A little out of date but hopefully useful to someone else. I used to think like Soundcompenents. For the record, I Do own a pair of Studio 20 V2 and it is still my main speakers in my living room for over 5 years mostly used for home theater now. My main theater setup is a DIY Eros. I have also a home theater setup for the 2nd home with the Klipsch Icons Bookshelves and planning on upgrading that to the Klipsh Reference Line RC-52 all the way around. I do like the Klipsch for home theater. And like James63 said. If for music alone, go with Paradigm, and for home theater go with Klipsch reference line.
Paradigm Studio 20 v2 vs Klipsch RB-61
Hi everyone,
I'm pretty new to all this, but I'm considering either buying a pair of Paradigm Studio 20 V2's or a pair of Klipsch RB-61's. I wanted to first get a sense of whether or not these speakers are in the same league. What are the pros and cons of each. I think I should be able to get a pair of either for approximately the same price. Any thoughts or suggestions?
I am planning on hooking the speakers up to a Marantz NR1501 amp, which runs about 50 Watts per channel. I realize that this may seem low, but I've heard Marantz tends to underestimate the power of their amps by cutting off the rating as soon as any distortion occurs. Do you think that this would be sufficient power to push either of these speakers? I am going to sick to the NR1501 for space reasons.
