I just want to praise Paradigm for all its products. I currently bought a pair of monitor 9's which house two 8" woofers and a 1" aluminum dome tweeter. These towers sound amazingly crisp in detail and base response is phenomenal. Even when you just want to crank it up, these babies can handle it(yes even thunderous techno sounds amazing). I also have a PS-800 and Titans as surrounds, you've never seen Top Gun or Star Wars quite like this I assure you. Paradigm has exceptional value for it's money and I can't see myself changing to anything else.

I got a pair of these speakers used about a year ago, and have been very pleased with them.They are very accurate and musical, and have a very flat response.
Their soundstage and imaging is second to none in this range, and their bass response is quite impressive. In fact, I've stopped using my sub for music since I got these.

Overall, I love these speakers, and I'd recommend them over most any speaker in their price range. (Please folks, give them a listen before you buy bose! :)

I bought the speakers a year ago through Sound City. When sitting in front of these speakers listening to them in stereo mode they seem to just disappear. There is not a speaker to compare it with in this price range. The new Atoms will be next for 5.1 application.

Unmatchable power and bass for size. The highs and lows are the clearest and deepest you could ask for from speakers this size. Paradigm is the best. The quality is absolutly unsurpassable. Blew a tweeters, it was my fault, and paradigm next day aired me two new tweeters, no questions asked.

No weakness except I wish I could have a pair in every room of my house

Unbeatable price , best all around speaker in the under $1000 price range. Unsurpassed sound quality and impecable warranty coverage. The Paradigm dealerships really take care of their customers.Love THEM! could not ask for more. One of the most beutiful speaker casings on the market. They also hold their value like nobody's business. Great Speakers LOVE PARADIGM! only speaker I would ever buy again.

Awesome Tonal Range for a smallish speaker. Crisp Highs and thundering Lows. Perfect Imaging.

No Vented Port. Sound seems to spread too far when listening withoutht the grills.

I use these little dynamos as my mains in a 6 speaker set up, all the rest are PSB's. They work very well together and almost sound as if they were actually made for one another. I have had these since they first came out and would not even think of replacing them. I auditioned others, JBL's, Infinity, B&W, Klipsch and The 3seMK3's blow them away, and they are a bargain to boot. Too Bad they don't make these anymore because I would surely buy myself another set. If you can get your hands on a pair of these you won't regret it.

Just bought them today!!! The new Paradigm line is out, and they're practically giving away these older models -- got mine for only $250 for the pair...
Anyways, so far they have delivered exceptional musical clarity. Bass response is strong, tight, and balanced -- only a complete bass freak would go for a subwoofer with these. Mids and highs are unbelievably smooth and uncolored. (and they're not even broken in yet:))

On the home theater front -- i reassigned my Titans to rear channel surround duty and together this combination is lethal. After getting everything connected, i immediately gave it the old Top Gun test and the 3se's passed with "flying" colors...

Overall, a great set of speakers.

great sound for the size and price

I bought a pair of these speakers and they sounded so good i got another pair for my rears. They give out good bass, and are great for movies. Right now I am using all paradigm speakers and they go really well with each other. At the price these things are at they destroy anything I listened to while shopping.

Nice design, moderate size ( not big and not small ), Extreme bass.

NONE !!!

I have this speakers over two years now! These are just great. Their main strength is bass, it's just extreme. I recently bought Psb B5 and I compared them, Paradigm WON. These speakers are must buy! They almost sound like PSB Stratus gold which are class B.
