I'd go for Paradigm too for your living room. I've got a Subwoofer
and two Titan satellites set-up from Paradigm for 3 years now and
am very happy with them. Excellent quality for reduced price (you
don't get anything fancy, but what you get is great).

As far as studio monitors, I'm very happy with my JPL 4206 monitors
(I use them with Hafler amp). They sound terrific at a 4ft distance,
much louder than they actually are. In other words, your body will
tingle to the bass but your neighbours won't. Very good for reference
too if you compose.

I also got some Klipsh bookshelf speakers, they were on sale and
I was relying on the Klipsh reputation. Big mistake, they won't
do well with big bass...

Subject: Re: Which Speakers??

paradigm from canada... I brought a bunch of HEAVY bass tracks on Vinyl
&
CD to all the audio stores I could find and did a lot of comparison
shopping. No other speaker under $1000 a pair could touch them (most
distorted quickly sending the salesman running for the volume knob
screaming "what kind of music is this???" trying to save their
speakers.)
mine cost $700 but are the big ones, you could get smaller ones from
$300-$500 depending on size.

I use them to check out which d'n'bass tunes will sound good in the club
before I go out and spin. They're very accurate and can handle a
shitload
of bass without distorting. Any listees who've been to my pad care to
testify?
