Paradigm Studio 100 v.3 or B&W 703?

I was the first person in Chicago to purchase the B&W 703's
I also auditioned the 100.3's . I did feel the the bass was much more prevelent with the 100.3's But i also thought that the bass overpowered the mid and high range .. giving it a kind of dull sound.
The 703's are much more balanced and bright. Once they have been broken in (about 2 weeks)the bass is tight and fast .. VERY fast. The mid range is soooo accurate its not even comparable to the 100.3's. As for the tweeter, if you like high freq's you have to get the 703's .. The tweeter is bright and accurate. I LOVE IT.
If you haven't listend to the 703's give em a try .. And for you all that are trying to compare these to the old CDMT series .. dont bother. I feel that these aren't even related to those speakers .. It's a night and day difference.

I called the store I bought them from and there is now over a month wait for the 703.

Clarinetuofm1985, Good call...I guess the B.S. meter pegged. Congrats on your purchase Mark.

Man, how this forum changed from what it was a year ago. All these self-rightious newbies who know everything.... I think I will go the way of the by-gone regulars I used to chat with here and forget about all this new-found arrogance. It has been a few months in coming anyway. Hope you perfect guys will someday enjoy your music as much as I do mine. Good luck adioro and go with your ears for future reference.

I dont want you to leave, its OK to BS a little, we all do. Its human nature. But you cant say things like "Poor Distortion! ...............I feel sorry for him," and think that its just going to melt away. I remeber that slap at me, even if you dont. Look, if you dont like others folks opinions, gear, or whatever. Debate, DONT attack. Calling, either me or Clarine "self-righteous know-it-alls," doesnt help.
