I haven’t heard back from Dan about whether he ever took the plunge on a new stereo system, but I hope he got some use out of the information I passed along.<\/p>\n

Now A.J. is looking for an HT setup to go with his huge Sony TV. He started out with a Bose system but never even took it out of the box, thank God. I encouraged him to shop around for some good sound at a reputable A\/V dealer rather than throw money away on Bose.<\/p>\n

I started out trying to point him towards an Axiom<\/a> setup that looked really nice and got great reviews, but it was out of his price range. As luck would have it, Paradigm has just come out with a new Cinema CT Series<\/a> HT kit that looks like exactly what A.J. wants. The high-end package comes in right at $800, and the speakers use the technology from Paradigm’s widely-acclaimed Monitor series. So I kicked A.J. some contact info for a shop near him that deals in Paradigm. Hopefully he’ll get out and give these things a listen; I’m certain he’ll be impressed if he does.<\/p>\n

PS — If you’re spending $3,500 on a widescreen TV, you should really be prepared to spend at least<\/em> half that on your speakers. You can always save up and get a bigger TV later, but a really nice, quality set of speakers will last you for a long, long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
