Absolutely! The Martin Logans were fine speakers, but the Paradigms just seem to do everything so effortlessly. They have much more presence feel so powerful.

A beautiful and inviting room and system.

LOTS. Unless you make really good money, you'll be saving for a while. He's got a nice pre/pro and amp, 2 badass JL subs, the top of the Paradigm studio series, etc. I'd recommend going and auditioning some speakers and get a feel for what type of speakers you like first.

Great looking setup! I'm loving the paradigm stuff!

You would be looking at $7000-$8000 for the Paradigm speakers and the JL i think are around $3500 each. You will also need a good receiver and power amp to properly power the Paradigms, but you could get away with just the receiver if it's powerful enough.

[Vento_Dub9]

Those paradigms are the nicest looking speakers I've ever seen. Something to work towards.

thanks Twitch9.
