bugs yet? Toyota has been working on their product's issues. I'm just wondering if Emotiva is still shipping things "as is" to whoever will shell out the money?! They're trying to reach me to place an order -... 
is a center channel really necessary??
If you didn't care before, you're likely not going to be miserable without one now. Still, a center anchors the sound to the centered immage, especially for off-axis listening positions.At very least, you'll still need latest processing for best s...
