Vienna acoustic vs Thiel vs ProAc vs Paradigm

Hello everyone,

I am considering a pair floor standing speakers to upgrade.

1.Thiel 2.3
2.ProAc response D15
3.Vienna acoustics Mozart
4.Paradigm studio 100v2 or v3
5.Triangle Celius 202

Electronics using:

Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated
Musical Fidelity A3.2 CDP
JmLab Cobalt 816s(Just sold)

Classical music is my favorite. I like neutral, balanced, "real" sound. Can anybody give me advice? Thanks.

I would stay away from Paradigm if you're after true music reproduction. Any of those other four you mention are just fine.

In my opinion, Paradigm is the Bose of true hifi loudspeakers. They are good only if you like to your music to turn into wake up call for the entire neighborhood.

Vienna's are very articulate beautiful sounding speakers. I would try to buy a pair of Beethovens SH vs. the Mozarts. I made the upgrade and it was a huge difference.

I am not quite as severe as Andy2 in my view of Paradigm, but I think the other speakers are a class above it in terms of sound quality.
