Review 2 of 42

Price Paid:  $250.00 from ebay

Summary:
this is a v3 version. excellent sound quality for the price, as is all the paradigm speakers. I have system matched with paradigm studio 40v3 mains, audioquest cable, paradigm pw2100 sub, sony es strda3000es receiver...this system rocks any small to midsize room and highly recommend it to any audio/video enthusiast...the sound quality doesn't exactly match that of the studio 40's but is close enough.

Strengths:
size, price, sound quality, paradigm name

Weaknesses:
none at this price point, you cannot find another center channel at this price that sounds better

Review 3 of 42

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
I have been using the CC-370 v.3 for about a month now. After first buying the CC-170 to accompany my Paradigm Mini Monitors as fronts, I was completely disappointed. At mid to high listening levels, the sound was quite harsh. I returned them for the 370. With the 370, I never have this problem. Highs were always really balanced and natural sounding. Voices with bass sounded remarkable. Female voices are really smooth and airy. The 370's match, sonically, the Mini Monitors very well.

Strengths:
Beautiful sound and match the monitor series very well.

Review 5 of 42

Price Paid:  $337.00 from Sound Advice

Summary:
One thing I have discovered in trying to build a great sounding home theatre system is it can be very difficult to find great sounding equipment. I have been researching and testing gear for over a year now and I'm only now beginning to completely replace my old system. During my research on the web and in stores I kept coming across fabulous reviews on the Canadian made Paradigm speaker systems so I found a store in my area went down and had a listen and wow wee those reviews were right. I have fallen in love with Paradigm speakers. I have been shopping for speakers in the thousands of dollars range and I gave this center channel a listen and I must say I was impressed. I shopped around some more and returned to the store to buy the Paradigm center channel. This is Not a perfect sounding speaker, it can be a little bit thin at times but it is a very good sounding center chanel and when you look at the price this is a great speaker for the value. I am a very fussy person and I am satisfied with the performance of this unit and would absolutely recommend it to any one who wants a great sounding center chanel at a very reasonable price. For the most part it has a nice full rich natural sound with great dispersion through out the room. The center chanel is a very important speaker when you are driving it with a high end amp like the one I'm using and I am very pleased with my purchase to say the least. I also picked up a Paradigm sub woofer (PS 1000) and it's great for home theatre and a great value as well. It's really wonderful to find a good product at a good price that you can recommend to others.

Strengths:
Great Value to say the least! Nice full fairly rich sound

Weaknesses:
Can be a bit thin at times, but only a bit and it depends on the source.

Similar Products Used:
Tried many high end speakers

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.
