Paradigm Millenia 20 Trio LCR Speaker System - Review
If you are looking for new set of loudspeakers for your home theater, you might want to check out the stylish, and great sounding Paradigm Millenia 20 Trio LCR Loudspeaker. This speaker system combines all three front channel speakers (left, center, and right) into one 41-inch long housing that is attractive and can be either table or wall mounted. The design of the Trio is intended to complement flat panel LCD and Plasma televisions and can be used alone, or combined with a subwoofer and/or a set of rear surround speakers. The left, center, right sound image is wider that you would think and the sound quality is very good for this type of speaker design. For more details, check out my Short and Full Reviews, and my Millenia 20 Trio Photo Gallery. Photo (c) Robert Silva - Licensed to About.com
