I was at work. Our site had lost one leg of the 3 phase coming in and it cooked a transformer (along with the squirrel that caused it). 50-60 people were in the parking lot waiting for the company to either send us home or give us an update when the power was going to be restored. I will...

I struggled for a long time with brightness with my Ascents. The 2 biggest changes for me were acoustic treatments (and lots of them) and my pre-amp. The acoustic treatments were a major step in the right direction. I thought I was going to kill the magic of my MLs with treatments. It took a...

Did you end up with the Odysseys that were originally for sale in Las Vegas and then the owner moved to Idaho (I think)? Those were a steal if they are. At the time, the owner didn't want to ship. Are you in the same house or did you move? Can't wait for pictures.

My brother and sister-in-law live in Port Credit, which is right next to Mississauga along the water. The family and I go over a visit a couple of times a year. I knew Paradigm was in Mississauga, but didn't realize that it was only 4-5 miles from my bother's place. Next time I'm there...

What's up? Work, work, work, work, kids and getting older. Glad to hear Ken is doing well. It's been a long time since our last get together. My Ascents. Yes, I liked them. I learned a few things about them while I had them. First, got lucky enough to own a Modwright LS100 tube pre-amp...

Chris, I've also been away for quite some time. My Ascents are also gone due to life's ups and downs. I'd like some newish Logan's again too, however, I'm realistically a year or two away provided some can't pass up deal falls in my lap. I still keep in touch with Jim regularly. He moved...

All right another Michigan owner! You live in very nice town. I visited Petoskey twice this past summer.

My current x-over setting is 50hz (Ascents and Rythmik F15HP). Anything much higher than that and sub becomes too localized. My set up has only been done by ear and I'm sure it can be improved. I, unfortunately, have not had any time to so run any REW measurements, but plan to in the near future.

Mcmaster Carr has a lot of double side tape to choose from. I know, not local, but an option. http://www.mcmaster.com/#double-sided-tape/=qcky9a

Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner!

I just stumbled upon this and thought it was pretty cool. Watch the video, different objects/particles are trapped in standing wave nodes and levitated. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2014/01/one-step-closer-to-hover-boards-three-dimensional-mid-air-acoustic-manipulation/

Good luck! As my kids get older and cost more money my spousal negotiation skills (which have deminshed over 16 years of marriage) require maximum effort.

I need to make some time and check them out. I'm sure it will be worth my drive. I just wish I had more disposable income to spend.....

I've always wanted to stop in and check this place out. Unfortunately, I no longer live in the RO area, so it's not so convenient. I've heard nothing but good things about this store. Beyond Maggies, What else are they dealers for?

I did not realize that Paradigm is in Mississauga. I just looked up the address, my brother and sister-in-law live within 6-8 miles of the factory/offices. I visited in November. Had I known then, I might have stopped in to check things out.
