speaker choices

[mercury187]

I believe I have narrowed down my home theater speaker choices to the following:

-Paradigm Cinema 90 CT system
-Definitive Technology Black ProCinema 600 Home Theater Speaker System
-AV123:
1 x-cs Center Channel
http://www.av123.com/products_catego...ers&brand =55
4 x-ls Bookshelf’s
1 x-sub
http://www.av123.com/products_catego...ers&bra nd=57
$658.00

Out of these, what would be the best to get, ive read so many reviews they all sound good

Any help/comments appreciated.


As for the first two choices, I was trying to find a good place to buy them online, I live in the USA

Oh and I was planning on getting the onkyo 605

I do not think you can buy Paradigm online. Besides, you should listen to speakers before you buy them.

I live in a small town that doesnt have much, we have bestbuy and circuit city and thats about it so if they dont have them then its a 2 hour drive to seattle and why drive all that way to hear the speakers, then if i dont like them i wasted 4 hours of driving a whole tank of gas? it costs about 60$ to fill up, that could have gone toward a set of speakers....

I don't know much about Paradigm, but I'm a big fan of Definitives.

Find a place where you can listen to them when they are driven by gear that is close to yours. How they sound to you is what's important. I wouldn't buy anything based on a review. I'd have to hear it.

As for Paradigm, I love mine and would buy Paradigm again. I own Studio 100s for R/L and surround with the CC-690 as the Center. I prefer same vendor and series because I get a better match.

does anybody have definitive technologies mythos gem xl speaker system with powercube 3. I read an article in hometheater magazine that the sound is good.

I understand, though if it was me I would drive the 2 hrs and listen to several difference speakers. Spending $60 to research speakers that you will be listening to for several years is worth it.

However if you can't make the trip, I think you would be very happy with either Paradigm or Definitive. I own Paradigm so I am a bit biased toward them.
