Surround help (Atoms or Cinema ADPs)??

[Mattlock]

I am putting together the following HT setup (90% movie watching)

My room is 13x23x8.5 (shoe box)

Front: Paradigm Mini-Monitor
Center: Paradigm CC370
Sub: SVS PB-12

Surrounds: Either Cinema ADP or a pair of Atoms. Both are less than $250.

For buget reasons I have to cut something so the surrounds will be it. I would get the ADP-170s but they run $480 and that kills my sub budget.

Question 1: Has anyone used the Cinema ADPs? like/dislike

Queston 2: The atom is a bookshelf speaker and I was curious how they sound for surrounds compared to a Dipolar (ie Cinema ADP)

thanks

I have paradigm monitor 7's with cc370 and I use paradigm titans for surrounds. The sound pretty good to me, although I will probably get some dipoles when i can afford them, but not in any hurry cause not really needed. So if you can I would suggest the titans over the atoms, due to the little bigger driver, and they are only about $30 more than the atoms.
