paradigm phantom vs boston acoustic cs 226

[rayneman725]

Hello all

I recently posted that I was looking for some new floor standing speakers and nice people on this site gave me some recommendations on some speakers, but for the money I keep coming back to these two. Does any know anything about these two brands or does any one have them? I would love to have a review on them or any others under 1000 that have amazing sound for HT and acoustic music I will be running them off of a onkyo 706 with boston acoustic mcs 130 surrounds. thanks fo any help.

Ive heard the Boston 226 towers very recently at my local Frys Electronics & thought they sounded great! I was just able to audition them for music & not HT use but was impressed & liked the sound, better sounding than some more costly towers ive listened to lately!

thanks again ares, I actually called Boston Acoustic Factory and talked to one of the techs. He told me for the size of the room the 226 is the bet speaker for my setup, the RS an VR speakers that they carry are supposed to be awsoem, but they are ment for rooms bigger then 20X20 and thats way bigger then my room. But thanks again, I think for my next house I will look into this Paradigm series thought I found a lot of good stuf on them.

Oh yeah I have the PS3 to and thats the other reason I got so addicted to this stuff that machine makes all of this worth it.
