    need help with rears (paradigm adp vs mini/atom)

    when i auditioned a bunch of speakers i had pretty much decided on atoms as rears (this was with mini's up front) as i couldn't hear that much of a difference between atoms and titans for rears (not worth the $50 jump in price) but started thinking about dipoles. also what is the best way...

    got my new monitor 5's problems though :(

    being new to this i'm kind of hesitant to take the tweeter out but if it's just a matter of taking off the screws popping it out and then popping it back in i could handle that i'm sure, i'm going to take it into a local shop on wed to let them listen and then email the seller after that
