paradigm studio 100 VS. triangle celius

IMHO, and I owned both the Studio 100 and the Celius, You'd be better off looking somewhere else, ie. another brand.
The Celius had this "lean" sound, and I like warm mid with warm vocals. The Celius can also sound bright if you use them with SS. If you match them with tubes, they're OK.
I switched to VonSchweikert VR4Gen3Se, and I am now very happy.
Good luck,
Tim

The Celcius are supposed to be tube friendly (I don't know if your mc is tube)... can you audition them? I found their highs harsh for my taste (especially with rock)... but I auditioned with a NAD C370, so maybe it was not a good match. Anyway, I'm not sure if this helps... good luck.

I agree with Taat. I think you can do better with another brand. . .even look at psb Stratus Goldi if you want to stay in the same price range and speaker size. IMHO, the psb beats both the Paradigm and the Celius.

Yeah.. maybe you should look at some other brands.With your taste in music the Soliloquy 6.3s will fit the bill.Retail is $3200.00 but you maybe able to get them B-stock for around $1800.00 or $1900.00.They need a good 24 inches from rear and side walls to achieve a good blend from top to bottom.But are more refined than the speakers that you have mentioned.This will give you tighter bass than the 100's with an accurate but full body midrange and top end.These are also more efficient than any speaker mentioned so far.25 wpc will do the trick both SS and tubes work well with these speakers! Good Luck!

Soliloquy or VonSchweikert would be a nice upgrade. I would also suggest that you look into Meadowlarks. A used pair of Shearwater Hotrods or possibly a used pair of Ospreys - both are more refined than the Paradigms.

Have fun!
