My corner of heaven - Page 7

Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you for noticing. Like you said, it's not easy taking a living room setting, converting it into an inviting HT room and having everything look presentable.

The Paradigms actually blend quite well with the Logans. Ideally having all ML's is the ultimate way to go, but until I get another pair of Scripts (for L/R height surround use), the Paradigms are doing a good job.

The reason I chose Paradigm, was because I was very familiar with the sound, as my previous HT system was all Paradigm. And the small size and ease of set up of the Mini Monitors made them a sensible choice at the time. But now that I "finally" have the Scripts, I know that at some point soon I need to change the remaining two Paradigms.


Seth

What's most notably different now with the ML Scripts, is the rear channel presence. With the Paradigms the rear effects were always impressive, but with them being placed up higher on the wall the sound at times didn't have that reach out and grab you effect. With the Script panels being located lower and firing directly at the listening area, the rear effects have a bit more wow factor now. Panning effects are very smooth now as well.


Seth

Cohesive, that's a very good word to describe the sound. I'm not knocking the Paradigm's as they are some excellent surround speakers that I've used for many years. But besides the visual symmetry, the sound like you said is just more cohesive now with the ML rear surrounds. At some point in the very near future (6 months or so) I plan on adding another pair of ML Scripts to replace the remaining Paradigm L/R height channels.


Seth

Thank you for the nice compliment on my setup.

Hi Frank,

Sorry for the late reply.

Happy Holidays to you also my friend. Yeah I haven't been around here as much lately, but I plan to spend a bit more time here in the coming year.


Seth

Christmas was great! It was nice to spend time with family. There was so much good food and I ate more that I should have, but heck we only do this thing once a year (well three actually if you count in Thanksgiving and New Years ).

Yeah I have some big plans in store for 2011. A new display, whether it be a 70 inch 3D Plasma (which I hope is announced at CES), or a 3D front projector, is the plan. Also I'm "hoping" to get my AVP upgraded if Denon announces something at CES. If they do then it's a definite for me.

Other than that I have pretty much everything I want.

I do need to post some new pics of my HT room, as it has been completely renovated. Sometime in the coming weeks I'll do that.

So how about you, do you have any big plans for the new year?


Seth

Yeah same here, so many treats just wanting me to eat them. Home made turnovers, apple pies, cherry pies, pumpkin pies, cookies, and a whole lot of other things.

Yeah, a 70 inch plasma would be amazing! Nothing is concrete, but there are rumors that a 70 inch Panasonic Plasma with Kuro technology is in the works. Hopefully something will be announced at CES. And like you you said, here's hoping that Denon mentions something about an upgrade for the AVP.

Yeah some pics of the room will be shared soon.

Yup, it's the last day of 2011 (at least here in our part of the world). For our friends in other part of the world it's already the beginning of a whole new year.

Happy New Year to you mi amigo and a Happy New Year to all!


Seth

Hi Frank,

Yes, some pics of the new look are definitely coming soon.

Enjoy your night (or early morning over there) and have a Happy New Year!! Best wishes to you as well for 2011.


Seth

Unconfirmed word is that Panasonic is working on a 70 inch plasma with Kuro technology. I guess we'll find out at CES.

BTW Happy New Year!!


Seth

Thanks.

That's a good question Frank. Probably a bit too much.

Now that I can definitely see in my HT room!
