OK been at this for 3 weeks now. Here are my choices.

Budget $10K for speakers and reciever

- Paradigm Studio 100's
with Servo-15 sub

or

- M & K S-150THX Ultra
with MX-150 MK sub

or

- Definitive Technology BP7000sc
With def tec sub

My useage is going to be 65-35 home theatre over music.

M&K - home threatre 10 out of 10 music 7 out of 10
When listening to these speakers on a Denon 580 I found the M&K to be the best for home theatre but average for Music playing.

Def tech - music 10 out of 10 home theatre 8 out of 10
I found the Def Tech to be the best for music listening but (with built in Subs 15", they lacked home theatre quality by a bit over M&K)

Paradigm Home theatre 8 out of 10 music 8 out of 10
When listening to these I'd say they are above average in both areas.

Choice is difficult. I am LEANING ever so slightly towards the M&K speakers but this is not a decision I can make today.

So help, thoughts, suggestions.

Please lets try to keep it to these speakers.

thanks for the imput
