Paradigm and Revel


This is my first post. A buddy told me about Audiogon, what a great place. Ok, so I would like to upgrade my speakers. While on vacation I had the chance to hear the Paradigm 85f in one location and the Revel f206 in another location. I like both, prices are similar and size is similar . I have a REL t7 sub to go with either of these. Don' t think I can go wrong with either. This will be for music,not movies. So a 2.1 at best. Music preference is jazz, jazz vocal, some soft rock and whatever when the kids are home. Any ideas or opinions would be great. Thankx in advance.

I've been a Paradigm fan since 1998 when they came out with the Studio 100s.  By the way, I still have them looking for a local sale. I now have a set of Paradigm Signature S6v3 and Studios 20v5 in a 5.1 setup, and revel F208 in a 2.0 setup.  I compared both the S6v3 and F208 in a 2.0 setup with same electronics and they both sound great.  But if I had to keep one and sell the other, regardless of price, I would keep the F208s. They are that good.  At some point I may sell the S6v3/20v5 and get the F206/M106 for my 5.1 setup.
