| Paradigm Signature S-2, S-4:Good, bad, indifferent I currently use Paradigm Studio 40 v.3. I listened to the S4's with a McIntosh MA-6900 integrated last winter. They sounded considerably better than the Studios. The only thing that kept me from buying them was this stingy little thing called my 2... | |
| Monitor Audio GR10's? Dynaudio 52SE? I have a pair of Monitor Audio Bronze b2's in a small system in my basement. I am pleased with them in that system. I am currently considering replacing speakers in my main system, stereo music only. So I have been researching the gr10's and 20's.... | |
| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat Last year I listened to the RA-1070 with B&W 805s. They seemed too reserved with the Rotel. At another dealer I listened to the Rotel with Paradigm Studio 20's. They matched very well. | |
| Definitely not the sound of silence : Do you have a television hooked into your system? If so, do you have cable? If you do you may need a ground loop islator. | |
| Audio equipment and cars...enthusiast thread... I have a son in college. My daughter will be in college next year. I have two more daughters coming up. So it is either a nice car or or a nice stereo system. After all, a car can only take me to limited places. When I relax in my comfortable chai... | |
| Which Used CD Player for Under $1,500? The only player I am familiar with on your list is the Musical Fidelity a3.2. I have one, along with the a3.2 integrated amp. It has a fine sound with a solid build quality. I have noticed some on Audiogon for a good price. | |
| Paradigm Monitor 5v2 - Studio 40 v3 - worth it? I currently have the Studio 40 v.3. They sound very good for their price. As regards to the 80 wpc NAD amp you mentioned- that should work well. I was using a NAD 7174PE receiver (75 wpc) when I first got the 40's. My room size is about 14x 18. It... | |
| Causes of long term listening fatigue? What kind(s) of music are you listening to? If you are listening to music for hours on end at low volumes I suggest that you will not make great gains in overcoming your fatigue by simply making changes to your system, however great or small. I li... | |
| Have you heard the Klipsch RB-75 speaker? I listened to the RB-75's when purchasing speakers a year ago. They seemed to lack the midrange I was looking for. I bought a pair of Paradigm Studio 40 v.3's instead. They have a much clearer mid-range, along with a satisfying higher end and bass... | |

| Speaker cable aging? With regard to your Paradigm studio 40's. I, too, have a pair of studio 40 v.3's. When I saw that Paradigm released the signature series I found a dealer about a hundred miles away, and went to listen to them. I use a Musical Fidelity a3.2 integra... | |
| speaker suggestions- $1200 or so Before I upgraded my stereo to Musical Fidelity amp and cd player I used an older NAD 7175PE receiver, 75W. It is probably similar to your NAD in its sound characteristics. I purchased a pair of Paradigm Studio 40 v.3's. They listed for $1100.00 i... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? I had a pair of ESS amt-1a bookshelf speakers for about 25 years. In October 2003 I replaced them with a pair of Paradigm Studio 40 v.3's. The ESS had plenty of high end and bass. When I had them I thought the high end was clear. The Paradigm's ar... |
