B&W CDS6 S2 ceiling rears - 2 each - 8 ohm

Try to get a matched set of what ever you get...what is your price range?

 

[Kevin Lundberg]

$1500 for lightly used. More or less, what ever it takes to match my setup.

I've been checking out Paradigm on the web. I've never auditioned Paradigm. Would they be a night and day difference over my B&W's?

My Thiel's are 15 years old but sound a ton better than my B&W's. Keep the Thiel's or let them go?

By selling off my beamers I could spend $2500 on new speakers. If I sell off the Thiel's also I could go $3300

I would keep the Thiels and look for some used Thiels to replace them. Maybe a 1.5 or 1.6 in the back. They do make a "home theater" speaker that you could use in the rear or center position as well.
