There are a pair of Paradigm 7se MkIII speakers for sale locally. The guy is asking $320 CANADIAN for these speakers. Appear to be in good condition cosmetically. Are these speakers worth looking in to? Also, is that a fair asking price? I'm pretty clueless on everything Paradigm.

Yeah, I'm starting to realize that more and more. I demoed a bunch of speakers in the $1000-1500 (Canadian dollars) range not too long ago and none of them came CLOSE to the A400s. They all sounded so thin and small in comparison. The Rega RS3s I tried had nicer highs than the A400s, but hardly...

Thanks for the input! I won't be getting them I don't say. I really don't want to lose bass. I guess I'll look into other speakers or repairing the A-400s.

Does anyone here have any experience with KEF C7 speakers? They seem to be the top of the C line, and I can get a real good deal on a pair. My Boston Acoustics A-400s are starting to give me some troubles (mainly distortion in the mid driver of one of the speakers), so I'm looking for something...

I've used mine to play MP3s and it sounds alright. As a CD player I'd find it too loud (between the system fan and the BR drive). If you want to have traditional RCA outputs, you can get a Playstation 2 accessory called "AV Adapter". All Playstation systems have the same video out connector, so...

I'd say get a new cartridge first and foremost. Then, I'd look into a RCM before getting a new table. As far as I'm concerned, you can have the best table in the world, but dirty records are still going to sound meh.

I've bought albums with the wrong LP inside the sleeve, but never the wrong label.

The funny part about film is - everyone complains about something shot in 60fps! I was in film school for a bit and every time the cameras were set to shoot at 60fps, people would complain that it was "weird", "too smooth" or "looked digital". Heck, most of us settled on 24fps......... I've...

I think CD's are alright, if you've got a good player. I went through a few different players (an old Technics, Cambridge 540A, NAD 525BEE). I finally ended up getting a Rega Apollo. To this day, the Apollo/Saturn are the only CD players I've heard that I think sound really good (though I...

Oh, CED. I remember a friend of mine won an auction for a bunch of horror CEDs (one of them was "I Spit On Your Grave"). We couldn't think of anything grimier than watching "I Spit On Your Grave" on some kind of ridiculous, vinyl video.

Only the highest quality.

My main concern with wood would (hah!) be that it shifts and moves over time. I'm sure a wood tone arm has the potential for nice resonant qualities though.

I've got a Rega P1, and it's a great table. After upgrading the cartridge and platter, it really gives some more expensive TT's I've heard a run for the money.

Tell me about it. The majority of new vinyl I get is pretty lackluster and noise ridden, even after RCM cleaning.

I wouldn't bother for the price he's asking (I think i saw the same listing anyway. Don't worry, i'm in another country :)). In my experience with BA speakers, and everyone I've spoken with, the A-series is pretty much "the" BA speaker. Half the appeal of the big A speakers for me is how easy...

I really want to get one of these to run between my PS3 and 640A integrated. Most likely my next larger audio purchase.

I've got my A400s spaced similarly. They're not near as picky as any other speakers I've used in terms of placement. BA designed them so they can be put flat against a wall (though I keep them around 13" from the back wall. my room is sound proofed so bass isn't too boomy), without as much of...

I don't toe mine in. I've tried it before, but always found they sound better when faced straight ahead.

All the drivers in my A400s are connected like that (+ going next to sticker, - on the other side).

I've used the PS1 as a CD player before, out of curiosity. It sounds pretty good, comparable to what you'd get from a decent changer, but not near as good as the more expensive Rega or Cambridge cd players I've used (but really, what can you expect?). I've been a casual gamer for years now, and...

Yes yes yes, take this as gospel! You need to get the correct angled foams for A-series woofers. Generic foam will attach with some effort, but they'll cause a cut in the low bass and a boost in mid-bass. Really takes away from the "range" of the speaker. I've currently got a pair of...

I've got an iPod 80GB video from around 2-3 years ago. I'll admit, they're very practical and great for travel/being away. That being said, I find the sound quality pretty mediocre. I've got everything ripped lossless, and while it doesn't sound BAD, it's just really boring to listen to...

Most i've spent on an LP was a little over $160 on Michael Yonkers Band - "Microminature Love". Worth it though, I love that album!

I always took the drivers out with the speakers standing, making sure I caught them as they slid down.
