    Anybody own Paradigm C5 center? I have Q

    I cannot believe I am actually considering buying this thing (81lbs-500watts) but I think it would need its own amp correct? The thing has 6 drivers in it. Thanks for any replys!

    I use the Paradigm C5 since 1 year already.

    I'm powering it with the Anthem Statement P5 (5X325W)with great results. I even drive it full-range sometimes. The C5 goes down to 25Hz! :T

    But what I really like about that center is this. It's under my screen (8' wide), but if an actor is on the far side of the screen, then the voice is really "coming" from there, even if it's 5' up and 4-5' left or right. "Imaging" is that good.

    But what front speakers are you considering to be paired with the C5? The S8?
    To spend more $$$ on electronics without first addressing room acoustics is fruitless IMO.

      Anybody own an Arcam AVR250 or 300?
      by Kirby
      I am considering one of these, probably the 300. Does anybody own one? I have a problem in that the dealer in my area will only order as needed so I am not able to demo a unit. Any info would be greatly appreciated. By the way I have PSB speakers, Image, Century and alphas.

      Bi-amping Paradigm with Rotel
      by jk@home
      Hey Folks

      I'm using an RSX-1055 receiver (75 watts x 5) to power a Paradigm Studio system that I am in the process of building, for HT and casual music listening only.

      Started off with 20v3s, then added a 570 center. This last spring I traded the 20s for 60s, and plan...
