OK, think I got it sorted...sort of. Always set to the SW, never to both. I checked my DCR and it was set at Max (factory setting and something I didn't understand so I had left it when first setting up the unit). But now I have a little better understanding of it. Also, I originally had...

Unfortunately, I may have to agree about the "box" situation as I can't change the physical placement of the Center. Also, when you say raise the x-over to 100/120, this will occur for the Mains too as these speakers don't have indiviual adjustments?

I think you may be on to something. The Center is away from walls, but it is within my entertainment center-behind a solid mask with a speaker screen cut-out which hopefully allows the sound out. In other words, the Center is in a mostly closed cabinet-bad news, eh? Aside from trying the other...

On page 40 of the manual, section 5, there are instructions on how to manipulate the Center Graphic Equalizer. I was thinking this migh help

On my Yamaha RX-V800 (See page 38 from the manual url above) I have selected all speakers to be Small and LFE Out (frequencies below 90Hz) to be through the subW (only). The subW's levels were calibrated to match the main speakers at 75dB, and its crossover is set to its max-140Hz.

How about 90Hz.

My main speakers shut off at 88Hz and the subW is set to max frequency (140Hz), level set 75dB.

I don't think it is the subW, itself. As a test, perhaps I should reset my speakers to Large and not have the subW on, then listen to see if there is a problem with bass vocal clarity???

Yamaha RX-800 (Manual...http://www2.yamaha.co.jp/manual/pdf/av/english/re/RX-V800kai.pdf). Speakers - All 10 year old Paradigms: SubW...PDR-10, CC...CC170, Mains...Monitor V3, Rears...Cinema V1. Although I have the Avia I, I got lazy and calibrated the speakers just according to the Yammy test...

Didn't go with the sorbothane (although I do agree that it would have been best), instead used the hard felt discs that one puts under chair feet. Stacked a few to about a 1/2 inch and pasted to corners of sub. Appears to now be working just fine.

Don't remember why I took the feet off, and it DOESN'T why, does it? Anyway I'll try to get some rubber feet to screw in...or maybe some packing foam...

A while back I must have taken the sub's (Paradigm PDR-10) feet off and now have it sitting on a folded towel on a tile floor. Recommendations on how I should handle this, please?

Bottom line: Re-calibrated with Sub's LFE set to Max, AVR to sub via LFE, all speakers set to small (sub can't be set to small/large), enjying the sound. thanks, all.

I had the xover set at around 90Hz. I will recalibrate with it set at 150Hz (max). However, I thought that by selecting subwooofer on the Yammy speaker control settings and having the xover set at 88, that this disables the SW's xover control dial??? That is, I thought that with this setting...

The Paradigm PDR-10 is hooked to the Yamaha RXV800 via RCA cable, Sub-out to LFE in. All other speakers are set to small with Subwoofer chosen for the bass out put below 88Hz as I want the SW to handle the bass below 88Hz (as set in the Yammy). When calibrating the bass, I noticed that...

You know, that was my feeling in that the Lava wouldn't be quite as good as the BIC, but needed some referencing.

I've repaired (new foam surround) my 10-year old Paradigm PDR-10 and am now testing it to see if I want to keep it. If I feel that it wasn't doing a good enough job (80% TV/movies and 20% music, on Paradigm Monitor v3 mains and Paradigm Cinema v1 rears, Paradigm CC170 center in a room...

Had a change of mind and successfully did my very first sub repair. A speaker repair shop near me charged $30, but cheapo me, anted up $15 for the foam surround and some glue, and I got the job done. I'm now checking out how well the sub functions in different locations and I'm assessing...

Thanks, Dawg, but I'm about to get a Lava-12 (or maybe a BIC F-12), so I think I'll just dump it.

OK, guys, got the grill off. Took a knife and ran it around the grill's edge and then pried the grill off. The speaker was attached to the grill. Rumble sound probably was due to the disintegration of the rubber/foam that attached the cone to the speaker. Is this worth a DIY? How?
