    Audition: Mordaunt Short 914 vs Paradigm Phantoms...long

    yeah, i know exactly what you are saying. i thought the performance line looked almost "cheap" compared to the MS line, (they do use alot more plastic than other speakers)but like i said in the writeup...for what i wanted them for, the Paradigms delivered. they were more as you said, 'dynamic'...

    Audition: Mordaunt Short 914 vs Paradigm Phantoms...long

    You are exactly right. i would have loved to audition the 906s. however, they both were not in stock and out of my price range. they were under very similar conditions with the same denon reciever. honestly, i believe a second mid-bass driver on the 906s would give the low end punch that the...

    Newbie and 7.1 Speaker Recommendations

    I just went with a Paradigm performance combo: Phantom fronts, Atom surrounds, and the CC-170 center. i spent considerable time looking at the monitor line but just didn't have the money. in my opinion, the monitor line sounds better than their studio line. you will also like their in-wall...

    Audition: Mordaunt Short 914 vs Paradigm Phantoms...long

    Ok - first my standard disclaimer; im definately not an audiophile. however, i can tell the difference between good and bad speakers. as a reference and a little background, i lived in a townhouse before i was married last year where my best friend and i had a pretty nice setup. we had a Marantz...

    SVS PB 10, Hsu STF-1, or STF-2

    Guys, i need some more advice: i am interested in Hsu's STF-1 but am worried if it will be enough of a sub. in my old house, we had an SVS PCi sub and i loved it. so, in my price range, i am looking at the PB10. i really need to not spend the extra money as im also buying speakers, a...

    number of drivers vs cost

    found Mordaunt Short 914s for $379/ pair. they are supposed to match my Marantz sr7300 very well, so i am auditioning them also. Between the MS and Paradigm Performances, which is preferable? not as many people seem to own MS speakers, but they get superb reviews.

    number of drivers vs cost

    tthanks for your responses. im auditioning paradigms next week. i am just wondering if the bookshelves that are twice as expensive will sound better than the JBL e80s. they are $166 ea at bhphoto.com right now. shipped.

    What do you guys think of Paradigm speakers?

    $350 (center/surrounds) to $1500 (mains) range. in my opinion, they are just about perfect (at least for me) in both home theater and for music. i spent two years listening to them in both environments and they are the most neutral sounding speaker i have ever heard paired with a Marantz 7300...

    number of drivers vs cost

    I am in need of those with more experience than i. my delima is that i am forced to decide between mains with more drivers and one with 'better' drivers. for instance, i feel that a floorstander with two 6.5 in drivers, one 4 in driver, and a 1 in tweeter would have a "fuller" sound than one...

    thank you for your responses. i have heard that bostons tend to be very bright. however, i have not listened to them myself. i have used their products in my cars for years, so i do like them. i have looked at the ascends but they just aren't what i am looking for. again, thanks for your input.
