Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!

   I upgraded my CD player and the sound I am getting from Paradigm Studio 20 speakers is truly amazing! The sound is liquid and transparent magic...I never heard them sound so good. In fact, I find myself not listening to music but to the sound of speakers, if you know what I mean. Audiophiles should be able to relate to this...

   I am starting to believe the company's bold statement about Paradigm shift speakers with in the price range - haha

   Another speaker I am in love with is Martin Logan Motion 35XT with exotic tweeter that has pleasant transparent magic...The sound is as a whole is also liquid so Hifi-ish. Try to hear them and most likely you too will agree that they are so good that you keep hearing speakers rather than concentrating on music, and they are way below $1000! I think they are a bargain in Hifi world these days.

   I hope readers of Audiogon will agree with my take on the 2 speakers and enjoy good quality for a few hundred $.

Happy listening...

Mista_P5, I will audition more real hifi speakers as you suggested when funds become available - you say that the sound will open up more - can't wait. You have me all excited about enjoying listening even more...

Looking forward to it and thanks for that advice.

Sometime ago we painted the house. My father in law walks in and comments “you painted that wall the wrong colour”. 
For some it’s about the music. Some are purely gear heads some are in it for both. I promote music in my community and host concerts,  host a vinyl night in a local cafe and help young musicians get there name out. I go home and am constantly tweaking and evaluating my system. Of course the goal is enjoying the music. Paint it what ever colour you want as long as it puts a grin on your face.

It's great doing something upstream, or adjusting speaker position, or taking care of room acoustics and have our system sound so much better.An audiophile friend told me many years ago... "the speakers just produces the sound of the signal that they receive".  I deduced then that I can make changes upstream to improve the sound of my speakers. So after upgrading all my cords... I'm just tweeking now, as the cost to benefit is great. Some recent tweeks and adjustments that have produced magnificent results: I got a narrower acoustic panel to fit a narrow spot behind me... dampening material on case cover of CD player, SR blue fuse in CD power supply, CD mat, and speaker tow in 1/4".  My system sounded amazing before.... I am still absolutely amazed how much more incredible it sounds now... and there's still a few tweeks up my sleeve ; )

I think what made this hobby(industry) great is the shape (or shades) to approach to a sensation. I like to think of it a triangle, with different hobbyist like to push (approach) to a certain corner (direction) May it be in the sharpestest and cleanest notation digitally, or fattest and warmest reel to reel or lps, or thirdly, realism, like you were there with the music. In that triangle money change hands. Opinions going back and forth. Adding no two ears are the same now there are millions of combination. There is no right or wrong, just the direction you you want to go, or you wives(partners) allows you, or the monies to support you. Happy listening.....you will hear more when you are in a wonderful mood.
