    Help picking my first sub

    Advice with paradigm atoms, titans, and focus

    something else I noticed is that places that sell paradigm are only authorized to sell them in their local area. If I'm going 30 min across the border to get them, will they not sell them to me?

    Advice with paradigm atoms, titans, and focus

    John, I've talked to a place called Gibby's Audio Video. It's in St.Catherines, just a few min over the border. Is there any reason I should go all the extra distance to Fairview Hifi?
