BTW - I am experiencing something similar with my CC-590 V5. I've been working with Paradigm (who's been A-OK), and they asked me to carefully remove the speakers from the cabinet one at a time and test by connecting the speaker cables playing at very low volume to help determine which is causing the problem.
Can't take it to my dealer because they went out of business, so I'm up the creek here as far as taking it to my dealer. There's another dealer in town, but I doubt they'd diagnose the problem. Plus, I took an out-of-warranty speaker to them once for repair, and it took about 3 months to get it back (all it needed was a new tweeter).
PS - Paradigm's instructions: To test each speaker, you can simply remove the grill, then remove the screws that are holding each speaker in. After that, take the speaker out and disconnect the wires that connect to the crossover. Then you can run your speaker wire onto each speaker to test, just remember to keep it at a low volume as to not damage the other speakers. You should be able to tell which driver is causing the problem from there! Let me know if you have any questions

Two year old thread! Whats up? Are y'all really that bored???   Sorry your dealer closed up, my center channel at the time was not the CC 690 but another large Paradigm center, can't remember at the moment. My dealer took care of it in no time. Here it is, it was a midrange, replaced at no charge, ive sold it since then. Really good sounding center |

Hi all, my Paradigm Monoter cc-390 v6 sound muddy sometimes. Especially during speech. Other times not so much. The clarity in the beginning of Transformers DS of the Moon, the oping dialog isn't that clear. Is it my speaker or is this what you have heard? Can my center be underpowered? Or is it just that poor of a speaker? most of the time it's ok and shows no problem, I'm thinking the opening dialog is difficult for any speaker but I'm not sure. im running an XPA-5 to it and the surround speakers and the L/R are powered by XPR-1s but this shouldn't matter, should it? Should I be feeding it 250, 300, 500, 1000 watts? Do I need to upgrade this speaker? The Studio cc-690 is a lot of $$$$$ but if that's the problem!,,,,,,,,,, any suggestions on a fix or something I've overlooked. Thanks for looking. Peace, Nick Someone wrote a piece about muddy dialogues. www.thedebuguy.com/blog/zkje5z0tjqj4ali1j42xfew05abk8w |

Check all the drivers in the center and play some high frequency music material through it in a music processing mode. If the center is out of phase with the mains that could also play a role. A dozen things could account for the issue but without seeing, probably I would start there. Bill |

That was a very long time ago, I’ve since sold that speaker and purchased the CC-690 which I’m still thrilled I did. Welcome to the lounge. Lots of Fantabulous folks here. If I can ever be of serves just let me know. Peace! |
