Help me with this choice Paradigm, JM Lab, Sonus

Hello. I just recently had a listening session to compare the Paradigm Signature S-4, and the JM LAb ELectra 906. Both are stand mounted (Thats all the room I have, and all the money I have:) Both sounded very nice, but the Paradigm imaging was amazing compared to the Electra. I expected the reverse to be true. The paradigm had a little more bottom end because of more and larger drivers, but i liked the JM labs tweeter more. I also am considering SOnus Faber COncerto's used here on audiogon. I used to sell them, so I am "familiar" with them. These are the Home series COncertos, the ones on stands. DOes anyone have any input? I listen mostly to progressive rock, whice has a little bit of everything in it. I have also been known to listen to harder stuff, but at the same time I listen to classical and mild stuff too. I need a good all round speaker around $2500. Help.

I have owned speakers by Paradigm, JM Lab, and now three pair of Sonus Fabers. They actually do Rock & Roll very well as that is really all I listen to. (See my system)

The Paradigms and the JMs may be a little more detailed but will be WAY less forgiving on lesser quality recordings which happens a lot with Rock. The Sonus will give you the best of both worlds with various amplification.

They may not be hyper extended or analytical as they do not posses a metal tweeter. However they will get the music right and will a little more rock friendly.

Good luck..
