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. 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. great speakers,and good quality closeup shots. I'm very fond of Paradigms. |

Nice setup you have there...is that a Focal sub I see?
I was (and still am) enamored by their speakers, both, car and home audio versions.
Insanely transparent midrange (IMO) and nice clean highs that aren't fatiguing or harsh. And the sound stage they throw is breathtaking. Makes my B&Ws pale in comparison, and I consider their soundstage and imaging to be some of their stronger attributes, that and their bass. I actually like it quite a bit.

There's a lot of manufacturers that make loudspeakers that doesn't have the BOX sound. Aside from planars and electrostats, ribbon driven transducer designs or systems using a line source generally do not have a box sound. Loudspeakers that have very good imaging and wide soundstage do not have a box sound. None of the loudspeakers I collect have this issue. Acoustat, magnepans, eminent technology, ohm acoustics, SLS, sunfire or carver, ess heil, mirage, infinity rs, polk sda, swann, anthony gallo, dali, snell, martin logan, quad, b&w, just to name a few!

B&W do make great speakers. Their 800 series are considered very good. I agree with the Martin Logans. Electrostat speakers are fantastic for imaging, soundstage and realism of instruments. That's why they will always be my main speakers of choice. I will always keep a pair of electrostats with me if I can accommodate their dipole sound. The Paradigms are going along very well at my new house |
