Thanks Dave for the info but have you ever heard the Paradigm Studio 20's? How do you feel the 170's compared to the 20's? I am not concerned about the 170's lacking in bass extension but rather more concerned with the SIZE of the sound stage the 170 put out. That is, is it a wide and airy as the Studio 20's? This is what I really need to know. I also understand the 20's have a better tweeter and image a little better but once again I am not overly concerned there as well. If you know of any other speakers the 170's are more comparable to please let me know because I have no experience with PSB---although I have heard nothing but good things. Thanks once again.
Phil
