I'm in the process of putting together a Paradigm based set.
- Studio 40 V3 (Mains)
- CC570 (Center)
- ADP 470
I've read some pretty good reviews about the Seismic-12, but for $1,700 (or even 15% less) that little sucker is expensive! I wanted to get your thoughts on whether this sub is really worth the money. I really like the compact size and its supposed to get be a great sub....for its size. SVS supposedly has subs that are nearly as good (or even better) for a lot less $s.
With regards to amplification, I was looking at either the Denons (3805, or maybe the upcoming 3806) and the Pioneer Elites. That being said, I must admit that I have been very intrigued by the NAD T773. I even read somewhere that someone switched from the a Pioneer Elite (think its was the 56 model) to the T773. I've read that the NAD receiver sounds great with the Paradigm studios and it very musical as well. Only downside is that it doesn't have HDMI and auto setup (not 100% on the auto setup). Any thoughts on this receiver would be really appreciated.
This brings me to my last....dumb query. Can anyone verbalize for me what folks mean when they say a speaker sounds "warm". I can imagine what a "bright" sounding speaker would be - probably sharp and somewhat piercing - but I really can seem to figure out what a "warm" sounding setup is. Sorry if this is silly question.
Btw, I do realize this is the "Speakers" section of the forum, but I really didn't feel like splitting by query into 3 different sub forums. Moderators, I hope you understand.
Thanks in advance everyone.
