Can't Decide

[Devildog151]

Here's my situation. I'm looking for some towers and can't decide on which one's to get. Right now I'm running the Definitive Technologies Promonitor800s in a 5.1 set-up with a procenter1000. I've found a really great deal on Def Tech's BP6B towers. However, I've also found a good deal on Paradigm's Paradigm Monitor 7 v.5. How would these to different towers compare? I mostly watch movies and I'm just looking for more bass output to my front sound stage while watching movies.

Also I can't demo either because the closest retailers are over 2 hours away. Since it's going to be a blind buy I'm going on reviews and opinions.

I went with the Definitive Mythos series, including the Mythos ST with subs built in. They're terrific as full range speakers, but I'd go with a dedicated sub setup if possible.

The Mythos line is the premier for Definitive, with the Promonitor series coming a close second (Mythos has aircraft aluminum housings, Promonitor is plastic, pretty much the same drivers), and the BP series has numerous fans - terrific audio across the board.

One fellow here got a better deal on Paradigm, after listening to both brands, and it very, very satisfied with them. I'll find the thread.

if you are looking for more bass, you should get another sub or get a better one. You are not really wanting your bass to be coming from your towers.

I have a great sub and it does a good job. What I meant to say was I wanted more output on the mids and lower end from the front sound stage to sound bigger. All I have in the front are the Promonitor800's and all they have is one 4.5 inch woofer.

o, ok.
