Question for Tragically Hip fans
It's really too bad how underappreciated this band is in the USA, it really just boggles my mind how its even possible for a band this good to go unnoticed. BTW if you're Canadian and haven't heard any of the Hip's music, shame on you cause they'r...

What integrated to go with Paradigm studio/60's???
I've had the speakers for about five months and I do know that they take a while to break in because I was sorely disappointed at first. They took at least 50 hrs for the bass to even start to appear. As for the DVD player, it is an NAD which has ...
