If I have a budget for around $2200 max excluding the sub would could the Paradigm Monitor series be good for that amount? Thinking about Monitor 11s, ADP 370, CC370. Any suggestions welcome, 8 or 4 ohm speakers welcome. I also heard about this other company from Canada called Axiom, and on the web site it looks like their Epic 80 system would also fit my budget. Please help Im new to this stuff

It depends on the size of your room, your personal listening tastes, what you'll be listening to and the euipment you'll be hooking up to, ie. the receiver/amplifier.
It's only good value if it produces a sound you like, and all the above play a role, although the most important item is probably what make of receiver/amp you've got.

Hey, I forgot one thing. If you get the axioms you have to break them in before they will really shine. They are direct from the factory and they use aluminum woofers so they need a break in period. Just leave a cd playing or something all day {dont fry amp though} and do that for a couple of days. after that they should be sounding superb!!! ok thats all.

Sorry I forgot to add dimensions. The room is 20 X 23 with 12 foot ceilings, I also have the room prewired for rear center. I will listen to about 70% movies and 30% music. Probably using a Nad T762 A/V receiver to drive speakers, Thanks

I have the Paradigms and could not be happier. i have the Titan series 2, so the monitor series being bigger should sound even better. Paradigm was won a lot of awards and is highly acclaimed, just do a search with your speakers in Google and read the reviews. I have not heard the Axioms as there are no local dealers.
