    Battle of the Sonys - Part 1

    <font color='#000000'>First of all, it seems I have to correct both of you gents. A 5.1 DD/DTS soundtrack is not composed of any 'mono' channels.  Each channel is discrete containing its own mixed part of the master soundtrack. 6.1 or 7.1, are basically identical, only 7.1 offers two rear amps...

    setting my subs crossover

    <font color='#000000'>Rick; I am also not a fan of setting my main speakers small. &nbsp;I feel if your main speakers are reasonably flat down to about 35Hz, they should be set large. &nbsp;When phased properly with a musical sub, the overall response, although may have a bump around 35Hz, will...

    Receiver settings... Large or Small speakers?

    <font color='#000000'>Joe; If you dont have a defeat on the def tech crossovers, set the frequency to the highest position. &nbsp;This will usually be about 120-150Hz. &nbsp;That should keep you well out of the crossover frequency of your receiver.</font>

    paradigm paradigm?

    <font color='#000000'>I believe the Sony 4ES would be a good match with the Paradigm Speaker Package. &nbsp; In the future, you could always add an external power amp to power the Studio 60's, and use the Sony internal amps to power another room.</font>

    Battle of the Sonys - Part 1

    <font color='#000000'>CT; First off just to clarify, I don't think Steve knew that the HK 5800 is a five channel power amp and not a receiver. &nbsp;That being the case, the 5800 is a very good 5 channel amp and may prove to be more musical and rugged than the 4ES amp section. &nbsp;My best...

    Cable Budget Guidelines

    <font color='#000000'>Thumper; GDS didn't mention silver or Teflon, which is why I addressed my question to him. &nbsp;I know what Jon claims for the materials, and I have read what Rod had to say. &nbsp;GDS explains things very well, and I'd like to understand *why* silver and Teflon make such...

    What is your primary use of your A/V HT System?

    <font color='#000000'>I would like to know what your primary usage is for your A/V HT system. Personally my audio systems emphasize musical performance over home theater movie watching. &nbsp;Although with my recent upgrade into HDTV land, my priorities may become more evenly balanced.</font>

    Cable Budget Guidelines

    <font color='#000000'>Jon; The last link you sent me to your sight makes good sense.  I agree 100% that budget dollars are better spent on room treatments than exotic cables.   http://www.trueaudio.com/post_013.htm However, I feel you generalize too much regarding the importance of good video...

    Cable Budget Guidelines

    <font color='#000000'>Jon; I appreciate your detailed and thorough analysis and the thought you put into your post.  However, your conclusions are loaded with engineering fallacies. First off, if you look at the RLC lumped parameters of 12AWG wire, say &quot;Original Monstercable products...

    paradigm paradigm?

    <font color='#000000'>The Paradigm Studio 40v2 and Studio 60v2 are very similar in design with the exception being in overall cabinet volume and the resultant low end bass extension. I felt that the Studio 40v2 had a slightly better midrange performance and imaged a tad better than the 60v2’s...
