B&W 703orParidigm studi 100 or energy veritas v2.3

I bought the 703's after listening to studio 100's. Vocal detail and bass response seemed superior to me, and paired with Musical Fidelity A5 there is no unwelcome "brightness" in the treble region.

i have the 2.3i's and i did compare them to the paradigm 100's. the guy who happens to have a pair of 100's is an audio reviewer of the highest caliber and is the editor for a few websites that deal with super high-end audio gear. in both of our opinions, the energy's won hands down. the veritas are much smaller, but they seemed to be better built than the 100's. they also sounded deeper and cleaner, all the way around. just our opinion, but that is what you asked for. no experience with the b+w's.

If you choose the paradigm's get the upgraded veneer. the standard finish damages quite easily.

hi
I've chosen the 703s over the paradigm.
The paradigms were a bit dry and not as involving as the B&Ws

The bright highs do get much much better after a long good break-in.
I don't have any experience with the energy veritas.However, if you can swing it, get the new 804S's. They are all around better speakers than the 703s
good luck
