Hey Mike,

What's the 8024? Not sure on that one...

The rest of your system sounds pretty cool. The only thing I might consider is the voicing differences between the Missions and the Paradigms, but I don't have current, and certainly not extensive, experience with either. Do you notice any minor funkyness as things pan across the screen?

Aside from two BFD 1124s, I don't have any other EQs in my system. I might go out on a limb here and say "most other people" don't either. I think some may use receiver built-in EQ if they have it, but probably not an external device. Of course, if you like it, and it's doing something good for you, by all means, keep it.

Now your sub can excite the room much more than your mains. Keep on reading about the BFD, browse the forums here, and I think you'll find that you'll want one. It really made a difference in working out the rough spots of my boomy bass. I continue to work with it; it's a very powerful tool.
