±1±: Best Buy Purchased this system two weeks ago to replace six-year old Onkyo HTIB speakers for my home theater room, used for movies (and TV) and not so much for music. (For music I am using a 40 year old Sansui system with JBL loudspeakers. Love them). Onkyo, imho, makes the best HTIB systems. I had been happy but was cognizant of the limitations of the system. I wanted a fuller sound but didn't want to spend a lot of $$$ or buy large speakers. I had been looking at the Energy Micros but when Amazon offered the CT 110 system in silver for 9 I knew this was the one for me. First of all Paradigm makes great systems and they are made in Canada (not in China). I happen to like the silver better than the black. The sound of the CT 110 is full, dialogue is crisp and clear and the surrounds (dipole) are a steal at this price. The sub does perform differently than the Onkyo (not as boomy - that's a good thing).
Right now I am using the Onkyo HTIB receiver and I need to push up the volume more to get the speakers to respond. I'll be looking at an Onkyo receiver in a few months and I am sure it will be a better match for these speakers.
What I deal (imho). Half price, the color I prefer, and a huge step up from my HTIB set - I don't think you can wrong with this system. I have been jumping out of my seat a bit with some of the sounds coming out of the speakers. I compared the speakers to my HTIB with a couple of movies (Public Enemy) - where Christian Bale is at times hard to hear. The Paradigms did a good job deciphering his somewhat inarticulate utterings during the movie - I could understand it all whereas the Onkyos were unable to keep up. The machine gun scenes were realistic with the Paradigms - very sharp. I then plunked in GI Joe and gave the speakers a good workout. The reports from the gunfire, roar of the machine engines and the clang of the swords were all very satisfying. No complaints.
I talk a lot with a guy who buys high end audio - he has the "upgrade" addiction. I tell him I am sure there are "better" speakers out there - but as long as one is satisfied with the quality one has why look for more? Maybe in 6 years I'll be looking to upgrade again but for now I am very happy with these speakers.
For the reviewer who was missing brackets and had a problem with the subwoofer - I'd recommend calling Paradigm customer service. The system is covered under warranty (Amazon is an authorized retailer) and being a good company I'm sure they will try to help you. on Sale!
