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.

I would go for the Paradigms they are very good and in many ways are quite  outstanding. The image very well  and have great tight bass.

Right now Paradigm has a 20% off Deal that makes them a fantastic buy.

Paradigm all the way.  

Basiclaly if you want a speaker you will sell after a year or less, get the Revels.

I'd also check out the Focal Aria line -- but with that deal Paradigm is running now, those would be amazingly good for that price.  A steal really.

Thank you for the input. I think with the deal Paradigm has, it would be hard to beat.

The Revel haters are out in force. I would take Revel over Paradigm any day, so to each their own. Paradigm are brighter speakers, so older ears might like them more. They are both good companies though, listen to both before you decide. I own f208s, and they are anything but boring. I have not heard a speaker do what they do for the price, a true bargain.
