An update on my speakers (Since I started this thread).

I auditioned the Energy Connoisseur Line against the Paridigm Studio 100s.

The Energy Speakers won. So, I got 2 mains and a center channel to match. Game Over.

Well not quite. The good folks @ AV123 finally got my Rocket speakers off the boat. They allow you to audition in your house with the option of shipping them back. So, I got the speakers last Friday set them in the general location of my others. Out of the box without any calibration they are the best speakers I've heard in my price renge.

So I'm sold on the Rockets! I'm still fine tuning for optimal setup but if anyone is in Houston, and wanted to audition, let me know.
