Triangle vs Paradigm vs JMLab


Hi everyone,

I'm going to upgrade my speakers to one of the following:

1.Triangle celius 202
2.Paradigm reference studio 100 v2
3.JMLab cobalt 916s

But I have no idea which one I should go with. I like classic music. Can someone give me any advice? Thanks very much.

I have not listened to the Triangle. But have to the paradigm studio 100v3 and the JMLabs cobalt-s and the Electra. While I do like the Electra a lot. I'm not big fan of the cobalt, it's not as smooth or as detailed as electra 926, 936 or the paradigm studio 100v3. While the 936 is a better all around speaker then 100v3. 926 and the 100v3 are very close in performance with an edge to 926. Now 926 is over a $1200 more. Which makes the paradigm a much better value. Another speaker you might want look at is the B&W 703, very detailed and an excellent midrange.
Of the 3 mentioned...all would work well with classical recordings...I would lean towards Triangle/Jm Labs if it was me...
Have you made your purchase yet? Which one did you choose?

If you're interested, about a year ago I had comparison-shopped the JMlab Cobalt 816S vs. Paradigm 60v2.

Bought the Cobalts and have never looked back. Reasons: liked the inverted tweeter (smooth), solid technology reputation, good looks, got a good deal on a demo pair, and just flat-out sounded better (gee, that was descriptive!).

I would think the 100v2 would have improved bass over the 60s but, since you're talking classical, that should not be that big of a decision point.
