Paradigm vs. Aperion Audio

I own Aperion Audio for my HT set-up and I love them! I heard the new 632 bookshelfs at the HE show and they were impressive for the price! I've never been impressed with Paradigm, so I would easily choose or recommend Aperion as a superior to them at the price point, but that's just my personal opinion.

The great thing with Aperion is their 30-day MBG where they even eat shipping both ways if you are not satisfied! The only thing you have to lose is your time. I took them up on it a year ago with a full 522 set-up with their Powered Towers as mains. I was impressed and have been a happy owner ever since!

If you'd like more of my thoughts on Aperion, please feel free to email me!

Of course, some of us (me included) strongly hold the very opposite opinion. However, the specs mean little and you should listen to both yourself. Aperion's more-than-reasonable return policy should permit you to reach the conclusion right for you.

Soundstage "Reviewers choice" liked the Paradigm's

I heard a pair of Amperions at my friends place. They didn't blow me away by any means. The finish was nice. Specs don't mean a whole lot, so don't go by that. I have never heard the Paradigm's so I don't have a good reference for comparison.

If you are building a HT, then stick with the same manufacture for all speakers.
