The title says it all. Bought a pair of the Monitor SE atoms, but eBay seller states he's currently out of stock of them, and offered the Paradigm Monitor Mini's v7s. Trying to decide if they're as good as the SE atoms.

Hi!here a review of mini monitor(measurements on last page) :
https://www.soundandvision.com/content/paradigm-mini-monitor-speaker-system
I had same problem a few years ago, atom monitor v7 was out of stock but seller suggested mini monitor 7 with a discount. I agreed.
Tough question because you don't have mini monitor in the se line.Personnaly,as main speakers, i will go for mini monitor 7. Bigger woofer, heavier, more input power.atom seare really cheaper, 200 dollars less a pair as new, i suspect quality build cut...
I used mini monitor 7 as surround speakers and they were very satisfying
Of course, in both case, you will not have a lot of bass, a subwoofer is needed.
