Hi, I have heard both at length & went for the Minx - I found the MASS good but a little harsh & bright & felt the sub was a little boomy. I have Min21's for LCR & Min20's for all surrounds & to me, it sounds better than than the MASS. I wanted more of a dscreet set up & found the MASS to be...

Hi Chewy, Once again, sincere thanks for yout input & advice! Paradigm dealers are quite few & far between - even in London! Most are quite far for me & even then, they do not normally stock which would mean a special order. I doubt if they would allow me a home trial & even then, if it did not...

Hi Chewy, Apologies for the delay in responding & many kind thanks for taking the time to understand my issue! My receiver is an Onkyp TX-NR818 if that helps. Please correct me if I am wrong but the Seismic 110's "Cut-Off Frequency" gives no indication of the actual Frequency Response of the...

Hi, In reply to Chewy's post - thank you & yes, I will be the first to admit that my knowledge & understanding may be limited & I admit that I should have clearly stated that I have basic level undertanding about these things. In my defence, what I posted was information gleaned from a number...

Hi, My problem with Paradigm & their subwoofers is that for such a well renowned speaker company, they simply refuse point blank to ever publish/specify any Frequency Response figures for their subs which I find both incredible & ridiculous in this day & age considering they are considered...

Hi Steve, Very many thanks indeed for the kind reply & help! I am not to savvy on the technical numbers side of things but bear with me!! I just do not understand matching Subwoofers & Satellites by teh numbers!! It is great you were able to compare both the Q7000 & Minx 20 Satellites - I...

Hi All, I know The WHF team has reviewed both these speakers in their respective 5.1 set-ups but I would really welcome any thoughts/opinions on which are better? I plan on possibly using them for the L/C/R duties in a Surround Set up with REL Q200E Subwoofers. I am considering these as they...

Hi All, Was wondering if there have been any comparisons between the MA Apex System & the Paradigm Milenia One? Both look quite similar & the Milenia One System seems to have got the same sort of amazing reviews over the pond as the Apex have done over here! I know someone mentioned about...

Hi Andrew! Did these Pioneer LCD's (KRL Series) actually have any "Kuro" tech in them? I have read that is not possible as "Kuro Technology" is specific only to Plasma & not LCD. On the other hand I have also read that that Pioneer put the same processing as the Kuro Plasmas and developed a...

Hi Claire! Look forward to reading all about what you are able to gather from Toshiba! Claire, is there any chance you can find out at IFA 2010 what has happened to JVC as regards the TV Market? They have introduced no new models in 2010 & I really wonder if they are now still making TV's or...

Clare Newsome:We've been starting our testing of the LED-backlit Philips today - it'll get extensive testing against its Award-winning sibling and others... Hi Claire! Great to hear!! Please can you give a definitive viewpoint in the review as to how the SD & blacks compare to the G9 Kuro's...

Hi Martin, Many thanks indeed - looks like you have done what I have in mind & successfully! I will now look for some in wall type speakers that I can flush fit directly into the cabinets, spray paint the grilles to colour match & get that blended in look I was seeking! Bazzy!

Jonnyhifi: Digitaljunior:At the Manchester Show yesterday, Denon had a demo of an amp that supported a similar configuration and ran a Blu ray with and without the extra height speakers. I must admit the extra hight speakers did really bring something extra to the soundstage - more than...

Hi All, I would like to ask if anyone has tried Dolby Pro-Logic IIz with two extra height effects speakers? I am wondering what sort of difference these two extra channels would make or add to the overall surround sound experience and if there a miniscule, subtle but noticeable, noticeable or...

Hi, Thanks for that & all who have replied! I will try and see - just wanted to make sure! That Q-Acoustic option seems good but at £330 it is pretty steep! Its just that one does not always wish to engage an entire surround sound system all the time like in the mornings when one is getting...
