music to wake up vandy 5a subs
I use this disc anytime I setup a sub...not the type of music you asked for but worth owning even if only for it's deep bass as a test cd, although I do like the music on this cd because it's fun!(Archetype: original pattern or model; a (collectiv...

Paradigm X30 crossover problem??
If these are the Mission speakers you have listed in your system...I would use the 120hz high pass outputs. The Paradigm will not sharply cut off signals below 80hz so a good amount of low freq is still going to your Missions.I found this regardin...
