In short, a very decent center channel even when not considering the price, which is by itsself a real plus. I am very happy with it. Works extremely well in my HT system. Monitor 7s up front and Mini Monitors in the rear. The CC350blends seamlessly with the other speakers. The CC350 is head and shoulders above the CC150 I was using(which BTW was not a bad center). Check it out, after hearing it you may not buy it but you certainly will consider it.

Just bought a set of Mini-Monitors and the CC350 and I'm completely satisfied. I couldn't come close to the quality of this matchup for twice the $600 entrance fee. I do think the angle of the front face was a bit steep for placing above a large TV, but turning the unit upside-down solved the problem.

I THOUGHT THE CC350 WAS THE BEST I EVER HEARD. MY LITTLE BROTHER THOUGHT IT SUCKED. SO DID MY AUNT AND UNCLE. MY DOGS ARCHIE AND MAX HATED THEM ALSO. THEY STARTED TO HOWL. I GAVE THEM COOKIES AND PIZZA TO SHUT UP. I PLAY THIS CENTER CHANNEL THROUGH A B&K RECEIVER THAT COST ME OVER 25 LARGE. BOY, I MUST OF HAD ROCKS IN MY HEAD. I'M GOING TO GO OUT AN BUY A FISHER SYSTEM.

I cannot add a whole lot more than what has already been written. Extremely happy with this addition to my stereo and home theatre system. Using mini-monitors for surround and Mirages up front powered by HK AVR75 receiver, Panasonic A120U dvd and HK FL8550 cd player. Was considering Mirage products, but heard these speakers and had to have them.

Strength:

Solid construction, excellent binding posts, outstanding sound quality.

Weakness:

None

Can't say much more than has already been said. The best sounding center channel I have auditioned, and is matched perfectly with my Mini Monitors, ADP-350s and PS-8 sub.

Argueably the most important speaker in your home theater setup, and this one does it's job perfectly! Audiophile quality, without the audiophile price!

After finally moving from Dolby Pro to DD, I think I'm in heaven. Cash was tight, wife would freek, so I used the credit card. I put together a HT system that consisted of Mini Monitors for front/rear and kept the JBL TLX2 centre that I had. Now I'm no expert but everything sounded great. Though I still had the spending bug in me. A week later I got the CC-350 and let me tell you I'm in seventh heaven. This centre is a perfect match for the Mini Monitors. It just sounds so incredible. No matter what I through at it, it just won't fold(SPR, Fifth Element, Air Force One, etc, etc). For the $326CDN I spent on it, its the perfect addition to my system. Get it , try it, keep it.

A very nice center channel speaker, no matter if your other speakers are Paradigm or not. I have it mated with Paridigm Monitor 7's and a PW-2200 sub and they blend very well. Buy one, you won't take it back, but if you do, a Paradigm dealer will refund, so what are you out...

Strength:

SUPERB SOUND REPRODUCTION, CAN HANDLE PLENTY OF POWER, NO DISTORTION

Weakness:

BINDING POST SCREWS MADE OF PLASTIC

I Couldn´t find a better center speaker for the price.
Since I chose Paradigm´s Mini-Monitors for mains, CC-350 was the best choice because they all have the same drivers and this matters a lot so that there´s no tonal difference.
Go hear it for yourself! Amazing sound, fair price. ALL 5 STARS!

My System:
Front...Mini-Monitors
Center..CC-350
Rear....ADP-170
Sub.....PDR-12
Amp: Yamaha RX-V995

Strength:

Big sound , solid bass looks good.

Weakness:

Speaker is alittle too big for my taste.

The cc-350 fills my15x22 room with spacious vocals. I wanted to buy the cc-170 because of the size. It was a bit smaller and it would fit it the entertainment centre better. When I listened to both there was no compareson I coughed up the extra cash for the cc-350 I shoped for six months I listned to as many speakers that my city would allow and for the price Paradigm and the cc-350 was not to be beat. It gets five stars here.

I have the CC-350 matched with the Monitor 7s front and Mini Monitors rear. The sound is absolutley seemless when sound transitions from one side to the other. Dialogue is crisp clear and has a very naturual sound to it. I have not tried it with DTS audio or 5 channel audio yet, so no comment on the musicallity of it, other than it has the exact same drivers as the Monitor 7s so I would assume it will sound good musically. I have not heard a better center in the price range or for that matter a better center without a powered sub in it. Highly recommend! 5 stars are reserved for exceptional highend equip.
