Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
Do you mean the closer you are to the wall the less bass node/hump you will get?How far should they be from the rear wall?Thanks

Sorry one more thing - the Vienna tests (the charts of frequency response) seem to suggest a mid-range dip, I think its termed a "suck-out". Anyone know the implications and why its designed like this? Is it to get a more recessed mid-range?

Is the VA midrange recessed and quite laid back? Is it a dynamic speaker or flat?Thanks

In respect of the magazine mentioned earlier in the thread: VA came out on top (of the 3 mentioned in the thread topic) in respect of midrange, soundstage and listening page...I am curious to know your thoughts on the VA midrange compared to the S... 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
GuidocoronaI checked the amp specs - damping factor is >200. Would you say this is low or high? Is the higher the factor the cleaner the bass? 
Vienna Mozart Grand or Beethoven Baby Grand
GuidocoronaHow can you tell what the damping factor is? Is that the wattage at 2ohms?The original Mozart non-Grand had a minimum impedance of about 3.5ohms measured. Not sure what the Grand version's equivalent number?Also does anyone out there kn... 
Anybody heard the Quad 21L or 21L2?
How many Watts are you running through them?There is a review in last month's Hifi World - they were awarded 5 stars in the group test, only negative issue was they recommend a low couch for the tweeter to be at ear level. Measured sensitivity was... 
New PMC i series?
I have been struggling with the same issue with the OB1 vs OB1i. The general concensus I am getting from internet forums and emailing stores is that it is a noticable improvement. However I suppose it also gets down to how good your upstream equip...

Have you compared the new to the old model? The new one would cost me about $1500 more 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
BlackflyDid you try the S6 V2 as well (the S8 is out of my budget). If yes, how did they compare, especially on midrange performance?Thanks 
Paradigm vs Dali vs PMC
MumblesDo you have the Mark I or Mark II helicon 400's?Do you find midbass bloom and chestiness in vocals as per some reviews I have read?What size room do you use it in?Thanks 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
I thought the 20/20 did not have the bass adjustment on the 3rs switch?see page 17 of thishttp://legacyaudio.com/manuals/focus.pdfThe Signature 3 Legacy does have the 3rd switch to control the bass - is this the one you have?http://www.paxallen.co... 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
SthomasWhere you you rate the Paradigm Sig V2 out of 10 on musicality compared to the Legacy?I did manage to hear the Legacy HD Special Edition today - sound was out of this world, but where I live they are quite expensive.Thanks 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
Deaf_iI have listened to the Legacy Signatures but they are way too big and its an old model and does not compare to the Legacy Focs.Did you hear the Legacy Focus? They are very good but very expensive here in Australia.Do you recall what Focals y... 
Paradigm Signature S8 V2 review
Deaf_iI have considered the S4 V2 as one of my options. Do they sound like a bookshelf or more like a small floorstander? For music how do they do without a sub?Also what did you compare them to, and how do you find the tweeter?thanks
