Paradigm Atom speakers for bedroom system? - Page 4

I have never seen the Atoms mounted to a wall but the atoms definitely do alright when placed on a shelf.

I just reread the original post. I don't think you'll get "soft treble" from the Atoms. But at that price point it would be hard to find something that fits your description to a T.

Another thing that wasn't clear was whether it was $300 for the whole system or $300+$200. If you have $300 to spend just on speakers, you can do better than the atoms. Best advice I have is to buy used or DIY if you're up to it. If you buy used and get a little flexible with your budget, it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. I haven't heard any diy speakers yet but I plan to start building my own tomorrow.

If you're stuck with a $300 total budget, the atoms with a nad integrated amp should do pretty well. The amp should last another speaker upgrade or two as well.

just a followup:
the bedroom system is up. all my $ is going to med bills, so no new speakers at the moment. i did however set up the advent prodigy 2 speakers that had been languishing in the ht for years. frankly i am blown away by the imaging and soundstage. pink floyd "echoes" sounded like surround sound. sounds floated all around the speakers, and did not seem to come out of the advents directly. the 1" hardwood panels are really nice, too.

i may still upgrade soon, but the advent 2ch system is better than i remembered.
