I auditioned some Paradigms this past weekend due to not being able to find a close enough Axiom owner. The guy I talked with was amenable and appeared knowledgeable. In the course of the hour I spent, he engaged me in conversation about my "system". I told him that I had purchased a Yamaha 663 but had some regrets due to the lack of independant crossovers. He said that they were thinking of picking up Yamaha in light of Tweeter shutting down. Their primary receiver is the Pioneer Elite series. I asked about Denon - his response is that they used to carry Denon. I asked why and he said that recent Denons were experiencing problems with their circuitry - "blowing up" to be exact. I have not seen anything about that problem but thought I would ask the Denonites here if this was just his "pitch" because they don't carry Denon?
