So much time has passed that I imagine that you are enjoying the Paradigm Tribute’s with their awesome beryllium tweeters. But I wanted to respond regarding the Paradigm Tributes which I have owed for several years. I bought the Tribute's based on several things.
1)They are NOT rear ported speakers, so they can go quite close to the walls, depending on the configuration. They are predictable to set up.
2) They can be biwired. This is important if you are running a fully balanced differential system, using a power amplifier(s) which offers two sets of connectors for each channel.
3) The beryllium tweeters are extremely nice. Stacy Kent is conquered at last!
This is not to say, that they don’t have a weakness. After owning them for 5 months, I decided they needed a subwoofer. Now, I run my balanced lines through the SVS, and it is a significant improvement.
Yes, they sound great and look good. The slim towers cannot provide sufficient bass, but otherwise, they are outstanding speakers.
