budget speakers

Just wondering if anyone out there has happened to compare the Paradigm Atom V6 to a pair of Rega Aras (slim chance, but thought i'd ask).

I'm looking for a different flavour of sound than the Ara - i require a brighter and more revealing speaker. Does anyone know if the Paradigm Atom's top end is brighter than the Regas? (i know this doesn't necessarily correlate to 'more revealing', but i still need a brighter top end).

thanks!

Get an amp with tone controls and crank the treble knob...(problem solved...bright as fk is delivered...).

On the other hand, if you are looking for a highly revealing speaker on a constrained budget, get one of the GR Research speaker kits such as the NX studio kit and build it.

@blackbag20  Definitely a keeper for me!! I built it with the kit+flatpacks and it came out to 1500-ish dollars. It sounds immaculate with my luxman gear.... I just noticed that they've also started offering it as a fully finished speaker for 3k-ish dollars (must be a recent thing, https://gr-research.com/product/nx-studio-pair/). Even at 3k, i don't think there's any standmount speaker under 10k that comes close to this thing.

I would love to build that NX-treme 7 foot floorstander. But, my ceiling height is not gonna cut it.
