I noticed that the Paradigm website has recently been remodeled. Have they upgraded their monitor line, or is it the same as last years? I'm a little unsure what version they are on now. If they have a new version out, I wonder how their monitor HT setup compares with an Epic 60.

I'm in the market to buy a new HT in about 4 months. My first choice is the Epic 60 500 7.1. However if the Monitor line is improved I should also consider paradigm as the price is about the same.

In adition to new HT speakers, I'll by doing a 1080p front PJ. The new Epson home cinema 1080 looks like a good, afordable choice. I'd imagine when I'm ready to buy, there will be even more afordable options out there for 1080 PJs. Oh, do you all think in 4 to 6 months, there will be many AVR choices with HDMI 1.3 and the new high def audio decoding? thank you all!
