I've been dreaming about one of these setups for a while. It's by no means certain but is coming into the realm of possibility that I will soon be able to afford a Paradigm Reference setup. So as I'm some what bored right now I thought I'd go fishing for some opinions on a couple setups. I'm hopeful what my gut tells me will be reinforced by what others here say, or have my perspective changed by what others here have to say. Oh and what people out there think or know these setups should cost.
I'd be using them with a 260L Adire Tempest Sonosub tuned to just under 17hz (possibly a pair of slightly larger ones in a year or so) and likely Outlaw's 950 Pre/Pro
I'm considering either Studio CC center, Studio 40 mains, Studio 20 surrounds, powered by either an Athem MCA5 or an Outlaw Audio 750.
The second one would be identical, minus the power amp since the ActiveCC, Active40, Active20 are all internally biamped.
I might also consider upping the surrounds to 40's, depending on available funds. And the center surround isn't possible for at least 3 years due to room constraints in my current place of residence.
I guess the biggest issue is whether the inflexibility and added cost of internal biamping would be of sufficient benefit over the Studio series with a good power amp.
Thoughts, opinions, experiences anyone?
