Ok so through my journey to find some good speakers for the HT setup, I've been researching alot to find what Im looking for in a speaker. Accuracy, clarity, price but never the looks of a speaker. Been reading alot about the Paradigms but never really looked into them cause I know that they would be out of my price range. Then I got curious and took a look at their homepage and I must say...those are some of the sexiest speakers I've seen so far. Is it wrong to call speakers sexy? Anyways I am now wondering...what else might be out there that I have yet to discover. Im talking about speaker that just cant be ignored and just make you say DAMN! thats a good looking speaker. Let see some pics.

That's considered B-stock, so you get a discount.

I was tempted by the Polk LSi15s, but went with Rocket 850s instead. They use the same Vifa tweeter, and look great in rosewood with piano black end caps. I wish I knew how to post pics, but check them out at www.**********. Oh yeah, they're on sale now if you buy the whole package!

Not likely I'll ever see these in Canada
(UK exclusive I think)

But that's probably a good thing ,






I love my Mission's (all 11 of them), but...
I'd probably sell my car or motorcycle to finance the purchase if these sound as good as they look

For some reason a more plain looking Tall thin monolith speaker looks very elegant to me because of the simplicity of the design, especially if it has a decent finish.
