Hi KC_Mike,
I'd agree with Craigsub on this one. That price is a bargain, just a bit above the store's cost, if you factor in the usual retail/distributor mark-ups.
When I was still an editor of Sound&Vision (Canada) in Toronto, I went up to the Paradigm lab when that model was being designed--I think it was in '94 or '95. The Paradigm guys wanted me to hear it, and I gave it enthusiastic approval.
A reviewer acquaintance of mine in California, who admits to being into subwoofer overkill, uses two of them in his system. He also loves the Axiom towers as well, by the way.
Regards,
