A local dealer I approached re HT Quintet microsystem started steering me toward Paradigm. Claimed superior music handling. Anyone had any experience with these?

Thanks for the feedback (no pun intended). Any ideas on receivers in the 6 - $700 range that would be well matched to these speakers?

Probably 70/30, HT over music. While we're at it, I'm told speaker cables can make all the difference. Does it need to be labelled 'speaker wire' or will any heavy gauge appliance cord do the trick?

I'm putting together a modest home theater and considering the Quintet Microsystem. I know nothing about digital surround receivers or how to put together a well-matched system. Since I'm leery of salespeople, any feedback or info to help steer me in the right direction would be appreciated.
