Hmmm... Paradigm PW-2200 vs Adire Dharman (???)

Hmmm...

I'm trying to decide between these two great
subs. It's mostly for home theater, but music
quality is still important -- although I have
complete confidence that both of these will be
fine for music.

With that said, I have auditioned the Paradigm
at my local dealer and liked it a lot. It really
pounds for the price, and shakes the crap out of
you, the room, the couch, etc, etc! :)

Both subs are the same price (the Adire being
ordered online from a fellow Canadian store). The
Paradigm can be bought and serviced just down the
road from me, whereas the Adire would have to be
shipped if complications/problems arose.

Any opinions on these subwoofers, and if the
Dharman is better for HT, is it THAT MUCH better
to warrant the potential hassle-factor?

Here's the info on both:

http://www.paradigm.ca/Website/SiteParadigmProduct/ParadigmModels/SubWoofers/PW_Series.html

"I would expect the new pw2200 to be right near the top of the Tom Nousaine list once he has a chance to measure it."

"In fact, the measured performance of the Dharman equals that of the Velodyne HGS-15, a $2500 reference level subwoofer!"

-Adire website

FYI: I considered the Paradigm Servo 15 as well,
but the performace increase over the 2200 is
minimal for the price. If anything, I could
almost get TWO 2200's for the cost of one Servo,
which I trust would blow it's doors off.

Your opinions on this matter would be great!

Oh, and I'm not interested in ordering any of
the subs from the US (SVS, HSU, etc) so please
don't suggest them ;-)

Thanks!

Michael
