They look very nice. Are you happy with the "new" speaker setup?

They look very nice. Are you happy with the "new" speaker setup? very the only thing I question is getting the 60's instead of the 100's but with my subs I don't think its a big deal . I'm trying to get everything how I want it before running ARC |

Do you plan to cover up the wire or run them inside your wall? I ran mine inside the wall and it was fairly easy...Im not even a handyman  |

Unless you have a very large room, you made the right move getting the 60s instead of the 100s, especially since you have 2 15" subs to handle the bottom octaves. The Studio 60s have always been the "sweet-spot" in Paradigm's Studio Series. Ya done good, matey, don't 2nd guess yourself....
BTW, you have a very well-balanced system. Now it's time to start loading up on top-quality source material, sit back, and enjoy that rig!!

  As you can see my problem is the ledge , now below the ledge about 1ft off the floor I have junction boxes wired for rear surrounds . I put these in when the house was being built because my surrounds sat on stands . Right now I have the wires running down the wall and hooked to these boxes one on each side of couch . |

First, take a big stick and whack the person in the head that had the "ledge" idea.  Second, looks like you have two choices. You can use wiremold on your wall which won't look very good or you can do it the right way and just cut into your drywall at the ledge area and make a whole to route the speaker through the wall from your juction box, through the ledge area(behing the drywall)to a hole behind the speaker. Usiing a good fish tape of course. Then patch the drywall and paint. Peace of cake!  |

Peace of cake! the ledge is there because the cement wall had a ledge I tried to drill a hole behind the ledge I hit cement, I'm at the point of just running some wire in a white jacket along the edge of the ceiling to the other side of the room . It sucks but I already tore the trim off the front of the ledge and pried up the board . Its turning into a nightmare and I dont want to do more damage |

The only other thing I can think of would be to drill down through the back of the ledge close to the concrete and run wire to that point and then straight back into the upper wall and on up to your speaker. You would have a little "elbow" of wire showing at the ledge but the rest would be in the wall. |

I agree getting the 60's in your room was the best idea. As awesome as the 100's are, you won't be using what makes them an upgrade over the 60's anyways with your subs.
