Paradigm vs. PSB

There is an older post here that you may want to see. Paradigm makes excellent speakers but the Stratus line of PSB is hard to beat. I was in same situation and chose the PSB. I was not able to hear them side by side as since they are in a similar niche, few dealers carry both lines. I found that in general the PSB were more of a relaxed and slightly relaxed but that the Paradigms have a slight edge in the bass response. I think it was Sensible Sound that has reviewed the Stratus Gold and the Paradigm 100's and they said that yes the Stratus speakears were more accurate but not by a wide margin and they are more expensive than the Paradigm. I however felt the Stratus was worth the money.

In my previous note please read PSB favours 150 watts @ 4 ohms. NOT B&K. Sorry

pardigm wins with monitors-psb with floor standers

I just heard the Stratus Silvers and was not impressed. The treble was too laid back and i could not hear the drums.. The Paradigms are next on my list.
