B&W 7NT vs. Paradigm reference 80 for plinius mkII

Another vote for Paradigm. I'm running studio 100's and they are fantastic. When auditioning speakers, I listened to B&W quite a bit but when I compared them back to back, The Paradigms shined. I felt the studio 60's kept up with the B&W 604's, and the studio 100's easily matched if not outperformed the CDM series. Good luck

Again Paradigm Studio 100..You won't need a subwoofer with 100 for music..With 80 you might want a sub..

i thought i might need a sub with my paradigm studio 60's but get an amp with a lot of current and you will hear bass.

I have to agree that a good high current amp makes all the difference with the Paradigms. They just keep sounding better as you upgrade your front end electronics. Also, buy the ones with the real wood veneer! I didn't and am sorry for that. Look at it this way, you are going to have them for a lot of years and it will look better (and possibly sound better) with the wood. Compare the 80's and the 100's, you may find the upgrade for the superior bass to be worthwhile in the long run.

Check out Soliloquy's 5.3, 6.2, and 6.3 line of speakers... Great stuff... I've got the 8200mk1
