I'm going to order the Axiom m60's. I almost wish I hadn't listened to the 'digms.Beautiful speaker with a beautiful sound.They're obviously in demand because I can't find any used ones & I can't find any price breaks on them.Maybe next time. :( Thanks for the input fellas. I'll let you...

Yeah, I agree,exercise restraint. I searched around a bit & was disappointed that I can't find the 'digms at the same price,or even close to, that dmoss got his. Found a place in Oregon that carries them but they're the same price as up here. If I could get the studio 60's at,say, $1200 I'd jump...

I,too,had considered the Elite(either 49 or 53,don't remember) & the only negative I saw was a lack of upconversion,which I didn't really give a rats *** about. I fell into a helluva deal on my Yammy or I probably would have ended up with the Pioneer. I heard they had some reliability issues but...

Dmoss, Just got back from demo of Paradigm 60 v3's. WOW! I can only imagine what the 100's must sound like. They had a pr but they were not set up anywhere. I CANNOT fault you whatsoever for your choice & never really meant to. The soundstage that the 60's put out was very,very impressive...

Thanks Dan. I'm on my way to demo some Paradigm's & some others I'm sure.

Thanks Dan. I found an old review (Nov,"02) on the 755 & it got a decent review,a neutral amp sound-wise,maybe a little cool sounding. How do you feel about the B&K now,having owned it for 2 yrs.? Are you satisfied? Frankly,the fact that it may only deliver around 180WPC wouldn't bother me as...

Thanks Griff. I didn't read the disclaimer & didn't realize that they had a return policy. Hopjohn, if I may ask, why are you selling yours?

Besides being in the market for new speakers,I'm also looking at amps. I have been learning quite a bit but have some questions. I've had my eye on a B&K 200.5 at a local store & have been waiting for the chance to deal them below the $2300 they currently have it "on sale" for. In the meantime I...

When your watching these DD encoded movies on your cable box, does your receiver show that it's receiving a DD signal? or does it indicate PCM? I'm assuming you have a digital link between the box & the receiver. A friend of mine has digital cable but wasn't given a box with a digital coax or FO...

So would I!

I can't find any staff reviews on the 100's,only the 40's & 60's in the speaker faceoffs which is,initially,why I was comparing the Pinnacles & Axioms as there is a statement in there that "in regards to value there is not a better sounding speaker than the Pinnacle classic gold". I have gone to...

Dude,where's all THAT coming from? I don't remember denigrating you for anything. Just to be sure,I reread this thread. No. I sure didn't. I merely mentioned the fact that you had done a comparison,thought both speakers were good,but thought the 100's were better & chose to buy those instead.I...

jzac, Thanks for the info. Yes,I've got a Yamaha 3300. I'll be ordering the 60's & 22's shortly. Will be sure to do a review when everything is in place.

I concur with Kode3. B&K makes some nice stuff. What you might want to try is to use the 3803 as your pre-amp & hook an outboard amp (the B&K-7250 comes to mind) to it & see how that sounds. For $2-$3k your problem may be solved. No use in throwing away the performance of the Denon due solely to...

Some people say an amp will sound better after being "broken in". I can't say I've ever experienced that with a solid state receiver or amp,& I've never owned a tube amp. I find it very hard to believe that a 5x80wpc amp(especially a Carver) would ever retail for $1500, then sell for $283. I...

Using the connectors is not that important,as long as you have a solid connection w/o them. They tend to look neater & make disconnection & reconnection simpler. If I may make a suggestion, there is a connector(either pin or banana) that uses a screw-down action to terminate the end of the wire...

I don't know how old your Radio Shack receiver is but you may wish to thoroughly read it's manual to see if it is capable of accepting a SACD/DVD-A player(properly anyway). You may end up having to start with buying a new receiver that has the inputs for the 563A. I agree with Rip. After that...

<font color='#000000'>jzac, &nbsp;It's funny that you mention the Paradigms, for I was about to drive a spell to audition them.Dmoss is opting for the 100 v3's, but basically said the same thing you did about the comparison with the Axioms. That being said,I'm almost certain I'll go &nbsp;with...

<font color='#000000'>This is right up my alley, being the thrifty(cheap) bastard that I am. I've got a Yamaha 3300 (6.1,130wpc) that listed at $1499 but I got the floor model for $599 @ Good Guys.Rather proud of that. Got 4 Klipsch KB 1.1's on closeout for $45 each,which was my system...

<font color='#000000'>I found this at a pawn shop. Anybody had one or heard one? I've heard good things about Velo subs but this is ,of course, an older one.</font>
