Pardigm 60v.2, Meadowlark Hot Rod Shearwater


or Def Tech BP7002
I am leaning towards one of these.
I want to do both 2 chanel and HT with an emphisis on 2 chanel. My listening area is 22x15 with a 10x10 off that. My sitting area faces the long side of the room.

I listen to a variety of music but mostly rock. Want to be able to turn it up when the wife is out, who by the way is more interested in HT.
Have listened to B&W 703/704, Definitive Technology BP7001, BP7004/06(my local dealer didn't have the 7002) and Energy C9. I liked them all. Would prefer a speaker I don't need a seperate sub.
Axiom, Monitor, PSB, RBH, Athena, Theil and Pinicle are other considerations. I am looking for good codition used so I can get a little more quality for my money. Looking at Rotel, Marantz and NAD for amps. Any other sugestions? Thanks in advance for your time.

Gofish: Have you read the current thread "What's happening at Meadowlark?" ? You may want to reconsider the Meadowlarks. Then again I imagine there will be quite a few bargains out there for those that don't mind the risk.

I just bought a pair of VSA VR4 jr's and am in the process of breaking them in. I think the price range is a little different than the ones in your subject line, but our musical tastes and wives' interests are the same. Many people rave about the PSB's value and their ability to play rock, maybe check them out. The Paradigm's also seem to be a good match, but most of the talk seems to center around either the 20's or the 100's.

Good luck.
