I am looking to get a 2-channel reciever and speakers for my dorm room. I have decided that with my budget, it would be best to get a bookshelf with good bass extension, and these two speakers seem to be the best choices so far without a sub. I haven't heard the C-3's, but there are two Paradigm dealers nearby, so I've heard the Mini Monitors with a NAD integrated amp. I really liked them, but I just wanted to see what people had to say. Also, are there other speakers in this price range that would work well? BTW, I want them almost totally for music, but my tv will be hooked up too.
