Thanks for the information. I too am concerned about the different speakers. I have looked at ADP-170/ADP-370, but frankly I only have one dealer within 150 miles and they don't seem too interested in my business. It think they would prefer I spend $1000+ rather than what I truly can spend. Kind of sours me on whether I could ever hope to get any support. Pity, because I really like my Paradigms on the front.

I was thinking about Axiom as rears and then at some point going with a center that matches my fronts. The question I have is does anyone know of the timbre matching between Paradigms and Axioms?

Everything I have read about Axiom seems to point to great speakers and great support, something I really need!

Cheers
