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

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

I have yet to make an upgrade with real sonic merit that was not accomopanied by an increase in sticker price. Quad 988 used is very good value.
Judit makes an understatement in my opinion. The Quad 988 is the best value ever. Too bad it's beyond Rrumphs desired price point.
