    Signature series from Paradigm

    George: Price & sound quality sold us on the S8s. The speakears were a return to a dealer because of a slight blemish on top of one of the cabinets. Paradigm offered a substantial discount for the original owner to keep them. The guy wanted a perfect finish. He ended up getting another set...

    Signature series from Paradigm

    Signature S8s & C5 We've had the C8s & C5, in a 27' x 17' room with acoustical wall treatments, for almost a year now. I cannot compare the speakers to the 803s. Our experiences with the Signature Series are one of content & enjoyment. I describe to others that I "see" & hear the music as if...

    Speakers From lousy to Bose to Atlantic Technology to Paradigm Reference to Paradigm's Signature line, we can there are other speakers, I'm sure, yet we have listened to bi-amped Signature's for some time & think the sound quality is above reproach. Thanks Paradigm!

    Will my setup benefit by adding an Anthem MCA20 or 30?

    MCA 20/50 w/ Studio 100s Yes (a John Lennon Quote, for sure, but answers the post's question) Subjectively, objectively... leave product name behind & let your senses determine audible perception. For me, bi-amping passively, horizontal configuration, has given our family sonic along w/DVD...

    AC Line Amperage Requirement Gene Once again, your input to test & inform the audioholic community is impressive. Thanks. Can you tell us if your testing of the 5805 was conducted with a 20 amp AC line? The reason I ask is that looking on Denon's web site, specifically 5805's tech...

    Tube Traps -- Truth or Load of Crap?

    Thought the same thing, but, after I installed acoustical treatments at first reflection points of main speakers & Bass Traps in the corners of a 27' x 17' room, I've changed my opinion. Now deep bass notes & sound are more distict, clear and coherent.
