| Need help on HT speaker system I second the Paradigm recommendation. If you don't mind buying "previously loved" speakers, you can snag a set of Studio 80s or 100s for the front L/R, a Studio CC for the center (matches better to the fronts than the CC450), and some Studio 20s o... | |
| Favourite Guitar CDs Wow, a coupla you guys stole my lines - Danny Gatton and Al DiMeola are two of the best I've ever seen. Danny was (and will always be) the best in my book - I saw him many times at a local club (for $5.00!!!) and was able to get up close for a goo... | |
| Kodak DC-280 Can't take pictures of black amps You need more light on the subject, this will allow the camera to focus and set the aperture/shutter speed properly...-RW- | |
| Best speakers for $500 or less A good, used set of Paradigm 40s or 7SEs could probably be had for that price point, I see some 40s on the 'Gon right now for $575 and a pair of 7SEs for $200 (!!).Good luck,-RW- | |
| Head Hunters? Try Osibisa, especially the 1st three albums. And get a load of those Roger Dean-authored covers!-RW- | |
| Tweeter height - how to compensate? Sit on a nice, big, over-stuffed pillow?-RW- | |
| How much power/channel for multi-channel amp? ...there is an H/K Signature 2.1 w/100 watts/ch. going for $500 right now - that's only a buck per watt for a pretty nice high-current amp. I'm using one right now and it really does the job for me. It's running Paradigm 80s and a CC-350 in front ... | |
| Good speaker compatability with NAD C 370 The NAD should sound pretty good with the Paradigm Studio line, I see that A'gon has a set of Studio 60s and a set of Studio 40s at $600/offer, pretty close to your $500 target figure...-RW- | |
| A Shocking Experience Place a "Bounce" dryer sheet near your TT and touch it before touching the TT - it should completely eliminate the shock you are receiving...-RW- | |
| Good DVD Concert? Music for Montserrat - Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Elton John, and Paul McCartney and others at the Royal Albert Hall. Excellent sound and very good videography, not that quick-cut MTV crap.John Fogerty, "Premo... | |
| Biggest Live Miss 23 years ago today............ I was one of the fortunate ones who saw the ELP Brain Salad Surgery Tour - simply incredible! I *knew* I was in for a good show when I walked onto the floor, looked to the stage and saw two HUGE stacks of speakers. Then, I looked to the back and s... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Speakers, in general, are the most imperfect link in the chain. How many of you would put up with 5% distortion in your electronics? Not me, that's for sure. Yet, we do this *every* time we listen to our speakers. The physical transformation from ... | |
| Who makes a truly universal DVD/CD player? Check again, I don't believe any of these support all the formats listed - the Denon does not have an HDCD decoder...-RW- | |
| Great Rock & Roll speakers? You should take the drive over to the Paradigm dealer and give the 80s and 100s a listen. They will play plenty loud; have excellent, deep, tight, bass; image quite well; and look very elegant if you opt for one of the real wood finishes. I curren... | |
| Maryland,Wash.DC Metro area I have contacted several folks who have expressed interest in forming a "club" and received positive repsonses from all. It was suggested to me, and I concur, that we initially meet at the upcoming Tysons Corner record show being held Sun. Mar 9, ... |
