Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference


Curious if anyone has cross demoed these speakers and what were your thoughts?

I have heard some Paradigm speakers. Not GoldenEar. GoldenEar speakers seem to be cheaper and better value but, in the same time, Paradigm speakers are also very good value, high quality, reputation, etc. I think it’s a no brainer to go with the Paradigm. The devil is in the details though, what the amp is, they are both high sensitivity speakers but still, one may be a much better match to your existing components than the other

yes, true the GoldenEar Reference is more expensive. It's apples and oranges I guess, top GoldenEar model vs. 2nd tier Paradigm
