And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it. I am an evil giraffe, and I shall eat more leaves from this tree than perhaps I should, so that other giraffes may die. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 47120597 United States10/12/2013 03:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Oh Paradigm speakers... Nice... I auditioned some Paradigm Studio something or others (80's I think?) several years ago and liked them a lot... Here is something to consider.... You already have a rather nice speaker set up.... So if you replace them or 'upgrade' - you might not notice as much as an enhancement or improvement than if you have been coming from having nothing or a crappy set-up.... So you definitely have to weigh the cost-effectiveness of upgrading in relation to how much of an improvement you will experience.... I would definitely say that you need to find a local dealer and be able to audition what you're thinking about purchasing - so you can be certain that it will be worth it. I used to be really into audio stuff, but now, I just don't care anymore. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47561020 Same here... I used to work for a company that owns/operates several high end manufacturers in this field and these types of products were appealing to me for a period of time.... I have mission m33i towers , I dont know the tech stuff , jus know they are sweet as a nut in all freq , n no tremble till amp overload , tested few times with pipes n drums ~O)7 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47237500 I have some Missions in my basement that I got for free.... Never opened them or used them.... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13967411 Best Buy's with Magnolia Home Theaters inside will offer some higher end products but not if you are talking about really high-end ($$$$) stuff.... I know they have carried KEF, Martin Logan, etc.... Fry's - probably not.... I shutter at that name because I used to deal with that company on the business end of things.... They apparently higher a lot of workers who don't have a strong command for the english language or professional business standards... |

I myself am a B&W fan, very clear recreation with amazing sound staging, they also have in walls, as well as mountable bookshelves. Paradigm sounds a bit more like martin Logan though, and their ESL'S literally remove the room from the equation, and they also have some wall mountable electrostatics. Very bright sounding |
