New to the forum and wanted to say Hi to everyone, and to say thank you to my father -in-law Doug Lang (a "polkster" around here) for turning me on to this site and for trading me his beloved Onkyo 989 for my somewhat older but beloved Yamaha 2092. It's in good hands Dad....thanks.

    Wow Thanks, everybody...i got way into HT about ten years ago, when DVD was first born. At one point I had nice little investment in four B&W Nautilus 805's w/HTM center with a Yahamha RXV-2092 calling the plays. Then with career, kids and family life I didn't buy a HT magazine for about 6 or 7 years. Still got the career, kids and family but i have a little more time and money now as long as I keep my GAS in check. That's Guitar Acquisition Syndrome. I do have a new purchase planned for next week. Planning on getting a SVS PB10 and moving the Paradigm sub onto other pastures. Namely beefing up my playback setup in my guitar room. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

    Nope not the servo model. I have kind off a big room, with 9'4" ceilings so theres alot space. I have to push the paradigm kinda hard to compensate. Just looking for some more headroom.
