FAU guy , we think alike I too want to test drive the Paradigm line of speakers as well. The B&W's are awesome speakers and I'am very happy with my set up. I did go with Outlaw balanced cables and I heard a bit more detail in my media aswell as a bit of volume gain. I was more than happy using the Outlaw PCA cables but ran accross a deal on the Outlaw balanced cables on Audiogon!!! Keep up the great work Outlaw!! I'am spreading the word here in Arizona. Thanks!!
