Paradigm vs. Aperion Audio

Soundstage "Reviewers choice" liked the Paradigm's

I heard a pair of Amperions at my friends place. They didn't blow me away by any means. The finish was nice. Specs don't mean a whole lot, so don't go by that. I have never heard the Paradigm's so I don't have a good reference for comparison.

If you are building a HT, then stick with the same manufacture for all speakers.

Thanks for the responses guys! Keep em coming! :)

Don't know anything about the 632. Still have a pair of Aperion 502b's in one of my systems. The 502's really are a midrange speaker, that ignored the extreme highs and lows and concentrated on the vital midrange.

On certain tracks the midrange comes surprisingly close to my $3000 Focus Audio FS688's!

I have a pair of Monitor 7's and their 10 inch sub - very musical. I listened much further up the food chain and finally decided that $5000. (or an extra $3500.) was not enough to justify the extra 5% of listening. When paired with a good amp like my Cary Rocket 88 I really feel they have more going for them than the Joseph Audio's I heard paired with an Arcam FMJ A23.

Thanks guyse for the help!
