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...

I stand by what I said. If you are listening to speakers instead of listening to the music, you are indeed doing it wrong.

You can be as self righteous as you want, hidden behind the safety of your computer screen.

Not really quite sure how people on this site can judge others. That point baffles me. Didn't think that was the purpose of the forum.

Gongli3; I've been listening to a speaker upgrade, then new interconnects, new Dac/power supply, new power cables, new fuses, and a myriad of tweaks. Still have a couple more to add. I will listen to all of them together. And what it does to my music.

Maybe once it settles, I will then listen to the music...

Understand what you mean.
Even though it’s the whole of the system, it’s set up and the room, that determines the sound and stage - it is the speakers that delivers the magic. Good speakers, properly set up, let us know how well, or not, everything else is working. Bad speakers - not so much.

I do a lot of listening in the evenings or early mornings, with only a dim back light. Most always, I get caught up in the music and the performance, with little thought given to the system or speakers. On occasion though, I become aware that the little Maggies are still there, calling almost no attention to themselves. I then appreciate that disappearing, leaving only a large well rendered stage and compelling performance, is what they do so well.
I realize that there are many well thought systems and speakers, at all price levels, that can, when properly set up, provide a wonderful and engaging performance.

We, as audiophiles, will always arrange, tweak and change what we have, but lets not forget, on occasion, to appreciate where we’re at on this audio journey and take some time to just enjoy the music...Jim
