Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference


Curious if anyone has cross demoed these speakers and what were your thoughts?

we were a dealer for both the founders 120 were the better loudspeaker but took up a bit more space

 

However we never sold a lot of either, the legacy signatures still proved to be the best sounding loudspeaker below 10k, even compared to these two excellent competitor's, perhaps the reason was the legacy's bigger, warmer, presentation, and greater efficiency 94db.

you really cant go wrong with any of these great loudspeakers.

I have heard some Paradigm speakers. Not GoldenEar. GoldenEar speakers seem to be cheaper and better value but, in the same time, Paradigm speakers are also very good value, high quality, reputation, etc. I think it’s a no brainer to go with the Paradigm. The devil is in the details though, what the amp is, they are both high sensitivity speakers but still, one may be a much better match to your existing components than the other
