Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers?
@mdhowes  The demo is relatively worthless if they haven't properly EQ'd the woofers.  Without it, you will hear prodigious bass out put with the 120's, but just know that the EQ works really well.   While the woofers look the same, I believe t... 
Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers?
@mdhowes I have the 120H, it is an excellent speaker.  It should fill a pretty big room without much of an issue.  Great speaker, I really dig mine.  Huge soundstage, excellent imaging and the EQ'd bass with the big class D amps is tremendous.   ... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I listen to 98% rock. Given your equipment, I would consider something with powered woofers or more. My current favorites are the Paradigm Founder 120H.  All the bass you could possibly want, powered from 300hz down, and those tubes will give yo... 
Paradigm founders 120h
Love mine.  The bass is easily the best I have ever had in speakers, including some that were double the price.  The built in amps, and just as important, the built in ARC  is just awesome.  If you like the 100's, I wouldn't hesitate to get the 12... 
Paradigm 3f vs 120h
I wouldn’t necessarily say the Personnas and a sub are the better way to go.   Many (including me) do not like the Personnas.  It’s different horses for different courses. Integrating a sub with a 2 channel system can be very tricky, rooms, spac... 
Paradigm 3f vs 120h
@perryleros I figured I would elaborate a bit more. In the past I’ve not loved Paradigm Speakers. There have been some I’ve liked, but found something that bothered me, typically in the high end. But I always like to keep an open mind.   The ... 
Paradigm 3f vs 120h
@perryleros Yes, they are more laid back.  I own the 120s, they are outstanding.  I found the personas very bright.   
Ohm for Sale
I’m interested to see how this pans out.    On one hand, OHM’s are a pretty unique product with a LARGE established customer base.   So, from that perspective there is appeal.     From my own perspective, I think there probably is a lot that c... 
Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused
Congrats on your 23 speakers.  
OHM 3XO Factory Rebuild
@johndel1960  I get the tubes thing.  I tend to like some of that sound also.  I've used a tubed pre-amp with a solid state amp sometimes.  But I just downgraded my electronics a bit to use the cash somewhere else.  So, I am running some Nelson P... 
OHM 3XO Factory Rebuild
I am a big fan of OHM’s. In fact I just refurbed a set of Walsh 5 LE’s using the latest 5.5000 drivers.   In reading through your post. A couple of thoughts. It sounds like you still have the same woofers as they just replaced the surrounds. Wit... 
What speakers have you mistakenly let go and then later repurchased?

@ulrichr  Whatever you like best will do the job.  The 4s11 uses the star quad winding, which can help with EF. That said, those Monster M1's are doing the job just as well.   Unless you need longer cables, keep the Monsters and spend the money... 
10k Towers with biggest soundstage?
I love a big soundstage.  Exagerrated in fact at times.   I've owned a ton of speakers over the years from horns to bi-polar, to semi-omnipolar.  (Various Klipsch, Energy, OHM's, Salk, NHT, Spatial, JBL and a few others over the years) Currently...

@ulrichr  I would just get some canare 4s11 speaker cable and call it good.  If you want it to look fancy, find a seller that puts a slick jacket on it.
