Very happy owner of a DENON AVR-3312 here.
I think (but please correct me with your expertise) that my current set of speakers is not able to get the most of it.
Current setup is:
2 Front bookshelf Paradigm Monitor v.6
2 Back bookshelf Paradigm Atom v.5
1 Center paradigm CC-190
1 Velodyne subwoower PDR-12
Since I generally listen in 5-CHANNEL STEREO mode, I am seriosuly considering to switch to a 4.1 system of higher quality, leaving out a costly center channel which I hardly justify.
I am considering a double set of Paradigm Studio 10 for this purpose. I was told today by a seller that Paradigm studio would be possibly "too lively" for the already lively sound of my Denon AVR. He suggests QUAD 11L2 (same price as Paradigm Studio 10). What do you guys think?
The idea to have a warmer sound entices me a lot. I just would like to hear more opinions.
Other considerations:
Budget: about 2000$, not written in stone though
Room size: 30 x 20 ft - Lot of furniture
Music listened: Jazz, Electronica, World (i.e. flamenco guitar, modern tangos, arabic oud, etc...)
Thanks everyone!
