"I have heard good and bad things about these Halcro SSP and my dealer really recommends it over the other lines he carries like Meridian, Lexicon and Theta."Meridian is the best processor on the market, your dealer like most Meridian dealers prob... | |
| The Search Bartokfan,The real fun starts when you stop being a tourist and build your own equipment. Then the next "upgrade" is a direct reflection of your efforts to educate yourself and application of that knowledge and not the swipe of a credit card.Now I... | |
| Paradigm ADP150's in a 7.1 system The answer is in the manual of your surround processor.What kind of speakers does it show?If it shows dipoles use dipoles, if it shows monopoles well I think you''re getting it by now. | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? "Could part of the problem be putting the center channel on top of the RPTV?"Yes a little, but the main problem is a dramatic spectal balance mismatch between the main speakers and the center, further aggravated by there being no sub. Which I real... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Well that's the kind of answer I expected.Macro.Where the problem comes in is you SAY that the X-speaker has superior phase, dynamics, linear frequency response, etc. All easily measurable attributes. But you don't measure which means you don't re... | |
| kharma 3.2 & sub... Just an FYI on this thread,I am quite certain that all the users with bad results with the sub, tried to splice it on too the 3.2 without cutting the low frequencies to the 3.2. (splicing= trying to get the sub woofer to match the 3.2's without co... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? "But I'm afraid that measurements aren't valued much around here. This is a very subjective and experiential crowd."Yeah actually I know that, its what I call "feeling around in the dark". And my history has been to march through your "experience"... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Macrojack, I hate to bust up your Zen"Plainly, the two of us have different levels of acuity or, at the least, difference points of reference or taste. Neither of us is wrong and neither is an expert."I disagree totally with your comment, because ... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Audiofeel,"but the "phemonenom" is well documented by both manufacturers and listeners."I'm just a noob at this can you show me where a serious audio company has documentation on "breakin", especially as a linear function of usage?Things change ov... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? We're not talking about $$$, were talking about Brown belt with black shoes.If I'm correct the Paradigm is a $900 center channel? Which you should almost be able to swap for a used Silver Screen, it should be a even trade or +/- $100 at the worst.... | |

Good Points CDW,My solution would be get rid of the Paradign Center channel immediately, use phantom mode and pine for a Legacy Silver Screen I center channel.

| Maggie 20.1 - Bi-Amp vs. More power Complete Active;XTA or Lake technology crossover I'd take 75+75+200 on the amplifiersBel Canto or similar 6 channel amplifier will work very very well, reinvent the speaker and in my opinion make it sound excellent.Right now the 20's are iffy if t... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? No problem Greg,As for the dual VC Scanspeaks, never saw anything like them before or after, I bought 6 from Madisound, used 2 in a car stereo system and the 4 in the Manger system.Must have been ordered by a manufacturer and it didn't work out et... | |
| How big should center spkr be to set to "large"? I'm confused, how about everyone else?Small center channel with no sub and full-range LR's = big problem.There is no good answer except work some overtime and get a subwoofer ASAP!Are your left and right speakers Paradigms? If they are not then yo... | |
| Anyone familiar with the Manger driver? Hey Greg,My Manger project utilize 2 dual voice coil Scan speak 8" Kevlar (100watts per driver perside) and twin tower 2x15" JBL woofers (total of 4). Manger and paper allow for an easier passive crossover but the paper is a distortion liability i... |
