paradigm monitor 7,9,11

What is a good price on these three models of Paradigm speakers? the Monitor 7s, 9s, and 11s? I have a local shop carrying them but I want to know a ballpark before I go.

The MB Quart speakers look great but my yamaha 1500 doesn't work with 4 ohm speakers, so I am thinking one of these Paradigm models might fit the bill.

7's- $799
9's- $899

Can't find anything on the 11's. I did find system prices here. (http://www.paradigm.com/Website/SiteParadigmProduct/ParadigmModels/SystemChoice/systems.html)

Your manual gives a rating for dynamic power in the specifications. It states:
Dynamic Power
8ohm/6ohm/4ohm/2ohm 155/195/250/330
I am not sure about this, but I would think this means it can handle a 4ohm load? I am going to start a thread about dynamic power specifications to find out.

I paid $685 CAN. for my 7's v3 a year and a half ago. The 9's would have been $885 and the 11's $1085 plus taxes. I heard the v4's will be out soon or maybe they are already so you may get a really great deal on the monitor line.

in the owner's manual for the rxv1500 it shows two different ways to change the impedance setting and the choices are 6ohm or 8ohm but it doesn't mention 4 ohm anywhere.
I found one site that listed $1100 US for Monitor 11 prices.

Always leave set @ 8ohm!

Last fall I paid $1050 for my 11's (shielded). Of course, they may have adjusted the price because I also bought a Denon 3805 at the same time...

Good luck.
