    Used nautilus scm1s or New Paradigm Studios?

    Hey guys,
    I've been slowly putting together a ht system, but have hit a crossroad. I currently am running 2 fronts and a center from my yamaha rv695. My center is an infiniti center that I had(until I could save to upgrade) My two fronts are a pair of used nautilus scm1s. I orginally was going to get an additional 2 nautilus scm1s for rears and a nautilus center. I just got a rocket ulw10 sub, and have been having a difficult time finding 2 black scm1s and a black nautilus center at a reasonable price(used of course). This is when I started thinking about maybe just selling the two scm1s I have now, and putting together a new paradigm studio series setup together. This would consist of 4 studio 20s for fronts and rears, and a cc590 for center. This would probably run me about as much as the b&w speakers would used. Any thoughts? Sound quality seems pretty comparable from what I heard of the studio speakers at my local dealer.
    BTW, my use would be 75% ht, and 25% music.

    I would probably go for the Paradigms not to slight B&W, because I believe you get better bang for the buck at this price range. The paradigm studio is highly rated by consumers. Good for music, great for HT, just make sure you get the real side wood panels. Who knows may you can even get the Paradigm center if you negotiate well enough. My two cents worth.

    Peace and blessings,

      Hey Folks

      I currently have an RSX-1055 receiver, driving a pair of Paradigm Studio 20v3s, along with a Def. Tech center and bi-polar side surrounds. This is mainly a HT system, since I have a Magnepan/Aragon setup for music.

      This holiday, I plan on replacing my center with...

      Main Speakers B&W Nautilus 804 Vs Paradigm Studio 100
      by kkanumuri
      I am trying to change my main speakers. Listen to more CDs than watch movies. I am narrowing down beween the B&W 804s and Paradigm Studio 100.
      Anybody have a suggestion what might work better, if I have to place them very close to a wall, in essence one will be in a corner.
