Title: FS: Paradigm Atoms - Cherry Finish
Post by: OldiesButGoodies on December 08, 2012, 09:44:48 AM
I used these sparingly in my living room for background music.  5th gen (V5).  No longer needed as I am moving and the other place has Paradigm in-walls already in the liv room area.  $120

Are they in good shape Pepe? Cosmetic condition? Thinking of a friend that may need them.

King - I think condition is pretty good - but will take detailed pictures and post them here shortly.  They have been in bookshelves so I have not looked at the cabinets for a while.   

Cheers,

Pepe

King - no issues - thanks for considering.  I think this means I need to spin up a third system in the master bedroom or the office.   This was not negotiated,  but I like to live dangerously.   :)

OBG.   Where did you get them? I'm thinking of getting a pair to replace the MG1.6s I sold.

I will report here once I get them.  I had the MG12s which were quite nice,  but these are supposed to be all QR, bass, mid and treble (3-way vs. the 1.6 2-way QR+planar). All I remember from the 12s is a huge soundstage combined with somewhat bitchy speaker positioning (far from back wall).  At any rate,  I am optimistic.  My original goal was to try a pair of Amazing Silvers but that is not panning out so going with this for now.  The Maggies are tough to match to a sub.  I am hopping my Sunfire True can do the job,  but have to get the hum problem fixed.  The new house electrical network seems to inspire it to hum with renewed gusto.   :-\

I bought these from Ty at Tyler Acoustics,  someone traded them in. 

There is a pair in Cincinnatti that Nick pointed out to me,  also for a good price.  The seller called me after I had already pulled the trigger.  Can get you her info.
