Snagged some new speakers!!! - Blu-ray Forum

rickdeth · 03-03-2009, 11:45 AM

Yesterday i snagged a couple of Paradigm studio 60 towers in rosenut and a Paradigm studio cc690 and all i can say is that wow , what a big difference between these and my JBL northridge series. Not only that the center is as big as one of the JBL towers. This thing is huge!

I bought these used at a really great price.

Ill post pics later today.

That center is enormous.

...and gorgeous.

Looks like an awesome setup. Mind if I ask what your "really great price" was? Whatever it was, looks like it was worth it!

How do you like the Paradigm bipolar towers?

rickdeth · 03-03-2009, 02:49 PM

i bought the center for 800 and the towers for 1300 .

They're beautiful speakers and yeah the center is bigger then one my JBL northridge towers.

The bipolar speakers are good sounding i havent been able to get them positioned as good as i want them im still messing around with positions. Other then that they do sound good.

Awesome, I am very jealous.

(Off topic) I may have asked you this before, but what settings do you use for your DPS-10? Jazz or Movies for listening mode? Crossover in the receiver and on the dial on the back of the sub? Blinking volume control?

rickdeth · 03-03-2009, 03:09 PM

sorry you did ask me im bad for getting back to things

As for the sub i have it set at 80hz on the diali should try setting it to direct see how it sounds and the phase switch on the back is at 0 .

Normally i have it set on movies all the time i think these setting im getting a good sound out of it. Im not sure what the blinking light volume is at i used the YPAO with my yammy and set the volumes i tweak it hear and there but never sure what its at.

I sure would like to find another one though!

When did Paradigm start making bipolar speakers? Been awhile since I auditioned the Studio's or any Paradigm's since my last purchase.

rickdeth · 03-03-2009, 05:02 PM

I think quit a while ago. I couldn't find much info on them i think they're around 5-7 years old.

Geezer00003 · 03-03-2009, 05:25 PM

Paradigm 60's are not bipolar.

Good thing no one claimed that they were. Look at his pics- he has some bi-polar Paradigm surrounds, ya dink.

Yeha-Noha · 03-03-2009, 06:11 PM

Congrats! Those are exceptionally fine speakers. As for your bipole surrounds, you made another excellent choice. I found that using bipoles (and I suppose for dipoles too) the surrounds will come alive with sound that you didn't know was there or only heard if you were seated in the sweet spot. I wouldn't use anything else for surrounds.

I'm so jealous... the Studio line is awesome. Good Job!

sinister184 · 03-05-2009, 03:13 AM

Paradigm has some of the most gorgeous speakers. Very nice addition.

SDBlu · 03-05-2009, 03:42 AM

I love your new front three! How do they sound?

rickdeth · 03-05-2009, 10:41 PM

They sound pretty damn good, i want to add an amp to power the 3 seperatly , that'll come soon.

Im replacing some JBL e80 northridge series towers and the ec25 northridge center with these paradigms im glad i jumped on these while i did.

Im not sure if want the Emo xpa-3, xpa-5 or Rotel RMB-1075 or RMB-1095.

Still deciding

SammyG · 03-05-2009, 10:43 PM

Go with the Rotel, or look into Parasound.

rickdeth · 03-05-2009, 11:21 PM

Ill look into the parasound thanks for the suggestion
