    Anthem MRX700 Speaker Combination

    Most speakers sound good with the Anthem in that the ARC tends to sort out issues.  Not trying to push paradigm on you but they do work well together.  Are you able to ARC your system?  You can still use modern day equipment to ARC.  USB to serial adaptor works but only the keyspan one does.  I...

    High price of local used gear

    I would like to add my 2 cents worth.  As an importer I would like to point our a few things as to why most of our stuff costs quite a bit.  Firstly.  Anything purchased North or to the East will be cheaper as shipping is a lot less.  From America's you pay big time.  When the product lands in...

    Bi Amping

    I am probably going to get bashed here but I say this over and over again.  Why Bi amp?  Unless you are using two different power amps I do not see the point.  I bi amp my signature c3 center however the tweeter and the midrange run off one channel and the bass drivers run off another.  If only...

    In-ceiling Surround Speakers

    https://www.paradigm.com/products-current/type=inceiling/model=ci-pro-p80-r/page=overview This is my model that I recommend for inceiling speakers.  You don't really get a bipolar in ceilings speakers.  I can get angular ones and can get ones with 2 tweeters facing 30 degree angles away from...

    Onkyo Receivers being susceptable to lightning

    The repair guy that we use to sort any of my problems out has a lot of everything in his workshop with blown HDMI.  Yamaha , Denon, and every now and again my stuff also blows HDMI boards.  99% of the customers of these have DSTV.  All I do is just change the HDMI board and the customer is back...

    In-ceiling Surround Speakers

    Do you have a particular budget that you want to work with.?  There are plenty inceilings out there.  Do you want the grill to cover the speaker entirely  or do you want a bezel.

    Paradigm and Anthem Rep South Afirca.

    This was from a review of the MRX 1120 on AV FORUMS.COM There's no doubt that whether you're listening to a 5.1 or a 7.1 soundtrack or taking full advantage of all 11 channels with a 7.2.4 setup, the results will be hugely enjoyable. ARC does an excellent job of removing the negative effects of...

    Music from pc

    I use the Audioquest dragon FLy USB dac.  This also gives me a headphone amp so I can listen to decent sound even with just my laptop.  The dragon fly might not be the best dac out there but with the ability to double up on capabilities, I dont think you could get much better at its price.  HD...

    Paradigm and Anthem Rep South Afirca.

    Okay.  ARC changed quite a bit over the last few years and you can now shape curves, limit equalization and can create 4 custom profiles.  In the new generation receiver (529/720/1120) ARC even provides 6 orders which allows you to customize the slopes more.  In the past only the subwoofers had...

    Car audio advice

    I say usually as I am referring to the amplifier in the link as well.  One has to  turn up the gains a lot more on amplifer with a 1.5 vol input as apposed to 4 volts and this can sometimes cause sound quality to be a bit less.  It doesnt matter how good the SN is of a radio if the amplifier is...

    Car audio advice

    I always say that alphine is the way to go for sound quality but in that been said, Sony/JVC/Kenwood/pioneer/clarion all make good HU.  I think we are very lucky nowadays in that you don't really get bad sounding head units so long as you buy from a trusted brand.  Each person has there...

    Atmos receiver and other questions

    I wouldn't mind throwing my 2 cents worth here.  I have heard 5.1 systems that sound brilliant and have heard systems that sound bad.  I have heard atmos systems that also sounded really good but also heard 11 channel systems that were over kill and sounded terrible as the speakers drew too much...
