|
|
I finally got around to updating my Photo Album with some pictures of the speakers I bought 2 years ago. (Sheesh)
I also got a wide angle lens recently (Canon 10-22 EFS) so I had some fun with this too on some of the shots ... 
S8 v1 left/right, C5 center, older Servo-15 sub, and ADP surrounds.
Some of the 'sexy speaker' shots:
I still need to wrap up the front speakers with some velvet-like fabric like I had with my old speakers so as to cut light reflection as light bounce off the side speakers is distracting at times from the viewing seat. I hate to hide them but it does make a difference. It's been 2 years and counting however ... who knows when I'll get around to it.

Whoah... Niiiiiiiice, Kal. Nice shots, nice system!
I have a friend who's a Paradigm nut (he's a digital guy, though... I try not to hold it against him). I'm definitely sending him the link so he can see the speakers and your shots.
Cool!

Very nice. I always like Paradigm even though I never owned a set. Have read alot about them. I know this question probably has a giv'n answer but how do they really sound? I never could find a local dealer to demo them.

I want a Servo-15. I couldn't possibly use it here but hey, when has that ever stoped me?
Nice shots Kal.

I have L.C.R Paradigms, not as sexey as Kal's to be sure, but I did audition a bunch of speakers back when I was buying and the Paradigms coulnd't be beat in that price range.
I have the Mini Monitors L+R and the CC350 centre channel. I had a PDR-10 sub but I think it's dead. That's how much I've used my system in the past 3 years. Never seem to have the time.

Thanks guys!
I'm from Canada so the price was certainly interesting as Paradigm is Canadian built.
I love these things. I was all set to buy Studio series speakers (one step down) but when I did A/B comparisons with the Signature series the Sigs have a much much better tweeter. The studios were really harsh sounding (to me).
Next step is to eventually upgrade the pre/pro and possibly the amps too.
