Paradigm's

[Mark4583]

Gona go listen to some Paradigm's seems like I can get a good deal on a set
Monitor 11's for $1100... a pair
Refrence 60's for 750 a pair
Looks like some decent price for these new at a athorized dealer
Any hidden reason I should stay away from these that makes them go cheaper than norm?
Thanks

...for the Monitor 11s. A friend bought a pair for $850, maybe 3 years ago.

That's a fair price for the 60s... do you have your pricing reversed?

If so, one can get a possibly better stand-mount 2-way for the grand... you might give up some volume and/or weight, but a more coherent presentation.

The 60s should be more than the 11s...

Yeah those prices would have to be reversed.

And I would go with Studio 40's over either of them

I'd go Studio 40's and then add a decent sub at some point in time. The Studio's are much more refined than the Monitor's. The Monitor 11's will have more impact than the 60's but for a long term investment (as opposed to the wow factor while trying them out) I think you'll be much happier with the Studio's.

Good luck!

You say you're going to go listen to a set of speakers and that they might be a good deal - wait until after hearing them before you determine what is and isn't a good deal - and the best way to do that is to listen to other brands' similarly priced speakers. Plenty of $1000.00 well reviewed speakers that IMO don't cut the mustard. Some are very good some are about what I'd expect for the money.

Try similarly priced speakers from a lot of companies first to see what you think.

Going to hear those and some Definitive, Klipsch,Energy, Athena's and Polks, all about the same price range, so hopefully Il find some that I will like alot.
