Paradigm Reference Studio 20s - alternatives?

[pixelthis]

No, I was implying that I know the least of anyone in this thread and pedro78 bought the speaker that I recommended. It was a joke.



You must have some nice sounding garbage trucks where you live.

ACTUALLY I was being mean, never meant to insult garbage
trucks like that.
See the Axiom of PARADIGM below.

Why?

Why?

YOU GET blamed enough you might as well get some mileage
outta it.
REALLY sorry I insulted the garbage trucks, tho, nobody
deserves being compared to the CANADIAN MENACE.
the Canadians can build as many speakers as they want, they might get one right sooner or later.
KINDA sad, really, when the motto for your national speaker industry is that you're better than the CHINESE.

So now you have heard every CA made speaker and have deemed that they all suck?

yes.

There is nothing wrong with CANADIAN speakers if you can't do any better, really, and I had a great experience with some top of the line Axioms. JUST trying to get a rise out of some who think PARADIGM
is the end all be all.
I have an old set of B&W loudspeakers built by people who care.
And got conned into buying a complete set of Klipsch when
speaker upgrade time came around, and the Chinese made
speakers were not of the same q as the ones displayed in the store. BETTER than the PARADIGMS I auditioned, tho.
I PAID over three grand for these, and traded even to get my B&W
set back. A VERY MUSICAL SPEAKER that re-ignited my
love for music when I bought them the first time
There is just so much stuff out there that costs just as much as
really good stuff, so why not buy the good stuff?
Not that that is so easy to do, what with the dismantling of
western civ going on. Sure I have my share of CHINESE
equipment, but the people doing this have no love for the audiophile. CAN'T we have just a few items made by craftsmen
who care that cost less than a MALIBU beach house?
Really. The only hope we have are Chinese audiophiles.

This just reeks of ethnocentrism.
