Updated to show some aesthetic changes - lighting, paint, furniture, etc. I am testing the two row seating configuration to see if it will work in this room. I hope to replace the couches with reclining theater seats (with elevated 2nd row), when I'm ready to spend the money.
Tons of features, and very nice sound for an AVR. Not bad to look at either.
Paradigm Studio-100 v2
Main L&R channels. Bi-amped with the SR7005. They are awesome for music, and handle movies quite well too. I have powered these with NAD, Marantz, B&K, Rotel, and McIntosh, and they always sound great. Give them lots of power and a big room and they're tough to beat for the price.
Paradigm Studio CC v2
Great match for the Studio 100s.
Paradigm Cinema Phantom
These are my surround channels. They produce surprisingly big sound, even when used as front channels. Great Value.
Paradigm PW-2200
A pair of these gives me good strong, deep bass. Excellent performance for the money. They blend well with the mains.
HTPC Sandy Bridge + Win 7
Self-built PC with Sandy Bridge i5 2500K CPU and an EVGA dedicated graphics card with Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti. The main OS is Windows 7 and Corel WinDVD Pro 11 is used for Blu Ray playback. It also acts as a file server for my home network.
Samsung BD-D6500
Samsung 3D capable blu-ray player.
LG PV250 60
Pretty basic 60
Winsome Linea
Contemporary style with black finish. Fairly plain, and reasonably priced. Good match to my gear.
Pjudice, In the short time I've had these, I haven't done extensive testing to compare the output of just one vs. the pair. I probably went overkill for my room size, but another A-gon member was selling the pair and the price was right. If by "difference" you mean increased volume, then I'd say two identical subs are definitely better than one of that same sub. Experimenting with multiple subs and their placement in your HT can also potentially help to even out the bass response in the room. i.e. minimize so-called dead spots. Are you currently using a single sub?
