Paradigm Center Channel Upgrade? (1 Viewer)

[Steve Young]

Hi, been a while since I last posted in the HTF.
Anyway, I was in to get the tweeter repaired on my Studio CC v2. The salesman asked if I had seen/heard the new Studio CC-570, and I had not. He said it would be a great and noticeable upgrade.
I would like to know if anyone has made this upgrade or could agree that this would be a good upgrade. He said I could trade in my CC and pay approx. $550 CDN. I didn't get a price on just buying the CC-570, so i'm not too sure about this.

Thanks
Steve

I had the CC370 and upgraded to the Studio CC470. Noticeable difference in my opinion. I asked about the difference between the 470 and 570 and dealer didn't push the 570 at all.

I also bought the Studio 20's to replace my Monitor 7's.

Was that $550 + CC for a CC570 at full MSRP? I paid $800CDN for my CC570 when it first came out. You should be able to do the same or better for this fantastic speaker. I would ask him to allow you to take home a 570 to try out in your setup and see how it sounds. What speakers do you use up front?

Kevin, yes it was $550 + my CC.

Steve,

You probably could do better. The MSRP of the CC470 is $700CDN. Most dealer should be able to do that price with taxes in. So your actually looking at $610CDN + tax. So your dealer is actually only offering you $60 for your speaker The CC470 is an excellent center channel and will work well with your Studio 40's. I'd work out a deal to buy the speaker without the trade in and sell your center on CAM or here.
