Upgrade for Paradigm Prestige 75F?
Adam, to be honest the speakers I settled on were much more expensive even at their used price. Funny you mentioned it though. When I listened to them at shows or in stores, to me they sounded sleepy or as you say "blended."When I owned the Studio...

Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers??
I envy b_limo's ability to experience all those speakers. More importantly the audible sonic reference he may have acquired. While most of my Hi-Fi speakers systems were bettered by their replacements their sale helped supported those merry-go-rou...
