I think I'm just gonna go with a Paradigm Sub12 in the Studio line. I listened to some Studio 20's today and they were amazing. In fact, instead of the Monitor 9's, I'm going with the SA-35 in-walls.

So I got my SA-35's and ADP190's installed. Next week, getting rid of the CC290 and going with the CC490 and adding a Paradigm Sub12 (still need advice on placement of the sub), and possibly replacing the ADP190's with SA-ADP's. Depends on if I can sell an old (GOOD) Pioneer reciever with the Cerwin Vegas, the CC290 and ADP190's for a decent price. Anyway, pics....

Now looking for hookup advice. I plan on getting a 7 channel amp. Which one? I'm getting a CC690 which has a maximum input power wattage of 210W. Also, need a sub cable, probably 15-20 feet. There are some that are 100 bucks. That sounds a little crazy. Any advice on that?

Don't let the dirt cheap cable prices throw you off. I have purchased many cables from Monoprice - quality is great.

GO-NAD, Thanks for the advice. I actually got an ADcom 7 channel amp, GFA-7807. 300W per channel. What about cables for use from the receiver to the amp? Thanks again for your response.

You can get all the cables you need from Monoprice. :)

OK, I'm almost there. The Adcom amp is too big to fit in my stand so we are building it a seperate shelf. Question on sub inputs. My Sub12 has a L and R. My reciever only has one output, so which one do I plug the line into?

Also, the CC690 has two inputs. Do I need to run two cables or just hook them up to one of the inputs?

Thanks for the help!

Getting there with pics....

I didn't like the spacing on the in walls, and the right one almost went downstairs with the sound, so I had a guy build me some boxes to angle them into the listening area better. Got the CC690 and the 63" plasma just ready for me to enjoy!<p><P>

My bass sounds fantastic. Maybe the difference between the Klipsch and the Paradigm studio sub.

Anyway, got my TV hung. Also, went with an SA-15R with L/R inputs to get the 7.1. Thinking of going Sa-15 in place of the ADp-190s as well. So much work I've done to earn the money for all this. I'm SO happy with my upstairs right now. And thanks to ChiTown2477 for your initial help. I was thinking about the pocketbook, and that went out the window in a hurry. I spent close to 8 grand on everything counting the TV. It's been well worth it.

Review ZumoCast

There are two main areas of Instagram: the photo editing and the social. Editing photos is very simple within the app. Existing photos can be selected from your photo roll (which means they don't necessarily have to be iPhone photos), or you can capture a new image within the app itself. All images are captured or cropped into a square format.

OK, changed a few things and looking for more advice. I'm replacing the SA-15 with an SA-ADP and moving the SA-35s into the ADP-190s position, and replacing the SA-35s up front with SA-LCR-3s. Going to get an amp, well, thinking of 2 amps, XPA-3 by Emotiva. I plan on running fronts and the single SA-ADP on one and the center and two surrounds on the other amp. I should be good then. Still looking for any advice, comments, input, etc.

I'd love to have another sub, but not sure the wife would like it up in the other corner. If I could only figure out a place to kind of center the one I have.
