Hey thanks for that gonk. I purchased the Paradigm Atom's last Saturday and they absolutely were an improvement over the cheesy Bose 2 speakers. I’m in the process of selling “stuff” around the house on EBay to gain a few extra bucks to put towards some Paradigm Studio 40’s or 60’s, or Monitor 9 or 11, just can’t decide which way to go. They all sound excellent. My room is not all that big, rectangle in shape and goes from an 8ft to a 16 ft ceiling. Once I get 12 gage speaker cable ran through the attic and down an outside wall (that’s gonna be fun!) for the Atoms, acquire the main fronts, then I’ll be ready to pursue a 50 inch HDTV and baby, I’ll be set! Thanks for your comment.
