Which Paradigm Center Speaker??

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
First, I love my HT Room, which was constructed 90% on what I learned on this forum - couldn't have done it without this place!! (Especially the "Things I wish I would have done differently in my project" thread.)

After a lot of reading on this forum, I've decided to upgrade my Front, Center and Subs in my HT Room. I've settled on Paradigm Studio 60 Fronts, and a pair of SVS PC12-Plus Subs.

The part of the decision I'm unsure of is which Paradigm Center to go with, CC-590 or CC-690...

I'm OK with spending the extra money on the CC-690, but don't want to spend it if it doesn't give me anything significant.

My room is 18'W x 25'L, 2-rows of 5-seats each (with ButtKickers), NAD 775 as a Pre-Amp (waiting to upgrade to the Outlaw 997 Pre if they ever release it), Outlaw 7700 Amp. HiDef Proj, Blu Ray, etc...

My surrounds are RBH MC-6DB's In-Walls (did this to save the protrusion as there is only a few feet from the wall and the edge of the seating area...). I plan on keeping the RBH's for now.

As always, I appreciate the input! THANKS!

I'll leave the speaker question to someone else, but why not get one SVS Ultra than 2 PC Plus? Money better spent.

John, I read a pretty interesting study that Harman Intl did on subs - http://www.harman.com/wp/pdf/multsubs.pdf . They concluded that four subs is pretty much the best configuration, with two placed mid-point at front and back walls is nearly as good... Best analysis I've seen and I'm adopting the two sub approach as my room doesn't really lend itself to four.

Thanks!
