Revel F52 vs Paradigm Signature S8

Two good speakers you are looking at there. I much prefer the Sig8 of the two. Not sure you are going to get away from the "bright" sound, though.

If I may, here is another option you might consider, the Dynaudio Focus 360. A very nice full-range speaker that also has Dynaudio's magnificent Esotar2 tweeter in this model.

hi, the revel f52 is much better than any paradigm. the sig 8, or any paradigm is a brighter more forward sounding speaker. the revel is much better balanced with more realistic timbre thanthe sig 8 , both throw a big soundstage with the right gear. the revel has a much better intergrated tweeter mid than most speakers out there, regardless of cost, it sounds more like a planer or point source in that regard. it also has better resolution than the sig8. has the poster who says that he likes the sig8s better actually heard the revels ? is he a dealer for the sig8s. if he likes them better , why ? you should listen to them both on a wide range of gear. good luck, chrissain
