Review 1 of 8

Price Paid:  $50.00 from ebay uk

Summary:
I bought this for a Yamaha RXV396 reciever(60WPC). The CC150 is rated at 120W. I only use it in DVD's. The sound it gives out is clear, punchy,powerful. its a bit hard to drive. I had to increase the DB by 1. But it sounds terrific for the price, in Alien resurrection, the roar of the alien when the scientists are tryin to teach him tricks is wicked, very strong and clear. Have to give it 5/5 because for the price you wont get much better, its a discontinued model but even when it was first released it was very cheap. basically its a typical paradigm speaker, powerful and excellent value.

Strengths:
its clear, punchy mid, powerful, cheap, rated upto 120W

Weaknesses:
Treble could be better, hard to drive with <80W recievers(expected), nothin else though. for the price you wont get much better

Review 2 of 8

Price Paid:  $40.00 from Used

Summary:
I found it for $40 at a garage sale and imediately picked it up. I knew the paradigm name and new the quality. At that price I knew I couldn't go wrong. I wan't dissappointed. As a center channel speaker is does it job very well. My mids are fantastic. In theater and listening to music. ALthough I find that it works best in a theater situation ( as all centers do). The ability to reproduce voice and special effects is second to none at this price range. I tried to get one for my brothers system worth thousands more than mine and got the CC170 he loves it!

Strengths:
Clearity, mids, highs, Value

Weaknesses:
Kinda Big

Similar Products Used:
none

Review 3 of 8

Summary:
I've been useing this center chanel for some time now, its good but lacks a little in the imageing department, soon I want to get the mini monitors or monitor 3's and the cc350 to match. But its a preety good center, I put mine up right insted of on its side this makes mine sound a little sharper.

Strengths:
Even thoungh it has the same tweeter as the performance series it does'int sound bad, wow!

Weaknesses:
none

Review 4 of 8

Summary:
Very nice center channel. Clear, well built and priced right for an entry level speaker. Trebel and Bass response is good not excellent but you definitly get you monies worth and more. I recently upgraded to the CC350 which is about 200 dollars more. IMHO, with Paradigm and with any speaker you simply can't go wrong if your looking for value as well as performance...I was!

Review 5 of 8

Summary:
Unbelievable clarity is this center's best feature. No matter if it's just radio all the way up to Dolby Digital, this center is one of the best I have heard, and for the value, it can't be beat!

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
