Paradigm or Monitor Audio's?? Any thoughts?

I have listened to the Monitor Audio's S6 and the Paradigm Studio 40's the 40's are closeouts so the prices are almost exactly the same they will be paired with a NAD 742 and will later add the center and backs.. Any thoughts any other speakers I should listen to in that price range?

Thanks for your input.

I would just get the Studio 40s - especially for a closeout price. The entire Paradigm Studio line is fantastic for the price - and I have tried several brands like B&W, Hales, Soliloquy, etc. I love my 100s to death. Good luck!

Agree with Aball. I've auditioned both and prefer the 40s. But, my tastes tend toward the smooth and neutral, maybe a tiny bit laid back. Both are good speakers. The Monitors are just a little brighter and forward. It's a matter of personal preference since any speaker is imperfect so you have to balance trade-offs. Good luck.

Paradigm and PSB are both wonderful values. Most of the Canadian speaker brands are not only first-rate, but have great price/performance ratios. I agree that the Paradigm Studio 40's will serve you well, particularly at a closeout price.
