Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M


I am having hard time deciding between these speakers. I can get each for about 6K used. I have auditioned them both at a dealer, and I like them both. However, I find it very hard to compare them given the lapse of time in between and the difference in gear and rooms. Paradigms have great reviews, but can they compare to the build quality of the SFs?

That's the S8s tested in a true chamber.
Docks, they didn't test the other speakers where they produce that offensives ringing either. I can't stand to be in the room with them, and I've seen other people that have a problem with their speakers also. Again, I would go toward a high-end speaker.

Paradigm has always been a mid-fi speaker.Test results that show their offensive tweeters that's not reflected in the test you provide on this other model. It seems to be their design, and house sound characteristic anymore. If you look right above 20kHz, that's where their tweeters seem to go crazy, and get offensive. A lot of noise over 20 kHz here.

Hifihvn, all the links you have provided are for their studio line, which are lower models and do not contain the higher grade beryllium tweeters, which the S8s have. The reference studio line costs less than halfof what the S-line paradigm speakers featuring the beryllium tweeters. Your assumption that Paradigm S8s are bad speakers because their lower line speakers have bad tweeters does no make sense. Do you value or judge the quality of Sonus Faber based on their Toy collection?
Gag1101,No, going by their history. A $99 speaker shouldn't do that. Listen to them. If you like them, go for it.
