To Hans Wetzel,
I just found your review of the seemingly excellent Paradigm Millenia CT. Seems like just what I need. I recently borrowed a Yamaha YSP-2200 and was amazed by how poor it was. I preferred the sound quality of my new Pansonic 65ST50 plasma television on its own. The YSP sub was barely detectable and not better than the set's own bass and, even more troubling, the YSP had a disturbing amount of time lag -- the sound arrived after the picture. I fiddled to no end and quickly returned it to my local dealer thankful for the opportunity to have tried it before I bought it.
My key question to you is whether you noticed any lag in the sound arrival? Also, did you try the optical input (how I have to connect), and if so did it work well?
The nearest Paradigm dealer with stock is likely 1000 kilometers away from here, so I may have to buy from Apple or such.
Thanks,
Derrick
I can't comment on the Yamaha set, but the Paradigms are excellent. The sub is surprisingly tuneful, while the satellites are just terrific. I used the optical input throughout my review period and did not experience a lag issue, or issues of any kind really. It is worth noting that it does take a few seconds for the system to start playing once a signal is fed to the control box. But, again, there is no lag between the audio and video once everything is playing. For a system to partner your television, which is also how I am now using it, I think you'll be impressed by the Paradigm's functionality and performance. . . . Hans Wetzel
