Paradigm speakers are excellent value for the money.

if you're already using Paradigm fronts, why not get Paradigm everything else?

Default Always had a preference for speakers made in Canada

Not sure why.... Paradigms, psb, Mirages, and Energy. Use Mirages, psb and Energy speakers at home.

And how cool it is that Energy and Paradigm previously worked with the Canadian National Research Council on the design of their speakers in the past.

2nd. Tonal match is important in a surround system.
