I never did like the look of paradigm speakers with the grills off. When I auditioned them the salesmen tried to take the grill off and the black thing shown on the bottom of your speakers came off and he couldn't get it back on.

I thought they sounded good though.

The center channel that matches those speakers is entirely to big for 90% of the HT's I have seen. The one you got looks much better. Glad to hear you like it.
