Paradigm Studio 100's, Studio CC-470, and a pair of Studio ADP-470's all V3 and all for $1700 . Not a bad deal. I will have to do a direct comparison between the 100's v2 ans v3 and decide what pair i will keep and what pair will have to go as they made a major change between these two versions, 2 larger woofers vs 3 smaller on the v3. Anyone have any experiences with these two versions? (I'm talking 100's only)

That's a steal at those prices! I look forward to hearing from you on your experience with these.

Anyone have any experiences with these two versions? (I'm talking 100's only) Excellent deal Ron! * The 100s on these two versions (v2 & v3), like you just said, adds one more driver to the v3. It's a personal choice as to which ones to keep, but here's my take on this: * The v2 has a bit lower bass extension (but not by that much, about 3 Hz). * The v2 are much heavier (240 pounds vs 162 pounds/pair). * The v3 has more cubic inches cone surface displacement (196 cubic inch vs 170" cubic). * The v3, and this is where in my book has one advantage, is 8.25" wide compared to 10.25" wide for the v2. Helps for wider dispersion and less reflections from the outside enclosure itself. - But as you well know, Paradigm speakers are designed to have their grilles on. * Also, the v3 has slightly upgraded drivers. *** If it was me, I'd keep the latest version, the v3. ~ And as you well know, both versions demand a lot of RMS watts to make them sing up to their full potential (did I say XPA-1 monoblocks?). ...Again, excellent deal!

Thanks for the info Bob! I think I'm leaning more towards the v3s, but want to just do a quick comparsion because I absolutely Loved the bass from the v2s. I like that even though the v2s are about the same height and depth, the 2 inches less on the width makes the v3s much less bulky looking and much more appealing to the eye. Is it ok to call you Bob? That's your name...correct?? ;D If I'm wrong, Sorry bout that.

Trying some Apple mods in the man cave- I've had an AppleTV for 3 weeks now and really like it. It doesn't necessarily do everything I'd like and yes music streamed through iTunes does suffer a bit, but it works well and efficiently for my needs. I particularly enjoy the reduced power consumption rate when streaming NetFlix content as compared to the power draw on my XBox. Eventually I plan to drop my cable TV service and maintain only broadband in concert with the AppleTV and perhaps a Roku, if necessary, for other purposes.

Well I picked up a few toys today myself for the den/kids game room. A Mitsubishi HC4000 PJ(Im not a big fan of DLP's but I saw one earlier in the week and was more than impressed with it)with a TE84HC2 high contrast tensioned electric screen and a Sanus VMPR1 ceiling mount. Steal of a deal too at $1650 shipped for the entire package. Also grabbed another set of Magnepan MMGW's and an MMGC direct from Magnepan so we can now have a small HT system where the kids play most of the time. Should keep em out of my room now. Problem is, they may have problems keeping me out of theirs.

Yes Ron, Bob's my name and it is perfectly acceptable to call me by my real name. {French people call me Robert ('Rowbear'), like Hemster just mentioned above.}

I joined the new car head unit club myself two weeks ago with this: I've been a die hard Pioneer fan for quite a few years but I couldn't get excited over their latest offerings. I have to say that this new JVC I got is a very nice radio. It's really user friendly and has a very clean sound to it. My favorite part is the USB port which allows me to have a few sticks of memory instead of large binders of CDs.

I just ordered my set of JTR single 8's to try out and see if I can get away with them a full surrounds. I also finished my Mal-x sub boxes and will be giving them the bed liner treatment tomorrow, so I can have them up and running on Sat! 8 x 18's should be wonderful in the HT The best part is pretty soon, there will be another 4 x 18's subs going in I figure 12 is better than 8 every day of the week lol

I hooked the Apple TV up and it is a pretty neat little gadget. Not perfect, but the picture quality is very good and I can stream iTunes crap to the TV. Real small little black box and only costs $99. Includes nice remote: Also finally received my Claysmith camera case from South Korea. Pretty decent quality and is actually made of leather (or maybe poodle):
