Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!


   I upgraded my CD player and the sound I am getting from Paradigm Studio 20 speakers is truly amazing! The sound is liquid and transparent magic...I never heard them sound so good. In fact, I find myself not listening to music but to the sound of speakers, if you know what I mean. Audiophiles should be able to relate to this...

   I am starting to believe the company's bold statement about Paradigm shift speakers with in the price range - haha

   Another speaker I am in love with is Martin Logan Motion 35XT with exotic tweeter that has pleasant transparent magic...The sound is as a whole is also liquid so Hifi-ish. Try to hear them and most likely you too will agree that they are so good that you keep hearing speakers rather than concentrating on music, and they are way below $1000! I think they are a bargain in Hifi world these days.

   I hope readers of Audiogon will agree with my take on the 2 speakers and enjoy good quality for a few hundred $.

Happy listening...

Just a guess that the OP is not a native English speaker and if that’s the case then cut him some slack on his wording. We basically know what he meant which is something like I was blown away by the cost/performance of these two speakers and all I could hear was beautiful music coming from them. But this brings up what is so problematic about using words to discuss a musical experience. It will always be flawed in that one person’s point of view and language will always be slightly different then the next. Take for example the latest discussion, listening to equipment vs listening to music. We all know that we listen to sound and sound only so how do we describe isolating components or particulars of sound itself. An amp on its own can’t create sound and so on to all of the broken up components involved in sound recreation. We are all attempting in our own way to use our language skills to describe something that doesn’t even require language. There are no instructions to listening. You are either listening or you aren’t. If you are using words you are using them as a separate function of your mind but we all want and are trying to say something about what we are experiencing. So why not just allow everyone to struggle in their own imperfect way to do something that is in itself a creative act separate from the music.
