Well it looks very promising. When will the normal orders be filled? Any idea?

I'll have to decide if I want to sell the Yamaha 3900 or stick with it. The 3900 is one nice unit and the SQ is quite nice. Hmmmmm...

honestly the 3900 is a great unit. If you want to upgrade, wait for the XMC-1

Thanks again Porkins.

Sounds like a plan.

The 1v versus 7v pre-outs: much of a difference? I haven't heard any anomolies or clipping with the 3900.

It may not mean much because of volume discrepancies from situation to situation, but the loudest (maximum is with Iron Man) I ever play the system would be at -6 and nothing on the independent channels (i.e. L C R ...) after YPAO is hotter than +2.5 (out of 10).

still lovin my xpa 5. man i watched star trek last night and my sister and her boyfriend were over to watch it and they were floored. got a 2 sub system hooked up now as well which made the room shake. her boyfriend was ready to upgrade after he saw and heard my setup. that amp makes a hug difference and i mean huge. he was saying WOW your speakers are very clean and clear sounding, they sound precise. and i said EMO baby!!!

also the PSB speakers and 2 subs add alot as well.

anyways just thought i would share. those of you waiting for your xpa 5, be patient cause it is certainly worth the wait

What's the other sub?

ZIPPO · 01-10-2010, 09:57 PM

Nevermind, I saw it in your gallery pics. CONGRATS!
How'd you rate it compared to your Cambridge Sounds Sub?

From your statement from the Paradigm Sub thread, I guess you like it better than your Cambridge Sub.

ya i am lovin the paradigm sub, massive bass with it. i tweaked it alot today, but still think i need a bit more tweaking. got interupted by my kids, so i had to stop and have some play time with them

you know i watched star trek last night and it rocked with 2 subs, i loved it and i think i will just keep my cambridge. who says i need matching subs?? nay thats just me cause i am anal, i like things to match up. i was thinking i would have to match the paradigm, but i dont.

they are both 10" subs, the cambridge has a 10" powered and 10" passive woofer (one on each side). the paradigm has a 10" powered woofer at the bottom and 2 10" passive woofers on each side. i tell you that paradigm is no slouch, it really cracks out the bass at 1500 wts and the cambridge is 1000 wts

wholly bass watts!!!
