Awesome Paradigm home theater speakers with 5.1 channels. Includes: --Studio 20v3 front speakers (pair) --Studio CC-470v3 center channel speaker (single) --ADP 470v3 rear surround speakers (pair) --Reference Seismic-12 powered subwooferBought these new from authorized Paradigm dealer in 2006 but only used sparingly as several months later we moved to another home that didn't have room for a home theater. There are a lot of reviews of these speakers out there, and almost uniformly positive. Bob Reina in Stereophile said "the finest speaker under $1000 I have heard". Other reviews have been similarly glowing, including: http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_12_2/paradigm-reference-20-470-speakers-5-2005.html When I first set up the HT and compared this system to my then-2 channel audio system, which included Magneplanar 3.6 speakers, Bryston 7B-ST monoblocks, and Convergent Audio Technology preamp I was shocked how close the Paradigm/B&K AVR507 receiver (see separate ad) came to my reference system. While they sounded a bit different, I wouldn't say one was better than the other depending upon the music one was listening to. The asking price probably seems too low to be true, so there must be something wrong with them. Nope, I just have way too much audio equipment and my wife REALLY wants these out of the house. Additional pictures available upon request. I haven't sold any items on the Asylum before, but check out my feedback on Audiogon and buy with confidence.
