Paradigm and Revel

One day long ago, as a kid in summer I was sitting around the house pouting and told my Grandmother I was bored .
Now Granny only had a 2nd grade education, was born and bred in the Gorbel's of Glasgow , worse slums in Europe .
She looked at me with her gray-eyed hard as steel eyes and said," If you are bored its because you are boring" .

She said a lot of things like that, smartest women I ever met .

I have not heard a paradigm I liked! I have liked all the revel speakers I have heard. IMO, the studio and salon II speakers are very very good and some of the best speakers for their price and above. 
From what I have seen at friends or in stores, paradigms are normally teamed up with mid fi equipment. Revel along with other makes usually recommend higher quality equipment 
just my opinion!

Thank you Bob!

I think I just need to experience more speakers. Ultimately it comes down to listening.  I'd certainly get the Harbeth or Magicos I mentioned above if they sound great to me even just as 2 way speakers. My current Paradigm Studio 100 V5's cover the full bandwidth pretty well. They can only accommodate an 8" woofer so don't go extremely low nor are they tight in the bass at least with my tube equipment but they are a 5 way speaker.

I listened to a lot of speakers when upgrading mine this past year.  Spent a lot of years in the industry. Bottom line, Revel F206 + good sub like a JL Audio E-110 or better, is simply FANTASTIC.  Most experienced listeners realize that virtually no speaker under $10K/pr can do the bottom octave of bass really well, so the F206 + the E-110 is an INCREDIBLE value for well under $5k.  I have experimented with a crossover point and find that 60hz to 80hz is the sweet spot for smooth seamless transition into that bottom octave!  I'm done!  I have a broad smile each and every time I listen to this combo.

Paradigm is a great company , I have owned their speakers and Anthem gear.    Good stuff.....   My current speakers are Revel M106 along with a REL R305 and it sounds excellent,  way better than a system it's size has a right to.   I'll admit they sounded a little lackluster with the first amp I used with them and at first almost regretted selling my PSB Platinum M2 which were a great speaker.  Then I picked up a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono amps with KT 88 output tubes.   They sound huge and have great imaging whereas before they were a little anemic.   I love these speakers but as with any speaker it's a matter of  personal taste.
