    sub upgrade?

    Thankyou all for the replies. I seem to be slightly confused with the whole calibration thing now, I've calibrated AV amps but never subs as I always presumed the amp would do the work for you. (or most of it) The Paradigms subs have an option where you can buy a calibration mic, this again...

    sub upgrade?

    Hi, I'm looking at changing my sub to if possible improve the sound quality of my system. I've not really had chance to listen to a lot of subs so I'd like some advice on the subject, and if it will make much difference at all. I'd like to change to a B&W sub to match the rest of the front...

    Pioneer LX5090 flashing blue light of doom!

    My Pioneer Kuro seems to have developed a fault, looked through the manual and it seems an Internal protective circuit has been activated, all I did was turn it on to stanby and then turn it back on again, now I have the Blue Stanby LED blink 8 times, pauses then blinks another 8 times, no...

    My Pioneer Kuro has a sticky orange pixel issue.

    Hello all, For the past 2 weeks I've noticed an orange pixel on my screen that seems to be blinking, on some programmes its clearly visible, for instance, if the sky guide is on i can see the orange pixel from my viewing distance of 2.9m. I emailed Pioneer who responded with this answer: Dear...

    Pioneer VSX-LX55 - sounds a bit naff

    hi Stonehound, Has the MCACC set your speakers to large? Try setting them to small to give your sub more of the LFE, that's helped me in the past. I personally like the detail in the sound from Pioneer amps, my dad's kit runs off a Denon amp and when he's listening to my set up he always...

    BDP-LX55 Crashing All the Time!!

    I totally agree, I watched the new version of The Thing on Blu-ray and the lip sync was shocking, the night after watched Hugo and it wasnt so bad. I'm running mine off a Pioneer LX-72. I previously owned a Pioneer Bdp 51-fd and there wasn't a hint of lip sync issues. I'm hoping Pioneer are...

    B&W M1 2012 left and right channel upgrade?

    I would really like to keep the CM Centre, its a fantastic looking speaker which fits very well in my set up, so as I've no room or budget for bookshelf or floorstanders I was thinking of using an in-ceiling speaker such as B&W CCM65, I've not yet heard these and have no idea if they would...

    Thanks for the suggestion but The PM1's are well over my budget!

    B&W M1 2012 left and right channel upgrade?

    The CM speakers would be the ideal choice to match the centre but I'm short for space, I've haven't got the room for bookshelf or floorstanders next to my BDI unit. I'm hoping the M1's being B&W would have a tonal match.
