Pradigm speakers with no reciever
|
New member Username: Joe_contDavis, CA Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-10 | I just recieved two Pradigm 3se speakers from my friend (he just got a Bose system), and i have no wires and no receiver for them. I am somewhat ignorant with home audio systems and was wondering - what receiver should i get? what wires? basically - how do i get the two speakers to work with my tv? |

Gold Member Username: GavdawgAlbany, New York Post Number: 1448 Registered: Nov-06 | I have yet to understand how so many people can think the acoustimass speakers sound good. When a double blind is done, they usually lose to other brands, even to other lifestyle products. |

Mostly it is the name and fabulous marketing and maybe, just maybe, because they are so different sounding and again, maybe just maybe, that would be the reason most of us dislike them so much. |

"Perhaps you should read this prior to asking too much about Paradigm's!!! https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/623105.html" The Studio 100's appear to be an anomaly for Paradigm in that they are the only speaker currently in the line with such strenuous demands on amplification. For the most part Paradigms as a line are not too difficult for even a decent receiver though they do appreciate better amplification when it is provided. Is this the speaker you have? http://www.paradigm.com/en/paradigm/speaker_only-specification-88-1-2-31.paradig m You really have to appreciate a speaker company that states their impedance as "compatible with 8 Ohms". WTF does that mean?! Fairly high sensitivity though - once again they prefer to play games with numbers. How much cash you got, JC? . |

New member Username: Joe_contDavis, CA Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-10 | I will try to answer ya'll together. My plans: for now, just these two speakers - but potentially, yeah - surround sound hopefully. Jan Vigne - those are not the speakers i have, mine are somewhat older - wanna say maybe 5 years old? not sure....all they have is the model number 3se on the back, I dont have any manual or anyhting for them, so sorry for my lack of info on them.... And thanks for the link, i will be reading that message board immediately |
