I have Paradigm Minimonitors (v3 I guess) that I picked up in 2001 along with the matching center channel and bought a pair of wall mounted mini Paradigms for the rear surrounds about 2 years ago - cinema series I believe. I like the sound on HT - it works well with my old but bulletproof Kenwood HT receiver. 2 channel leaves lots to be desired - all becuase of the electronics.

However, we gave my dad a pair of Minimonitors (v4) along with a Rotel integrated amp for Christmas and they are impressive with good electronics. Just need to get the right cables and he should be good as gold.
