Which would you choose?

As for INNERSOUND, only 12-18 inches of sweet spot, might feel like your a bit too confined

I loved the Ascent's when I owned them, the guy I sold them to is enjoying them as well. Give them a listen at the very least, you could very well find the speaker you've been dreaming about. They are very capable loudspeakers.

Thanks for the thoughts on the Aeon not filling the room, that was a concern of mine, and another reason why I was contemplating them over the Paradigms, while the S4's are nice, they are small for a room that size. While I do enjoy the paradigm sound (My HT is paradigm studio's, and my living does have S4's), because of the dynamics of the game room, and the fact the ML sound appealed, I figured why not consider them.

I'm not really worried about the sweet spot, since the room has a oversized 8 foot pool table, 14 foot craps table, weight set, and soon a poker table. It's not a room where I sit in just one spot to listen, but I love good clean quality music when I'm relaxing. I do like to crank it up, but when I do with the current towers I have in the room, I rarely go above 90 decibles. Normally loud for me is in the upper 70's low 80's. The Acents are at the very top of the price range I'm considering, I could do a sub with the other options, but the Acents would probably eliminate the sub for a while.

Now I just got to find a dealer that stocks the acents, my biggest problem, being in smalltown USA, my dealers don't stock much of the upper end stuff. They stop at the Aeon's and Paradigm Studios, which makes my comparing what I want tough.

Thanks again
