Hi, I've just finished breaking in my new Golds. I can not comment on the 100's but the Golds have actually surpassed my expectations by far. As with any piece of equipment details and careful setup provides high rewards to the patient one. A couple of 'phile friends have been surprised by the current reproduction I'm getting out of them using known tracks is far better than what they obtain in their higher cost systems. My system is Pioneer 606D DVD, B&K AV 5000II amp, Marantz AV-550 preamp.And patience and tweaks. My experience allows me to tell you to consider this speakers as a very high performance/cost investment. Happy listening
Paradigm Studio or PSB Stratus?
I have auditioned the Studio 60 and the Stratus Bronze at two different dealers,under very different listening conditions, they seem very similar. I can't make up my mind which to bring home to audition. I presently own Paradigm 7SE Mk III's powered by B&K ST140 Amp and B&K Pro10MCpreamp. Sources include a Rotel RB900 table iwth Benz Micro Silver cartridge and a Nakamichi MB2S changer with a Audio Alchemy UltraDac. I listen mostly to jazz with a little of rock and world beat thrown in. Thanks in advance for any advice.
