The paradigm signatures are incredible. I cant believe they are not more popular on audiogon. They are in another league from the studio line. The s2's with a sub is all the speaker you will ever need.
I bought a pair of 100 V.3's. Liked them better then the s2's. they sound alot like each other, but the paradigm v.3 was more relaxed, not as harsh, and didnt have bumper mid bass that i found annoying in the s2's. The S2's were great when I used a sub and crossed over to get rid of the mid bass issue as I wrote above.
I strongly agree with Sthomas12321, the S2's are remarkable I was using an Arcam amp and now I use a Bryston b135 and WOW what a performance. cable matching seems to be also a very important choice. Every song a listen to is so enjoyable the speakers have hardly any coloration, just beautiful.
both are excellent. If you like the totem sound- then seek out "The One" model. This was the best the company ever made. Yes, it will play everything, sounds excellent on rock music.
The Paradigm is very good as well. Especially w/ rock music. Keep me posted on your buying decision. Happy Listening!
