I've had the speakers about a month they sound increditable make my older cds sound 100% better.It took 30+ hours to break them in even though Paradigm says no break in period the dealer I bought them from said I should.I brought my cds to play at at the dealer to compare against others like B&W Monitor Audio Martin Logan Dali speakers which were really nice but the Dali's were around $7500 more then twice the price.The only thing I wasn't sure of would they sound as good in my living room as they did in the sound proof room which I heard them in powered by a 1000 watt NAD amp and they do. Now using the Studio 40s v4 which were my fronts as surounds a little over kill but they work quite well.Besides sounding great they look good too ; got them in Rosenut. Only con is they are a little heavy 78 lb. each.
I think the price paid for them $2460.00 plus tax wasn't bad well worth it to me. Waxey
