Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference

Actually the Goldenear are about 3 or 4 grand more than the Paradigms.  

@ljutic ,

Curious what speakers you changed them out for? 

Thanks

So you still have the Founders? 

@dep14 ,

What are you powering the 120s with? I picked up a used pair at a pretty killer price! Had to drive about 8 hours round trip but worth it. Now possibly looking for a new “to me” integrated to pair with them. 

 I bought a Jolida 1000RC a while back I’m driving them with. The tubes are at the end of their life and just found out one is bad. Not turning it back on till the new tubes arrive. I was thinking a Parasound Hint or maybe a Sugden A21SE for some thing different as a 2nd alternative for comparison. 

Got the Jolida all retuned and biased. Sounds awesome! I may stop the amp hunt for a while and enjoy what I have. Now just need a dac and streamer. I’m vinyl only since I sold my Lyngdorf. 

Well I had (have for sale) Cornwall IVs. The Lyngdorf just sounded a bit sterile with them. Also the room perfect didn't seem to play nice with the Cornwalls overall. I preferred it turned off most of the time which is the opposite of every other speaker I've used with the Lyngdorf. Not sure if it's cause they are horns or super sensitive?

@henryeng ,

I had the Triton Ones for over a year. Not the 1R I know but the Founders IMO are better from my memory. I want to say much better but they aren’t side by side. 
 

@avanti1960 ,

I am going to play with this in the next 2 days and I’ll let you know if I figure it out. Wife and kid out of the house for couple days so daddy can play!
