I recently bought a set of M3Ti's to go in our dining room, mostly to play at moderate volumes. I must say, the Axioms certainly look nice, but the more I listen to them, the more I realize they fall short of the old (and cheaper) Paradigm Titans they replaced. I can't get my Titans back because I gave them to my parents. I've decided to move the Axiom's into my workshop.
This has left me with the problem of replacing the speakers upstairs in my dining room. At first I was going to move my Paradigm Studio 20's from my main system and buy larger Studio's, but being so soon after christmas and all I just can't afford it.
I also have Mini Monitors for my HT and don't want to touch that setup so they're out of the question.
I've always been curious about the AR DIY kits. I'd love to try it, but I don't know anybody who's ever used them and I'm hesitant to buy speakers without listenening to them.
Can anyone here give a testament as to how the AR DIY speakers would sound compared to either (or all) of the speaker models I've listed? Any suggestions...the AR DIY's fit my budget quite nicely at this time.
