I compared them to try to get a feel for the difference between the 7's and my current Monitor 3's which I felt were a bit similar to the Titans though my 3's are smoother than the Titan.

I would have bought the cc290 over the 190. I have both, lol, and the 290 was a dramatic improvement over the 190. Dialogue is much more clear and pronounced compared to the 190. I'm not slamming your choice or the cc just stating the differences I noticed since I have both.

Paradigm speakers have a very good reputation for delivering very good sound at a reasonable price. For my money and ears I will always buy Paradigm.

My dealer wanted $239 more for the cc-290 and I am not sure if it would fit under the tv stand . Hope I am not sorry. I take it that my Onkyo TXSR606 (90 watts ) will be ok to drive them.
