Paradigm Rocks! - Blu-ray Forum

Well I had to post it some where. I switched to an Infinity beta system to a Paradigm system with moniter 9, 470cc, and adp 370 and a ps 1000, all V1.4 what a diference. No more infinity for me.

sounds very nice. was considering them when i purchased my current system. i ended up with b&w instead. i personally liked the sound more. but, i am considering paradigm for my next upgrade.

I wish I had the money for their studio series. Never heard of b&w. I Think alot of the speakers depend on the amp driving them too. I think I am goinng to get an Athiem amp to push the speakers, nice clean and cheap.

there you go.

currently running the 602s, cc6 center, 601 rears with a m&k sub (can't remember the model)

i agree, the amp makes a huge difference. you can have an amp rated at 100 watts but if it aint clean, it will sound terrible. i do like the anthem equipment a lot. i demoed an amp a few months back and enjoyed it, just don't have the money

when B&O made both technically fantastic and fantastic looking components.

I remember a day way back when ... in the mid 70s ... when I went into a sound room out fitted with a top end B&O set. With the music playing and me sitting near the center of the room with my eyes closed I could not locate the speakers. It was a forerunner of the current 7.1 systems (IIRC it was 7.2 or 9.2). The sound was pervasive in the room and the speakers effectively disappeared.

Since that time B&O has decided to make visually pretty systems that are technically marginal. Oh well.

It's comforting to know that several other companies have not let their technical capabilities slip like that.

I have a Phase Linear DRS 250 integrated amplifier with a pair of Infinity RSb speakers for 27 years and I can tell you they sound still phenomenally after all these years.
Cannot comprehend the prices of some of the today's hi-fi components and they still sound like junk?!
Totally agree with opinion on Infinity

Sorry it should read: disagree on Infinity
