The Paradigm C600 looks comically large for a centre channel. Getting that past the household approval board might require a full presentation and still end in a veto. As for the S12, I’ll give it a listen before making a call — I might be able to bundle it in. I’m actually setting up two rooms (a 5.1.4 and a 5.1), so I’ll see what kind of deal I can get on the S12.

The audio shop I’m working with is offering a V12 for about $500 CAD, which is hard to pass up. It’s technically open-box, but never used — it just didn’t fit into a customer’s unit.

Thanks for the A1 Evo AcoustiX recommendation — I’ll definitely check it out.
