I know, I know go with what your ear likes. However, the speakers I’m interested in are not all at the same store. This question has more to do with quality and durability, but of course I’m still interested in the reproduction of the sound.
I will be using the Denon 3802. 90% Movies, 10% Music. I have narrowed it down to these 7:1 packages:
Package 1: Klipsch Reference Series
Cost out the door: ~$1762
Fronts: RF-3
Center: RC-3
Sides: RS-3
Rear: KSB 1.1
Sub: KSW-12
Package 2: Paradigm Performance Series
Cost out the door: $1740
Fronts: Phantom
Center: CC-170
Sides: ADP-170
Rear: Atom
Sub: PS-1200
Package 3: Paradigm Monitor Series
Cost out the door: $2250
Fronts: Monitor 5’s
Center: CC-370
Sides: ADP-370
Rear: Atom
Sub: PS-1200
1. Price wise Package 1 & 2 are similar, but how does the quality and durability match up?
2. The price difference between Package 2 & 3 is $510. Am I going to hear $510 worth of clearer/better sound? Are the Monitor Series $510 more durable and have better quality?
