I too purchased 2 pair of the 150's (missed the 250's on sale

and have to say I was quite surprised at how good they sounded. I originally bought them to be side and rear surrounds in a 7.1 layout but after trying them in place of my Paradigm mini monitors up front I actually have kept them there. I just sold my paradigm fronts (minis and cc-370) so I can purchase a RS200 center. I was surprised at how much clearer they sounded.

My old ones sounded muffled compared to these. Anyway thats just my opinion, My paradigms served me well for the last couple of years and are also a great value for the money. I must admit I was quite skeptical of the rockets. Its seems they have people in several of the forums constantly saying how great they are and it seemed almost like a marketing scheme. But for the price I got them I figured it was worth the shipping costs to try them out. I am glad I did.

I am so glad I found forums like this and AVS. I know have great equipment (SVS sub, rocket speakers) that I never could have learned about elsewhere. I also learned so much to help build my theater.
