Strength:
Good bass out of the center. The highs are good, not too tinny.
Weakness:
The unit is somewhat large. If you're going to put it above your TV on your entertainment center, make sure you have a large shelf above the TV. I got a great deal on Monitor 5's and wanted the center to go with them, but they only had this year's model in the center. They've added a phase plug to the dual drivers. The speaker sounds great! I love the rich quality on DD and DTS soundtracks. James Earl Jones' voice sounds fantastic! It does a good job with the "Unleash Hell" scene in Gladiator (the new benchmark scene for me). Similar Products Used: I've used Bose, M&K and B&W. The M&K were THX bookshelf speakers that were outstanding (a friends), the Bose were overpriced and not that great, and the B&W's were in-wall and not impressive for the m |

Strength:
Excellent sound clarity and projection. It matches my Monitor 9's up front to a T. Great home theatre experience. Even performs well with casual TV viewing as well. I love it. Dope product. Paid 305.00 Canadian, taxes included. What a deal
Weakness:
None. Superb unit. Since I've had this baby as my centre, I've been in home theatre heaven. A friend of mine took one listen and went out and grabbed one the next day. Check it out. For the loot I paid, I really have no complaints whatsoever. Sounds great, and will sound even better once broken in. Similar Products Used: Paradigm Monitor 9 Floor standing speakers |

I have had the CC-350 for about4 months and in that time my enjoyment of home theater has increased 3 fold. I enjoy every aspect of this center, I have been sold on Paradigm, and I doubt if I will change. (that is unless I become rich) |

Strength:
natual voice for both male and female This is a review of my single shielded mini monitor that I am using as center to match my front mini monitors. For every of you who has mini monitor as front and also using cc-350 or cc-170, you are having a center either over perform or under Similar Products Used: CC-170 |

Strength:
Accurate Sound, Great Imaging, Heavy(=well built), Great Price
Weakness:
None You just can't go wrong with Paradigm products, and this is a perfect example. The speaker sounds great, is solid, and can handle whatever you send it. I am anxious to put it to the DVD test. |

Strength:
accurate treble and smooth mid- and upper-bass, good bass extension
Weakness:
very slightly recessed midrange The Export is a great speaker. The overall frequency response is well balanced, though there are some low bass (60-70 Hz) resonances that have been audible in more than one room. The speaker plays louder than I can stand and doesnt seem to present a difficult load to the amplifier. |
