I'm in the beginning stages of assembling a home theater setup. My plan is to replace my old NAD stereo receiver with a Marantz 4300/5300 A/V receiver, then get the L/R fronts and ceenter, the rears, and finally the subwoofer. My short list of speakers is as follows:
Paradigm Titans/Focus fronts and CC170 center (haven't made up my mind yet which one)
Ascend CBM-170 fronts and the new center (whenever it comes out)
Axiom Millennia M3ti fronts and VP100 center.
I was in my local audio shop today auditioning the Paradigms and the salesman said he would recommend that I get the fronts/subwoofer first, the rears, then the center last. Never considered that, but cost is an issue. Any opinions regarding this arrangement. My listening will be about 75/25 movies/music.
Also, any other suggestions on speakers would be welcome too. My price range is 300-400 for the fronts and 200-300 on the center.
