I just ordered my 950. I am running Paradigm Studio 60's, CC, 20's and Servo-15 sub. I am using the Outlaw 750 amp. How do you think it will sound. Just running 5.1 for now. Will the speakers sound alright?

How do you think it will sound

Grrrreat ……seriously I think you’ll be very pleased.

Not familiar with your speakers but don't sweat the 5.1. To me it’s like the difference between (quality of electronics parts used by various manuf. taken into account).
Composite to S-V ( a larger improvement)
and S-V to Component. (less drama to the improvement yet DOES make a noted difference)

Or like putting a progressive DVD player on largish display (practically required) or adding one to a smaller display (not so noticeable improvement).

I feel the speaker (count) is not as enormous an improvement to your SS as it is when you revamp.an old PL receiver and upgrade to something like the 950. I just personally perceive it as a smaller net gain when running 6.1 or 7.1 (over 5.1).

I have however a VERY small space where speaker distance is too tight (overlap) . I suspect someone with a cavern for a HT room , would realize a greater gain from 6.1 or 7.1. (just more seamless surround).
The 6th and 7th do add to enjoyment, - but this can also be recording (material) dependent.

By the way Welcome to Outlaw!

I think your setup will sound fine. I can speak for Paradigm speakers and the Outlaw 750. I have Ref.20's all the way around with the Studio CC along with Mini Monitors for the surround back speakers and it sounds really nice. I don't have the Servo 15 but I have heard it is nice. I have an SVS sub. Congrats. You should enjoy the 950.

I don't have Paradigms, but have heard various models over recent years. You are in for a treat! Enjoy!

That's extremely similar to my setup -- 950, 750, Studio 60's, CC, and ADP's (3 of them, one driven by an old Parasound amp), and an SVS 25-31PCi sub. It's very nice...

I'm with Dale on this one. "You're in for a treat. I'm running a Studio CC, 2 Studio 40s, 4 Studio 20s, and a PW 2200 sub with the 950/770 combo and believe me when I say, "you'll be quite pleased with your 950 addition".

What more can I say? Maybe "Awesome!"

Thanks for the input everyone. I am picking up the 950 from the shipping office this evening. I am so hyped up. I will be a busy Home Theater camper tonight.
