Salamander Quality
I bought my DVDO 40 (somewhere in between the single and double but now discontinued) on Craigslist for half the price. I didn't really think that it was worth $500 but at $250 it is a much better deal. I really like the look though, so for that I... 
Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 vs, v.4
I have the 60s ver 3. I listened to the ver 4s and didn't hear a big difference. I assume that the 100s are the same way. I am not sure how much power your amp has. The 100s (and even the 60s to an extent) are power hogs and won't work with most r...

I don't know anything about your particular speakers but have learned several things over the last 5 years. I used to use my dads speakers and pioneer amp made back in the late 60's. While they didn't have today’s technology they were extremely we... 
Paradigm CC 300 or CC 350 with studio monitors
Get the center that paradigm recommends. I have mixed and matched my paradigm center with other speaker types and hate it. I personnally cant't stand it when the center and right and left do not match up. Do not underestimate the importance of the...
