I'am in the process of buying either the paradigm monitor 7 or the monitor 9 for my system. I have listened to both the speakers in the store and they both sound great, but who knows what they would sound like in my living room. Anyway I have heard that the monitor7 is actually a better sounding speaker, but the 9 has better mid-bass. I was just wanting to know what you guys think I should do,the rest of my system is as follows. Yamaha rx-v1300 reciever, paradigm ps-1000 sub, paradigm cc-370 center, paradigm titan surrounds, and paradigm cc-170 rear center. Also I listen to music on this stereo, not just movies. Thank you

Most shops will give you a home trial period - make sure no re-stocking fee.

If you don't like the way it sounds at home, you can treat the room to sound better -

To get really good sound at home, we can treat the room acoustically for very little if we make it our-selves.

If you want to read on acoustic treatments, search the web. Amazon also has books on them. Quite involving step, but qill reward if you want to get good sounds at home.

I have nines and if you are happy with your subwoofer you might want to try the 7's and save a few bucks. I like my 9's in surround set up, but when I run straight stereo, I like them less as they are a bit boomy in the bass. In 5 channel stereo, again, not a problem, but by themselves alittle sloppy.

My Monitor 7's also exhibit some boominess in the bass (no sub).

But they shine with guitars and vocals.

Happy with them.

I'd shoot for the Studio20/40 line if you want to spend more money than the 7's.
