I have Sonus faber upfront and B&W 600 series towers in the rear and right now it sounds great. I need back surrounds to run 6.1 with my Denon 3801 receiver. I would also eventually like to move the B&W towers elsewhere and pick up another pair (or similar) for the side surrounds – hopefully 5 channel stereo will not suffer as it sounds awesome right now.
I can get the Surround 5.1 for $199/pr or the Newton Series™ S300 MultiPole® Surround Speaker for $299 (with the $150 off deal). Are the Cambridge really any good? They haven’t been my first choice in speakers as I like a lot of detail out of a speaker and the 4” woofers aren’t much of a woofer.
I can also get 25% off Canadian list price for Paradigm models if I act quickly since an HT buddy is in Canada today. What do you guys recommend. I can’t seem to access the Paradigm site today for models,specs and prices. I do like the Reference Studio line but they were big bucks for the bipoles(dipole?) as I recall.
Other options are the NHT SuperOne Xu or their surround speaker (model #?), or even the Blueroom Minipod but they are rated at a low 4ohms and the price has climbed at ecost.com
What do you guys think will do justice and match my Sonus relatively welI. I don’t really want to spend more than $300/pair.
Thanks
