VON SCHWEIKERT VR-1 OR PARADIGM STUDIO 20 V3

>I do not prefer them for loud rock or large orchestra, in my room. I hope this helps you.<

Speakers that can only do one or two types of music are pretty much worthless, unless that is the ONLY music you listen to. Just my opinion....

I agree with some posts above. I've owned the Paradigm Studio 100s and VS speakers. With Rotel gear the Paradigms are a great match. If you end up going tubes (ASL, Jolida, etc) then VS might be the better choice.

I tried VS with Rotel gear and they weren't the best match.

canada over china, plus the paradigms sound better

With respect for others opinion, there are few speakers that are superb for all kinds of music. If they exist they are very expensive and not in the same league as these $1000/pair speakers. Some compromises have to be made, especially in bass extension. This is the meaning of my comment regarding musical material and a match with speakers. For deep bass extension using the VR-1s, I have added a small REL subwoofer and it gives me a more pleasing range, suitable for rock, synth and even some classical music. All life is compromise.

Thanks again everyone.... a million thanks for the guidance.
I think I'm gonna keep the Paradigms from what most of you people are saying and I think I'm gonna be happier....
