I had a pair of Shearwaters, Paradigm 100's V2 and now have PSB gold. Really depends on the type of music you listen to. Shearwater are hands down (to my ears) better at vocals. Close your eyes and Nora Jones is in the room, almost scary. Soundstage for rock was much smaller, very refined.
The PSB's really rock, truly full range, without sounding harsh. Made rock sound like it should, images good also, but with a lot of work placing them. I thought the Paradigms were more harsh, PSB's sounded sweeter to me.
