Thoughts on Yamaha RXA-1060 and Paradigm 9V7?

[silversnake]

Hey guys,

Here is what I was recommended from a local store here. I was able to sit down and listen to them and they sound amazing but I want to hear from the experts here and see if for the price I'm paying I'm better off getting something else.

I'm looking to upgrade my setup from 2008 and I've been out of the "game" since then in terms of keeping up to date. I feel like back then it was all about Marantz and Onkyo for receivers but I've heard more and more complaints about Onyko these days. For speakers, I have Polk satellite speakers (RM 705) which I personally love, but the center is a bit weak. I want to keep my sub and my 2 rears and want to make sure that everything will play nice together.

Here is what I'm looking to upgrade:

Paradigm (PA-Center 1) ~300 before tax
Paradigm (PA-Monitor-9V7) ~1100 before tax
Yamaha RX-1060 ~1300 before tax

Please keep in mind, that these are CAD prices The prices look good to me but if you guys want to suggest something that similar in price to the US counter-part, feel free and I can check myself for the price here.

My main concern I suppose is Yamaha? Usually I'm the type of person who will get something that specific for what I want, so a company that does only audio but in this day in age, that seems harder and harder to find. Paradigm, I've always heard good things but there are some Polk here that are much cheaper at Best Buy but not sure if those are worth getting or not.

As I said, I know that this is definitely an upgrade on what I have now, my main questions are regarding Paradigm and Yamaha in general.

Thanks guys and feel free to ask questions. I'm looking to decide on this in the next couple days.
