speakers with Parasound?

i did a similar search for a near-wall bookshelf--best i heard (within the realm of reason) was the paradigm s1, which was impervious to placement. the rega rs1 was much cheaper and surprisingly good as well. the focal suggestion is also good.

A speaker company that has a great rep is Ascend Acoustics. Their best bookshelf was the Sierra 1, coming in several handsome finishes and starting at about 900. But they just released a new model that surpasses the '1', called the "2"(hey, no one said they were creative in the name department) for around 1500.

The unique thing about this company is it's based around an internet direct model, so you don't have to pay a middle man. The "1" can be has an option for 2 different tweeters, one a ribbon type which has more extension. I've got a Parasound amp, and I'd think either way would work well with Parasound, it just depends on your tastes.

I've got mainly Paradigm speakers, and though excellent sounding, you have to spend a lot more to get a decent bookshelf from them.

Thanks all for the fantastic leads for my quest for small- easy-to-drive-easy-toplace speakers. Much appreciated!

You will not find another site with as many options.
But there are a few sites like:

canuckaudiomart dot com
audioasylum dot com
audiocircle dot com

Make sure that the speakers that you get have at least 89db sensitivity. That way your will have gobs of power with that amp to drive the speakers and they will sound dynamic.

Good luck.

Good luck.
