I went out to audition speakers this evening. Based on recommendations, I listened to some Paradigms. Then, switched over to some B&W speakers (700 series, specifically, the 704 - I'd post a link, but I haven't made 15 posts yet so it won't let me - they're pretty easy to find on the bwspeakers.com site).
Anyway, to me the B&W speakers sounded absolutely superb. Noticeably better than the Paradigms, but they do push my overall HT budget up considerably.
My thought on this is.. maybe I buy a slightly lower end projector. The speakers are going to last me years, right? Projectors, on the other hand, are advancing all the time, and 2 or 3 years from now, I'll be able to buy a much better projector than the one I get now, for the same or less.. Does this sound logical to those of you who have been doing this for a while?
Cheers!
