Timothy Dannenhoffer Bronze Member Username: Twochordcool Post Number: 40 Registered: Jun-05	Posted on Friday, July 15, 2005 - 01:46 GMT Ascend Acoustic CBM-170? B&W DM 601/2 S3? PSB Image B25? Focal JMlab Chorus 706? Which Paradigm? Have you guys compared any of these? What ended up being your favorites? Why? At $600 a pair what speakers would you start talking then? Again, 3 pairs, all kinds of music and movies, in a 6.1 setup, in a small to average room...will eventually get a sub. Fire away peeps!

Barnacle Unregistered guest	Posted on Friday, July 15, 2005 - 03:34 GMT Without a sub the Paradigm Studio 20s but would likely need to buy used to get down to $600. With a sub the Ascend 340s.
Somed00d Unregistered guest	Posted on Friday, July 15, 2005 - 08:25 GMT Audio Note AX-Two - list for $600 but you can get them for less. Very rare. First see if you have a dealer in your area -http://www.triodeandco.com/contact_usa.html You can also get a new pair of PSB Stratus Mini's for about $700. I owned the 2b ( same as the b25 but with minor changes) and the Stratus Mini. The Mini is a much better speaker. Id pick these over the Studio 20's. You can get them for a decent price used also.

Somed00d Unregistered guest	Posted on Friday, July 15, 2005 - 10:46 GMT Iv'e heard good things about the Quad L series. But they do use kevlar, which some believe to be fatiguing. But I do like the fact they dont use metal tweeters. I was thinking about other speakers in this price range, and it seems like the JMR Twins seem to get a lot of praise. Theyre suppose to be a very engaging speaker that focuses on conveying the emotion of songs, rather than detail and sound effects.

Don Kelly Silver Member Username: Donaldekelly Washington, DC Usa Post Number: 284 Registered: Jul-04	Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2005 - 01:05 GMT Another reason to register. I think someone is impersonating SomedOOd and Edster now.
Somed00d Unregistered guest	Posted on Saturday, July 16, 2005 - 04:22 GMT Geez, someone is pretending to me now too? I feel like im in a video games forum or something. I guess the only way to prevent this is to register, or maybe not?

Pity, since it's a strong forum engine otherwise.
