A center that matches it's intended main speakers very well. Paradigm Reference line ability to extract every detail without getting harsh or bright.

Not as pretty as others. Wire is very important to gain top performance. A bad movie track will be shown (not fault of speaker but something to note).

This center rounds out the Reference line making it a great system for DVD-A, SACD (When Multi-Channel is out),CD, DVD Movies, etc. Let's you forget that there is a screen there and make you feel like your an outside observer with actors. Wire experimentation is a must. Due to the datailed nature of the speaker wires make a difference in all of the Reference line. At this price point it is a definite winner. Wish it could look better naked. But hey it sounds better with grills on so I should stop whining.

Kudos to Paradigm for one terrific lineup of speakers.
