"a stylish and affordable launch into the world of high-performance audio"

OK, is there such a thing as "too good to be true"?  They're definitely gorgeously beautifully looking and certainly at least as good looking as any "high-end" speakers!  But look at the price!  Only $374.00!!!  Can you have the cake and eat it too!  There has to be a catch!  Is there a devil lurking somewhere here!  I mean a high-end ScanSpeak woofer is already at least $370.00 in cost.  And that does not take into account a tweeter, and xover inductors, capacitors ... and so on.  And what do you tell people who paid $200K for a Wilson?

I dont see any scanspeak woofers there. High end audio is overpriced from the start. Every so often you get companies that dont overprice. Thats how you get $374 high end speakers.

Ugh.  It's a Paradigm.

Also: resembles 279 other generic tower speakers.

Also: that's $ each.

At least what you said is not science fiction :-)

I used "ScanSpeak" as a matter of comparison, that is a decent ScanSpeak woofer is already 370 bucks.  

For example, there are five drivers in that speaker above.  375/5 = 75
But of course you have to take into account the cabinet cost, paint, marketting ...

It seems like you're saying Paradigm are all "craps"?  Can that be a fair assessment?  To label something like that to the entire company?
