Paradigm S4 Signature Series Speaker owners....

Thanks for your response...this is actually a continuation of an earlier thread where I was requesting speakers suggestions for my listening area in my office...the room is basically 20'x11' with painted concrete block walls, 14'ceilings, berber carpet - but my listening area is one half of the room (11x10) with the speakers in front of my desk about 7 feet away and about 6 feet apart (on either side of a bookhelf and basically up against the wall). My desk is standard height (29" tall), so the bottom 1/4 of the speaker (tower) would be shielded by the desk(but that probably is not too consequential). Just thought a monitor speaker on stands would work best.

I've owned the S4 as well as the S2. IMO it didn't better the S2 in any way. I was quite surprised by my findings as I had also owned the Studio 40 & 20. In the Studio's I felt the 40 walked all over the 20. To me, the real gem in the Sigs is the S2 with a sub. Pretty darn hard to beat IMO.

Using the Dynaudio S1.4 at the moment with the Dyaudio Sub 500.......Oh, my! I love this combo.

I recently bought a pair of S4s, somewhat an impulse buy, because I am looking to replace my ageing Monitor Audio Studio 20SE speakers.
Compared to the MA 20SE, which are 2 way floorstanding column units with an even smaller 5.5" bass driver, I find the S4 bass dryer & it goes less deep than the 20SEs. Imaging & sound-staging wise, the S4s are again bettered by the MAs.
However, unsurprisingly, the S4's resolution is much much better than the 20SE, not surprising I guess given that the 20SEs are a 15 year old design.
I did not find any real issues with the S4 coloration wise. It is a bit more forward sounding than the MAs & other larger & better speakers; and this also limits its image depth a bit.
Trust this helps.
