Paradigm 20: any good?

[Woochifer]

Hi all,

Today I brought them back... shop had no problems with it.

Thanks for all the advice - you really were thinking along with me - RGA especially.

And: I don't know what speakers I'm gonna buy next. I keep listening around and will take it easy.


Regards,

I think the key here is next time you make a decision, you need to try them out at home before you buy. What you hear in a dealer's demo room can sound very different at home. Like I said, you need to double check how the room acoustics affect the sound quality. Bad acoustics will equal bad audio quality, no matter how good the speakers sound elsewhere.

Very sensible advice, no matter what RGA says. Speakers can sound better or worse at home, certainly different. The main thing I would add is that to get the best out of a speaker, it is almost always necessary to experiment with the placement, especially the distances from the listener, the side and back walls and floor, and the amount of toe-in.
