What's the best price anyone has found on the internet for these? How about the best price when negotiating with a store salesperson? Is it a certain percentage of the store asking price?
I'm not sure what you mean Nuck. Are you asking among the Studio's or Paradigms in general.
If the Alpha line was in relation to PSB products what it is today the Paradigm Performance series is their equal. The Paradigm Focus is a very nice budget speaker. I must say though that I believe there are better speakers than Paradigm below the Studio's. The Focal JM Lab Chorus range for instance is a fabulous speaker line.
