The Paradigm is an awesome speaker. I've heard both in the same room with same electronics. Of course it has more bass but also appeared to have a much better off axis sound. The N804 has pinpoint images. The Paradigm threw a less focused soundstage but sound was better off axis. There was also a more detailed sound with the N804. However the N804 was a much brighter speaker. The Paradigm 100 threw a very easy to listen to sound that filled the room regardless of where you were in the room. I'd pick the 100's over the N804. It would take the N802's to better the Paradigm Studio 100. Which Paradigm model are you comparing to the N804?
