Ok everyone, I'm trying to make some big changes and simplify at the same time. So up go the Paradigms for sale. Local pick up only as these are 85 pounds each and boxing + shipping would cost more than it's worth. I WILL deliver within a 2 hour drive for $50 extra. This means NJ, DE, VA, DC, PA, NYC. On to the goods!
Paradigm Studio 100 v.1 - black, excellent condition 8.5/10
and
Paradigm Studio CC-450 - black, excellent condition 8/10
$900 for the set
These are excellent bang for the buck speakers that are big and sound the part. I'm the second owner of both, the first being a kooky recluse that never even listened to them much.
The towers are in excellent shape with 2 or 3 small nicks along the bottom edge of one speaker. The sound, though sometimes described as bright, is mis-described most likely due to poor sources causing sibilance and ring. Easily tamed with the right gear and the best part is THESE PLAY WELL WITH TONS OF GEAR. I've run them with everything from a Denon AVR-4800 to a Rotel 980 to an Acurus A200 to an Onkyo 805 and they have sounded great with every combination. The tops are airy, the mids very neutral and the bass powerful. Just a great combination HT/music speaker.
The center speaker is timbre matched to the towers and blends without a hitch. Same drivers as the towers. Dual binding posts. A great value for a powerful center.
These are the start of a powerful HT. Pair these 3 along with some chaep Paradigm rears or any other surrounds of choice, and you have a very strong HT for not much coin.
Would like to sell together for now and I feel $900 is a fair price considering the center goes for $250 on ebay and the towers for $800-850.
Pm with any questions. Out of town right now and pics will be posted tomorrow night when I return home. Just wanted to get these on here.

Went over the speakers today and both are in excellent shape. The flaws pictured in the last set are all on one speaker only. The other speaker is perfect. Grills are in perfect shape. For an 11 year old set of speakers, the grills look brand new.
Sorry for the poor pics. Good camera is caput and this was with an old camera. -
Here are some more. These guys are monsters (in a good way).
-
More pics. All original adjustable brass feet are still attached.
-
These are the flaws with the one speaker. On top of the speaker, there are a few scratch marks, not terrible, but visible when right on top of the speaker. Don't know how this happened since I keep paper towels and wood blocks on top the speakers.
-
The back right top corner has the small corner wood showing, not visible unless looking for it. The back left bottom corner has the heavier scrapes as shown. The pictures make it look much worse than it is. From the front, these speakers look as brand new as 11 year old speakers can. With this speaker in a normal lit room, nobody is going to point out these minor flaws.

Will take pictures of the CC-450 if desired by individual. It's in great shape except for some scratching on the bottom.
I was thinking, even if you only want the towers, sell the CC-450 for $250, and you have killer towers for $650. Very hard to beat for this price. -
Bumping this.
Price drop, now $900 delivered within 2 hours away and $850 for local pickup. -
Sale pending to criverajr
