forget speakers for life,I want to upgrade now


Love paradigms, the early studio monitor and now the reference 100's, for the money I do not think they can be touched ? Is there something out there new or old in the $2k price range that can surpass these speakers ? ready to upgrade !! RR

Unfortunately not..I don't think any speaker around 2K or up to 3K can beat Studio 100..
Paradigm makes great speakers at extremely reasonable prices. The only speaker with more bang for the buck that I can think of is the Shahinian Obelisk at $4000 retail new or $2000 used.
IMHO, the psb Stratus Goldi rivals the Studio 100 v2 for $2600 new or substantially less used. Also, the Legacy Classic is no slouch either!

Good Luck!
In no order, I would own any of these before Paradigm
