Paradigm Studio 60 v5 somewhat boomy

I'm using a ONKIO 9555.

I've placed them about 8in from the wall, and wow! not only the boominess is dramatically reduced but there also seems to be more overall balance. great!

to be honest even at the dealer I remember of finding the bass a bit to much, wouldn't quite say boomy, but a bit too much for my taste. I read somewhere someone comment that bi-wiring them cured this "boominess".

to be fair it also may depends then the audio files - I'm using a mediocre notebook to a DacMagic via usb, and RCA cables to the amp as the it only has analog ports. my apology

I suspect the floor is the worst culprit here, I'm definitely gonna consider these stands

thanks all for the much needed help

Were these new when you boughþ them? If so, the break in process may be a factor. Based on what I've heard from others, expect about 100 to 200 hours of use to be needed for break in.

Eight inches??? You really need to get them out a bit further from the wall. I had the Studio 60 v2 a while ago. They were very good in the larger living room. But when I moved my system into a smaller dedicated room they overwhelmed the room.

As I recall, your Onkyo has tone controls, right? Turn down the bass a notch and perhaps turn up the treble a notch as well. I would try to move them further out into the room, but I realize that optimum placement is not always possible. That Onkyo is a damn nice little amp for the money, BTW.

"They were very good in the larger living room. But when I moved my system into a smaller dedicated room they overwhelmed the room."

Bingo!

I love them they're fantastic speakers, but too much for my living room. I called the dealer today and he agreed to exchange them.

I'm gonna order the Signature S1 v6 YAY!

I think I did the sensible thing :)
