Paradigm Phantom v.4

[Fowl]

Hello Guys,

I recently purchased the above paid of floor standing speakers from a paradigm dealer that was having a sale. I moved my titans to the rear as my back surround.

However since I got the phantoms it seems that I have lost the enveloping sound that my titans gave me. To me they just does not sound as good.

So i tried searching the net to verify the sensitivity of the phantoms but cant find it. It was not listed in the book I got with them.

Could anyone direct me to where I can get this info.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, but I dont think that is right. My speakers are floor standing which is about 36 inches high, 12 inches deep and 7 3/4 inches wide.

Please help if you can.

Thanks

Sorry I didn't even see the dimensions. Those must have been for the bookshelf speakers.

Yep that is it Where did you find that information? Please post the link. I need more info. I think my must be the one with the 88db sensitivity. What do you think is that good, bad or average?

Thanks

88db isn't that bad, but they do like power. They will make a receiver work a little harder during intense scenes, or higher volume levels.

Can you read Korean?

LPA-1 or Behringer A500

The reason why I wanted to get inormation on my speakers it that I am thinking of adding one of the above amplifiers to it to see if I will get back the head room that the titans had. Or perhaps better them.

What are your thoughts?

Behringer A500

Or I would wait for this

After reading many of the posts here, I realize that if I use my 7001 or my current Receiver 6400, and free up the load on the receiver by using an external amp for the mains, the receiver should be able to handle the rest of the channels. So I am not very anxious in getting a 5 channel amp unless I have to. A good stereo one should do, However any other good stereo ones that you can suggest to me will be highly appreciated. And again no hard feelings on from my previous post with the question to Seth=L

For $200 bucks I would get the Behringer A500.
