Another great way to add to the enjoyment of your Sonos.Custom Connect is to add one to your computer work space with a pair of powered speakers. In addtion to the thousands of radio stations and music services that you can enjoy around the house you now would have them easily available to enjoy while working or surfing on your computer. Attach the audio output of your computer to the Connect and you can also hear computer-related audio thru your Sonos system!
In addition to Sonos.Custom products we offer powered speakers from Paradigm and AudioEngine, both perfect for your computer audio needs.

It should be fun. Drop by and visit Tom's studio, a hidden gem in a fantasic building. Say hi and feel free to talk with Tom about interior design and discuss all things audio with me.

PC Mag gives the Paradigm Millenia CT 4.5 Stars, Editor's Choice & 1 of 10 Best Computer Speakers!!
When working so closely with an exciting new product and 'drinking the Kool-Aid', sometimes we at Paradigm forget that perhaps not everyone will think something is quite as awesome and exciting as we do. And so, after the introduction of the Paradigm Millenia CT 2.1 speaker system on Apple.com and Apple.ca last month, we have been anxiously awaiting the publication of the first industry review. Last week, we found out that Tim Gideon at PC Mag had completed his review and it was posted to the world. Our hearts skipped a beat as the web page loaded... what did he think? Did he think they were awesome? ...And then the page loaded and our hearts skipped more than just one beat...
4.5 stars!? (heart beat skipped) Editor's Choice?!?! (heart beat skipped) One of "The 10 Best Computer Speakers"?!?!? (heart beat skipped twice!) It's a wonder how we didn't flat line!! This isn't just 'awesome' and 'exciting', it is 'awesomecake'!! (Confused Silence)... Sorry, we are at a loss for words and according to Urban Dictionary 'awesomecake' is described as:
Awesomecake: A situation or occurrence which brings forth feelings of 1)joy, 2) elation or 3) excitement in the one who experiences it. Used to describe those rare situations which are "beyond awesome," and therefore require the inclusion of something ELSE awesome (such as cake) to capture the fullness of just how great and amazing it is.)
Anyway, it sure feels good to drink the Kool Aid and know it's real. If you want to drink the Kool Aid too, read up on what PC Mag had to say...

At $398 for the pair the bookshelf sized Atom from Paradigm is a fantastic sounding loudspeaker and can be used as main listening speakers. If you have a Sonos wireless music system, expand your system by adding a pair of Atoms with a Sonos Connect:Amp for a total of only $897.00. Sonos users know all the music options that are available through a system.
Paradigm also manufacturers a Monitor Series center channel, surrounds and subwoofer that match up with the Atoms perfectly. Add them to the Atoms for a great sounding home theater system.
We have Atoms in stock in both black and cherry finish. Custom Paradigm stands are also available if you prefer.
