Speakers for newbie

My guess is that if you didn't like the Paradigm, you probably won't like the PSB, as both brands have a similar house sound.

Well, it's true that they both draw on research from Canada's National Research Council, but I think they have subtle but distinctive differences. To my ears, the Paradigms have a little more "boom 'n' sizzle" In fact, if you look at the Stereophile review's response curves of the Paradigm Studio 20 vs. the PSB Imagine B, you'll see that the Paradigm has a +4dB hump at 100-130 Hz (boom), a depression in the midrange from 1200-2000 Hz, and a rising upper midrange and treble (sizzle). By contrast, the PSB Imagine B is practically textbook flat, with no rises in the boom or sizzle regions, and no midrange suckout.

Personally I like PSBs a lot and have never been able to cozy up to Paradigm for this very reason.

I also really like GoldenEar for their smooth, fast, extended folded ribbon tweeter that's free of ringing and overshoot.

Paradigm speakers - its hard to tell. They are not bad, I know this is not right term: but they sounded kind a "muddy" and flat. Just didn't grab me. I liked KEF Q700 much better even though they were in lower price range then Paradigm.
I am sure Paradigm are fine speakers, the way they sound just didn't grab me. They also were missing lows.

Best bet here are the Tekton Lores. If you want to save some money M-Lore is an excellent choice.

Hi there,the b@w p6 are easy to drive and sound excellent.They should sound alright with your amp,throw in a good speaker cable and interconnect,you're doing it, imo.
