DwK Posted June 9, 2001 Author Share Posted June 9, 2001 What do I think? I think Paradigms are very good speakers. I think they are quite comparable to Klipsch. I would take the Paradigm Cinema over the Quintets any day. If I had to choose between the Monitor-9's or 7's and the RF-3's I would take the Monitors. I am not a big fan of the current refrence speakers. I like the good old Heritage speakers. I gotta have the Hi and Mid horns. but what does this meen : 2-driver, 2-way bass reflex. Quasi- 3rd order resistive port ? There is clearly more than 2 drivers.. there is 5. How is that only 2 way? And what the hell is a Quasi- 3rd order resistive port? ------------------ K6-2 450 SB Live Value ( not 5.1) Klipsch Pro Media v2 400 ( soon to be 4.1 ) 2 Fisher STV-873's on front channel 2 Fisher surrounds on rear channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Garrison Posted June 11, 2001 Share Posted June 11, 2001 The "two driver" part is because they consider this (I assume you're talking about the Monitor 90P) to be a small, two way speaker with: (1) a 25mm (1") PTD pure-titanium dome and former, ferro-fluid damped cooled tweeter, and (2) a 165mm (6-1/2") diecast chassis, ICP injection - moulded co-polymer poly - propylene cone, Apical former ferro-fluid damped cooled midrange / woofer. This two way speaker happens to be sitting on top of (3) a dedicated subwoofer comprized of three 210mm (8") with diecast chassis, RCR mineral-filled polypropylene cones, Apical formers. The reference to the "Quasi 3rd order resistive port" is their way of saying that they have engineered the system so that the combination of the natural acoustic properties of the drivers and the ports, combined with their electronic crossover, results in something that has the same basic rate per octave rolloff that a third order crossover would have, but it has been shaped to better control the out of band behaviour. I think. Ray "Huh? What?" Garrison ------------------ Music is art Audio is engineering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
