Paradigm Monitor series questions...

[oddeoowphil38]

Does anyone like the Monitor 3 over the minimonitor? At this price point, I can get the JMLabs Chorus 706 S for about the same price, and I would probably go for those. TOugh to decide when I can't hear both back to back. Good luck with the move to New Orleans. I've never been there, but will be there in May for a conference. Supposed to be a fun town!

Hello there I am a newbie here. But I must tell you that I really like the monitor 3's. They a have more presence and are fuller sounding as compared to the mini's. The 3's also play a lil deeper than the mini's because of the 8" midbass vs. the 61/2" on the mini's. Just thought I would add my two cents so to speak. Good luck on your descision and remember what works for you is paramount. That is, speaker choice is highly subjective -so if one brand sounds better to you then go with them and be done with it or you will go insane like I did.

I ended up buying the Monior 3 and have liked them quite a bit. I auditioned them with what I formerly owned, the Energy C-3, and the Monitor 3 is a fuller sounding speaker. I also auditioned them to the more expensive Paradigm Reference 20 v3, and surprisingly on some music, I preferred the Monitor 3, and other music (classical) I preferred the 20. Overall, I would have taken the 20 if the cost was similar, but since they were more than twice the cost, I was happy enough with the Monitor 3. My next purchase is a better sub that will really make the Monitor 3s shine.
