I think the 'house sound' of the PSB is warmer than the Paradigm, so it might be right up your alley. If you decide you want to try some other speakers, I suggest starting with PSB. That's ok and maybe what works best is to just keep the Eosones and forget about 'upgrading'. It also is possible that you simply like the tonal balance of the Eosones better than the Paradigm. Also if the mids / highs sound a little aggressive to your ears, you might want to try different angles of speaker toe-in (also covered in the manual). Did you set up the Paradigms according to the manual? One thing to note, the closer to the back wall and the corners of the room, the more bass output you get. If that checks out, then play around with speaker placement. The first thing I would look at is whether you accidentally wired one speaker out of phase with the other (should be red to red / black to black from speaker to amp). I appreciate anyone who makes it through reading the whole thing. but if I have to go up to $3K speakers or whatever that's cool too, I just need help knowing what to jump up to. and I probably have to go up to REALLY good stuff to beat them out, right? I thought I was at $200 speakers and was going up to $1.2K speakers. I think the Eosones are better than I was giving them credit for. I really don't want to sound like a noob coming in here and dissing a good brand when I'm just being an idiot, but I really don't think I'm doing that. and if that was such a fail, I'm afraid to ever buy anything else!ġ.) Does this sound right to you that these speakers wouldn't hold up to the Eosones?Ģ.) What speakers should I be looking at that will CLEARLY beat out these Eosones? Is it as easy as models higher than xxxxx within Infinity or Polk or whatever?
#EOSONE RSF 1000 MANUAL UPGRADE#
So now I'm SCARED! I thought it would be a slam dunk upgrade going with Paradigm. I have some older Denon 150w RMS per channel AVR. They had 0 lows, but everything else didn't sound great either, but at least it was there. actually, I'd say being flat was the biggest problem.
I was expecting 3x Paradigm woofers to create some kind of wall of sound, but they just didn't. I know I am being honest about even the highs and mids sounding better on the Eosone, but I will admit that the biggest difference was the lows. I had a friend come over who knows nothing and I randomly plugged just one in and he said day and night, Eosone. I tried every type of music and it was all disappointing. so I know I'm driving them hard enough (they're not blown or anything and I'm careful). I kept trying to turn them up, eventually I saw the woofers firing a LONG way out (too much, I pulled it back). There's 3 woofers, and I couldn't get any bass. but once u get out of the really quiet stuff, u can tell how bad they are again.
in fact it kind of did well for things like small footsteps and scratches. It was MUCH less noticable if I was watching a low audio bitrate movie. You can tell the Paradigm is precise in the sounds it makes, but it was an overall terrible experience. would plug the other Eosone back in, and go back to loving the sound. I realize they aren't high end, but come on, shouldn't they still be great? I know age doesn't mean everything, but these Eosone are like 15 years old, come on!Ĭould I be doing something wrong? I unplugged one of my Eosones and tried each of the Paradigms, muting the other channel, and it was day and night difference between them. The speakers punch hard and are loud.īut today I bought some Paradigm Monitor 9 v7 speakers. I think it's an 8" woofer for the lows, and it punches super quick and hard, adds a whole new world of sound for the lows (I run 2.0 only). I saw someone say before they "create a wall of sound" and that's entirely true. I paid $200 for mine off craigslist about 2 years ago, and I see they've gone even cheaper on ebay in the past. but because of the price, I thought I could easily upgrade them to something better. I've been enjoying my Eosone RSF400 speakers for a while.
