I have been using these for a few years now and have been completely satisified with them. I am only selling them because my entertainment system was designed out of existance. This is what AI has to say about them: The Paradigm Monitor 9 v.3 is a highly regarded, budget-friendly floorstanding speaker from the early 2000s, praised for its massive soundstage, excellent bass output, and high sensitivity (approx. 96dB). It features a 1-inch titanium tweeter and dual 6.5-inch woofers, delivering a natural sound that excels in home theater setups and handles rock or orchestral music with ease. If you are not familiar with Paradigm, they are made in Canada. They are awesome speakers. This is the best price you will find. Currently there is a listing on Ebay for the v.2 version for $475. The only reason my price is so low is that I have no place to put them anymore. The price includes both towers.
