I think theres something wrong with the paradigm design thats for sure. maybe you've been one of the lucky ones. I had two of these and they both fizzled out on me. one nearly caught fire.Originally posted by Nic Rhodes
As with most subs (all servo designs?) I think if people have got poor performance from them there is generally something very wrong elsewhere (set up or acoustic / room interaction) and not necessarily with the sub design.

I spoke to alot of RS folk when I was trying to track mine down.
Perhaps this statement says alot.
"Paradigm make quality equipment,most of the problems are to do with the step down transfomer that we fit when they arrive in the UK"
Why not use a external transformer at the power supply?
"Yeah,sounds like a idea"
At least if mine dies I can now get a replacement.
The S15 does have a cheap look about it,for $1500 I would have expected better.
When I first got it home the on/off switch sheared off in my hand,tweezers are now the order of the day.
Give it back to RS to fit another?Not a chance.

If anybody recieves a servo-15 from richer sounds, minus the lead, manual and X-30 controller, its probably my old one.
My first one died after about 3 months, I returned it and recieved a brand new one. This lasted about 4 months. I returned it to Mr Richer, and 10 weeks later it was still there "awaiting a module". I then decided enough was enough, as I didn't want it anway and demanded a refund, which they reluctantly gave me.
Reliability issues aside, I don't think its a great performer. Sure it goes loud and low, and is good value at £499, but I certainly don't think its worth much more. I've been using my trusty old Q50, which sounds great and has never let me down untill my new sub arrives. I've used Velodyne subs (including the HGS-15) before, and found them outstanding performers which is why I've taken advantage of the power buy and ordered an HGS-15 for myself. They certainly put the Servo-15s to shame, which indeed they shoud at around 4 times the price. If you can afford one, its a no-brainer

I have read about upgrading to power cable to a kettle lead?Gotta be worth a try.Is this good enough or would a Russ Andrews lead be better?
