hey, Cal! ..Love my Paradigm studio 60's, love my Paradigm centers, but as much as I love the Polk 505 sub in my larger living room, the Polk psw 111 is probably one of the best value's in audio today. Tight, accurate bass, no plosives and no listener fatique. It is just spectacular with music. No knock on Paradigm , they are a great company...but after 40 years in the entertainment industry, I gotta tell ya, there are some speakers that do rise above their price tag-this is one!

Ok, I just read the specifications for the Paradigm Titan. YES !.... Buy this amp...and if you don't like it, I'll buy it from you. I am THAT sure you will love it with the Paradigm Titans !

I have the Polk TSi400's. Doing a side-by-side sound comparison is virtually impossible anymore since few if any stores will carry both speakers you are considering like these. I have seen the Pioneers before and will say that the Polks are much more expensive looking. The Pioneers have gotten favorable reviews in the audio publications however. I have zero regrets about buying the Polks and I paid more than the current selling price.

I purchased a polycom soundstation 2W and was very disappointed in the sound quality so I returned it. Instead I got a Konftel 300W and have been very pleased. Check with the manufacturer to see if there would be any problem with two unit.

I own polk monitors 30 slightly smaller 5 1/2 woofer but 1 "tweeter, from either bookshelf bass will be lacking, these two are close but the primus 163 imo is better very nice sound it is a large bookshelf, solid, heavy nice grill. I really like the primus 163, the primus are a great speaker for the price I have compared far and wide you can't beat the quality for the cost. set up is 2 363, p351 and 2 163 and a f 12 sub power is emotiva fusion 8100 and xpa 3

A bit late on my response, but personally I would go with the Polk. Read up on the issues that these have with Amps and fuses popping and the only option is to replace the Amp (About $160 plus shipping). One Amp replacement puts this sub into a totally different price range with subs that are better for the money.

I have a TX-SR806 ONkyo receiver and wanted to know if a 100 watt subwoofer is good for this? I have (mirage) nano 5.0 speakers and am looking to buy a (klipsch) polk a subwoofer psw10 that puts out 100 watts. thanks

Answer--The 6.0 has a 6" woofer and less power, The 8.0 has a 8" woofer and has 2 more power drivers on the bar and around 400 Watts including the sub woofer total power the 8.0 is by far the premium choice.....Happy Shopping...

I tried this one and the 12 version and both were awful. For a few dollars more , the front firing 475 watt 12 in is way better. I ended up with that and the acoustech pl 200 is amazing for the money. Do yourself a favor and cough up the extra $175 and get pl 200. Its really worth it. The Polk is better of the two you asked about but no where in the same league as the pl 200.

I actually used it to replace the blown sub in a Paradigm active subwoofer enclosure as part of my home theater. Paradigm no longer proved a replacement, and I have been very happy with this Polk Audio unit and would recommend it.

Hey everyone,I just purchased this system and wanted to jump in. I'm using the Sony STR-DG820 as my receiver and have SS-B1000 bookshelf speakers as my fronts. I bought this system to use as the remainder of a 7.1 channel setup. Polk seemed to recommend the setup that Schor talked about when using their satellites in the package as front speakers. Would anyone recommend this setup with the larger bookshelf speakers or would using the sub-out on the receiver be better? Any thoughts? Thanks

None is better than the other. Both units will rattle anything in its sonic path. I would recommend anti-vibration pads on any decor that is vertical. At his price range, you can't go wrong with either. I know from experience that Polk customer service is top notch. I haven't dealt with Klipsch customer service so far.

This model seems to have better sound response and seems to be more eficient. I have it as the front speakers in my living and the rc80i as the surround and it's a good combination. In my opinion. Hope this helps!!

I had a SONY 10" subwoofer that I could not hear either. I now have an Acoustic Audio 10" sub with 300 watts power. I think more power is the key to hearing the sub in a large room. The AA has plenty of power for my 24' x 26' room... and then some. It was only $150.00+-.I think all the Sony subs might be under-powered.Acoustic Audio HD-SUB10-BLACK 10-Inch HD Series Front Firing Subwoofer (Black)It seems like they are sold out for now.

Ok, got a response this morning. "Kirby,You are correct in the speakers being the only difference between these models of Home Theater systems.Bob E.Again, thank you for contacting Onkyo and Integra USA Product Support, if you need further assistance feel free to call us at:..."So there we go. Right now Amazon lowered the price of the 7300 to $550 the 6300 is $500. I read a review for the 6300 that the surround speakers are a little big, which I think I see in the picture. So I'm not sure yet, what I'll do, if the extra $50 is worth the speaker shape difference and the stands. What are you all thinking? Ok, got a response this morning.

I'm sold on the 8060 with powered sub, great for both music and movies. We previewed the smaller ProCenter 1000 and some other larger center channels, but kept going back to the 8060 for fuller sound and more punch. We have a large Paradigm powered sub in the back corner for overall movie soundtrack range, but this improves the action front and center.

Looks like the 6000 is longer (lengthwise) and has 4 speakers, 40 watts each, and no bluetooth. The 5000 is shorter, has 2 speakers, 80 watts each, and bluetooth, also, subwoofer is slightly smaller.
