    FT: Paradigm Monitor 9

    Maybe a long shot, but here goes... I'm moving to a new place and will have a bit less space for my home theater. My Monitor 9's are unshielded and was hoping to trade them for a set of *shielded* Monitor 7's. You would of course gain the ability to play some lower frequencies as well as...

    Denon AVR 2802 vs 1803

    With last year's models being cleared out, I can get the Denon AVR-2802 for about $80 more than the newer AVR-1803. The specs overall seem pretty similar.

    Infinity Perfect 12.1 in a sonosub for HT?

    I may be able to get a hold of one of these suckers quite cheap. usually, i wouldn't even consider a car sub for HT since most have fairly low xmax specs, but this sucker has 14.15mm, supposedly in each direction. granted, this isn't linear xmax (as far as I can tell), but still better than most...
