Wow...that's an awesome deal.
O.k., well I just found an unbelieveable HT store and close to me that I never new existed. I auditioned four speakers.
1. PSB image T-45
2. PSB image T-55
3. Energy C300
4. Energy C500
The PSB , to me, is like a polk on steroids. Brilliant sound but a little harsh.(not near as bad as polk) The Energy C500's are the ones I like best. Including the Paradigms.
Wonder how the Swans' you linked sound comparatively? They are only $20 less than what my local dealer can do the C500's for and he's a 15 minute drive away if any problems should ever arrise. He also extends Energy's three year manuf. warranty to lifetime(1 owner).
