- Well I can only speak from experience. My Paradigm 5se's are absolutely
- the best speakers I've ever owned, though the 7se's get great bass
- response. I also am looking for a shielded center speaker, in fact, I have
- been looking for one four about a year now. Nothing seems to match the
- Paradigms I own properly. I hadn't heard about this new speaker they are
- releasing, but I must tell you, I'm ECSTATIC! I can't say how well it
- would mach the Bose speakers, but I'd be willing to lay money on it sounding
- great. Paradigm is a (from what I've heard) speaker company out of Canada
- that got it's start through some university's research on acoustics and such
- (or something like that)..and everything I've heard through these speakers
- sounds remarkably accurate and pleasant. My only gripe has been imaging
- in comparison to Celestions, but otherwise they are very good.
-
- Please post when you know more about this center speaker!
