I have just bought some paradigm mini monitors Ver 3 for my fronts. The store also has the cc-370 center. Just wondering if that would be a good match for the fronts. I also wanted to know what would be a good match for surrounds. I don't have alot of experience with paradigms so I don't know how big the differences are between ver 2 or 3 or 4. I also found some monitor 7s ver 4 so that is another option. Any help would be great.

Need help matching New Paradigms

The CC-190, CC-290, and CC-390 centers are from the monitor series.
Their site: http://www.paradigm.com/en/paradigm/centers-monitor-cc190-model-3-4-1-6.paradigm#
says the CC-190 is a match to the mini monitors (see list on right side of page, and click on "matching fronts". Then click on "matching surrounds", and it says the ADP-190 and ADP-390, are the matching surrounds.
It says the same thing, for matching stuff, with the CC-290 and CC-390. So it boils down to which of those centers you like best. I'd definitely go with one of those centers, and one of those ADP surround pairs, so everything is timbre matched. If you don't timbre match, the sound won't be quite right.
Good luck!

Ok so it really dosnt matter which version of the speaker it is? I have the monitor 3 version 3 so I didnt know if it would match well with the version 6. The version 6 seem to have a little different sound. At first I thought I was getting mini monitors and they ended up being monitor 3s so thats one correction I need to make to my first post. I am thinking about getting the CC-370 because I found a decent deal on it. I just wanted to make sure that would be a good match so I will probably pick it up this weekend.
Thanks for the help.

I don't know about the Monitor 3................ A search there didn't turn up anything on them. A search for the CC-370 didn't turn up anything either.
Yea the monitor 3 aren't around anymore. They are a few years old. I think I wil be good with the CC-370 because I was doing some more research today about the different versions and it said version 3 and 4 are pretty close to each other. I was hoping someone would have them and could verify. I couldnt afford the new ones on this system. Maybe in a few years I will upgrade.
