Picked up some Paradigm Studio 20 v5's today The finish on them is very good. I have owned a few brands of speakers now, from $50 - $5000. These are put together very well, attention to detail is fantastic.  Tweeter that is gold plated   7 Inch midrange  Gold Phase Plug  Port    My Listening room   After coming from Martin Logans, it was difficult for me to find speakers that don't have a "box" sound. These speakers took me by surprise as I was looking at Dynaudio Focus range, but the supplier didn't have any in stock. Great little speakers that perform well over their price. |

Congrats on the speakers. I love that Paradigm sound!
BTW the stands and speakers appear short in that last pic... was the pic squeezed vertically?

Very nice looking speakers. Gotta like the look of Paradigm Studios. The drapes... well, that's another story. |

The stands are short, not quite 450 They are from an old set of mid-size speakers I had. I am looking to get the Paradigm stands. They secure the speakers via allen keys and have cable management. |

Are you saying your speakers are fat? ;D ;D
Most people in the U.S. don't know what 450 tall is. You might want to tell them it is about 18 inches. Oh, I guess I just told them.
Anyway nice looking speakers, enjoy them.

Nice system, dude! You need to get a bigger TV...
One more thing: try moving the 20s just a bit further apart and then toe them in about 15 deg. or so. This may help to give you better imaging of the soundstage. It's worth a try and doesn't cost a dime...
