I used to sell the Paragon when it was new, and it truly is an heirloom product. But most homes don't have the space or the singular furniture style necessary to have a long console on one wall. You can't spread the two speakers apart, so listening distance becomes fixed and if you don't want a chair or couch right there, well, you're outta luck. They do have the big horn sound and the ease that comes from the very low distortion of horns, but you might find two separate horn loaded speakers to be easier to set-up. That said, if you can pay the tariff and accommodate the eccentric domestic requirements, you may end up in love.
JBL Metregon and Paragon
Of late I have been enamored by the look of these systems. They seem to be quite unique. All I can comment on is they look stunning, like well built pieces of furniture. Heirloom quality even.
I am sure there are those of you with experience with these. I would love to hear your impressions of these systems. What do they sound like? Are they high quality systems? Do they live up to and deliver on their wide dispersion with pinpoint imaging claims?
And if they are as good as literature makes them out to be, why don't we see others employ the same premise? Yes there are modern speakers that try to deliver the same experience through various means, why not reflector like the JBL?
Appreciate your input.
