Do the little shops usually let you return audio equipment?

You mean you're gonna buy them and then return them if you don't like them, or you're gonna get a in-home trial? Most mom and pops i've been to will let you take them home for a while without having to buy them.

I dont mind paying first then just returning them but I know where I live the guy has to order speakers then I get them.I dont want him to be like sales are final because there special order,I better call him and ask.

as long as you can return them for free then i'd say go for it, it should help you decide which ones are better for you

Your plan is sound, no doubts there; but you can probably save yourself some trouble and skip the Klipsch... I've never understood the widespread fondness for speakers that bright.

I'm with MJ, I never got into the Klipsch speakers, but if you're doin your own in-home trial with both, then who knows... Maybe they'll work better for your space. Definitely check that stores return policy before you buy 2 sets of speakers

This sounds like a plan for your surround speakers question, get a pair of both with a center, then you can try them out in a 6.1 set up. Pick the ones you like for the front sound stage and use the others for surrounds.

I would be surprised if they will take returns, i have never heard of a Paradigm dealer taking speakers back after they have been opened.

Good luck and go Paradigm
