RossVTaylor Posted July 11, 2001 Share Posted July 11, 2001 Hi gang, I'm not not budgetarily able, nor having the patientocity, (how's *that* for making up words for effect!) to buy one of the new RSW-15's. Having a new subwoofer (read SVS) delivered to my door could cause some.... errr... "discussions" right now (subwoofers don't rank up there with backyard landscaping in everyone's eyes). I also don't have the time to make my own sonotube. So, I've been looking around and reading. I am really impressed with the Paradigm PW2200 I finally heard today. Really impressed! But, I'd really like input from anyone who's heard this sub with Heritage speakers. I'd be using it in a fairly small dedicated media/HT room (about 11' wide by 19' long) with a pair of LaScalas up front, Heresy IIs for center and rear music surrounds, and four RS-3s for movie surrounds. I really like the sound of the LaScalas with music, just as they are - usually. But, there are some music sources that need a bit more bottom end. I'm usually a jazz listener, but mix in the odd bit of Latin or New Wave (odd term for 20 year old music, I know - it's scaring me that I'm seeing my old favorites sold on TV "Best of the Oldies" sets). And of course, with movies, I need the subwoofer. Given all that, are there any of you with prior experience or input on this sub/speaker combo? Thanks all, Ross ------------------ "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DillonW Posted July 14, 2001 Share Posted July 14, 2001 Everything I have heard about the PW2200 has been very good. I have LaScalas and a Velodyne CT150 on sub duty. Other postings have rated the PW2200 ahead of the CT150, I was never able to demo the 2200 so I cannot comment on any comparison. As long as the PW2200 is fully adjustable, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a good match with the LaScalas. I was seriously considering it for myself, but had no way to demo it. I hate buying without having seen, touched and played with it in person. I could have bought the PW2200 for $600 plus shipping via online ordering. I ended up buying the CT150 online since I was able to get it delivered for $512. I am currently satisfied with the CT150, but that just may be because I haven't heard any of the "Big Boys" yet. Just as I am still very happy with my LaScalas, never having heard the Khorns. For me the sub has helped enhance music listening, but adds a substantial new dimension to movies. By the way, how do you like sound the RS-3s in combination with your LaScalas? ------------------ Thanks, Bill Dillon Mains: LaScalas Center: KLF C7 Front Effects: None Yet Rears: Chorus IIs Rear Center: None Yet Sub: Velodyne CT150 Receiver: Yamaha RX-V3000 DVD: Sony 560D TV: Toshiba 61" 61H70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RossVTaylor Posted July 16, 2001 Author Share Posted July 16, 2001 Dillon and Seb, I've been out of state, AFK for a few days. Thanks for the replies! Everything I've read about the PW2200 was positive, but I'd not seen any info on it's ability to mesh with Heritage Klipsches. I did go listen to it, and I was darn impressed. So impressed that I decided to enter uncharted waters and buy it. Of course, this was right before I left home so I've not really had a chance to play with it. I'll test it out and report more when I return home on the 23rd. Hasta and thanks, Ross ------------------ "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
