What would be a good Amp/Processor for the following choices?
1. Paradigm Studio 60, Studio CC-570, Studio Surround ADP-470, Seismic 12" Sub
2. Definitive Technologies Mythos 1, Mythos Center, Mythos Gems, 10" Supercube Sub
3. B&W 704, B&W HTM7, B&W DS7, ASW 700 10" sub
In the case of Paradigm I might substitute Studio 60 with either Studio 100 or Signature 2. |

There are plenty of good amp/pros for those speakers. What is your budget?
Budget unseen I would like to suggest the Outlaw Audio 990/7125 combo. |

I would point you to the Outlaw Audio 990/7700 combo. It will surely drive any of the speaker combination you have lined up.

How about the Rotel RSP-1068 and RMB-1095 pair. It would cost about a thousand more than the Outlaw Audio 990/7700 pair.
For the same price there is also the Anthem Statement A5/AVM30.
I can't find anyone in my area (Allentown, PA)that carries Outlaw gear. |

kamran, you have the best advise from Berny, and you need not spend extra$$.
Outlaw power is pure and powerful.
That combo will drive any possible(ok nearly), combo, but the Paradigm looks interesting.
Except move up to the 100's.
You would have so much power, friendly down to low impedance. I think the 100's dip to 2 .9 ohms( i think), and the outlaws are industrial strength.
Go big man, big(ain't my money, right?)
If I started again, I might do that myself. |

Nuck, You mean the 990/7500 combo and not 5 of 7500. Right?
I posted similar question in the HomeTheater forum and Shane RM said the following, "If you want the most accurate and dynamic, go with the B&Ws". However, I saw more people praising Paradigm over B&W.
I am a newbie so I won't be able to tell slight difference in sound from different speakers and have to rely on the reviews and feedback from forums like this.
Just one more question, on the Paradigm would it be advisable to switch the Studio 60 with Studio 100 or Signature S2.
Berny and Nuck thanks for your feedback. |
