I nearly shelled out "big bucks" for a B&W home theatre speaker system, then I heard the Paradigm Studio Reference Series (at a B&W dealer) and they blew me away. I purchased Studio 80's, Studio ADP's and a Studio CC center and couldn't be more pleased. Saved lots of money compared with what the B&W system would have cost. Tip: You should get about a 35% discount from retail.
