Paradigm and Revel


This is my first post. A buddy told me about Audiogon, what a great place. Ok, so I would like to upgrade my speakers. While on vacation I had the chance to hear the Paradigm 85f in one location and the Revel f206 in another location. I like both, prices are similar and size is similar . I have a REL t7 sub to go with either of these. Don' t think I can go wrong with either. This will be for music,not movies. So a 2.1 at best. Music preference is jazz, jazz vocal, some soft rock and whatever when the kids are home. Any ideas or opinions would be great. Thankx in advance.

Paradigm is a great company , I have owned their speakers and Anthem gear.    Good stuff.....   My current speakers are Revel M106 along with a REL R305 and it sounds excellent,  way better than a system it's size has a right to.   I'll admit they sounded a little lackluster with the first amp I used with them and at first almost regretted selling my PSB Platinum M2 which were a great speaker.  Then I picked up a pair of Quicksilver Mid Mono amps with KT 88 output tubes.   They sound huge and have great imaging whereas before they were a little anemic.   I love these speakers but as with any speaker it's a matter of  personal taste.
