I recently was shopping forspeakers and focused on PSB Stratus Goldi vs. Paradigm Reference 100 vs. NHT 2.9, all at about the same price point. All are STEREOPHILE Class B. What I found was that all three sounded quite different and all three sounded quite good. The differences were in shading. The NHT's had the more brilliant high end, the Paradigms the nicest bass and the PSB's the best mid-range. All were excellent speakers, though, and I would have been happy with any. I ended up letting the cosmetics (spouse) decide the issue. You really cannot go wrong with the brands you mention.
PSB vs. Paradigm vs. B W
I am a "newbie" to hi-end audio. I plan to buy a B&K AVR-307
in the near future. My question is what speakers to pair
with this amp. I like the sound of the Paradigm Reference series, the B&W DM 603's, and the PSB Image line. The real problem is that for the same money, I can get the entire Image Home theater set-up, as compared to just the L&R main
speakers in the Paradigms or B&Ws. Any advice from the more
experienced out there?
