I have owned Active 20's, Nht 1.5s, sound dynamics rt3, plus many others. In the under $1000 class, the Soliloquy 5.0s(look for b-stock through underwoodwally on audiogon) are by far the best(competetive with the B&W805s). The rt3 is competetive sounding to the NHT or Paradigm, but has a cheap looking cabinet. I preferred the NHT to the paradigm. I thought it to be better integrated, but the bass was not as deep. I hought the Paradigm tweeter to be a little dry, and not as integrated into the midrange as I would like. I was a little disappointd in them. Do check out the soliloquy, the sound is truly highend, and the cabinets are fabulous. Check out Audioreview.com reviews. Good luck, snd good listening!
sound dynamic vs, paradigm
Has anyone out there a/b these two? My brother inlaw has the model 20 paridigms and they are great but there are no dealers in the Detroit area that handle sound dynamics,any opinions or advice welcomed, thanks Nick
