Marc Mickelson, an experienced reviewer, with both The Audio Beat and Sound Stage would strongly disagree with your comments about Paradigm's Signature line. You obviously have an anti Paradigm bias. In the May 28, 2010, Audio Beat Mickelson wrote, regarding the Signature S8 v.3:
"It's fleet, uncolored sound lends itself to timbral accuracy and harmonic liveliness, and the space a pair of S8 v3s can re-create when set up properly is in the domain of much more expensive competitors. In some ways the S8 v3s remind me of the much larger and much more expensive Vivid G1 Giyas which I reviewed a few months ago." (The Giyas cost almost $60,000)
"I've yet to hear a sub-$10,000 speaker that is better than the S8 v3 and I've heard many, many that are far more expensive and not nearly as accomplished in both general and specific ways".
I haven't heard them yet, but I intend to audition them and let my ears draw the conclusions.
