Mirage HT configuration
December 26, 2007
To Roger Kanno,
I just read your review of
the Mirage system, where you mentioned the possibility of using the OMD-5 as front
speaker. I was wondering about your thoughts on using four OMD-5s, one OMD-C1 and two
Prestige S10s. That combination would cost $1000 less than the review system and offer
good low-frequency resolution as well as the ability to disappear by being attached to the
wall.

Although I did not try this configuration, I would not
hesitate in doing so because the OMD-5s sounded so good. I would even go so far as
suggesting that five OMD-5s along with one or more Prestige S10 subs (depending on the
size of your room) could save you even more money. Using three OMD-5s across the front
might even be more coherent and sound better than using an OMD-C1 as the center-channel….Roger

Paradigm Signature v.2 review?
December 20, 2007
To Doug Schneider,
Great
review of the Paradigm Signature S1 v.2 on SoundStage! When is the full
theater review coming? Also, what sub do you plan to use?
Thom Randall
Glad you enjoyed that review -- the S1 v.2 is a great
little speaker. As for the full home-theater, I plan to have it done for early in the
spring. In terms of the sub, however, I haven't decided....Doug Schneider
JVC projectors
December 5, 2007
To Wes Marshall,
Thanks for your review and
insight into the JVC HD1. I would truly appreciate your perception of the JVC RS2. I
think that a comparison article would truly interest many readers.
Tim Comolli
The main difference is in the specified contrast ratio,
which went from 15,000:1 on the HD1 to 30,000:1 on the RS2. I’ll have to get a
side-by-side demo before I can tell you whether that’s noticeable. 15000:1 without an
auto-iris is pretty spectacular.
I bought the HD1….Wes Marshall |
