No love. Why?


It seems like everytime I mention I have Paradigm studio 20's v5 in my system someone is always trying to convince me to change them. Is there a problem with Paradigms I'm not aware of or Is this just the the friendly banter that exists.

Don't take this too serious just wondering.

All too often the posters on this site are willing to spend your money to validate their own prejudices. If you're happy with your speakers disregard these "recommendations". There will always be disagreement. Watch this...."those who drives a Corvette are idiots not to have bought a Porsche.
It's not one of those loudspeakers that starts you on an audiophile journey of ever changing loudspeakers.
Years ago I bought a pair of Studio 40's(ver.2 I believe)that had received glowing reviews from all the usual suspects.When I hooked them up they were WAY to bright & would never calm down.I called Paradigm & spoke with the tech dept.& was told by them that ALL Paradigm speakers are voiced in an Anechoic Chamber & only performed up to their potential when used in rooms that were either acoustically treated(as most reviewers have)or heavily damped with furniture/carpet,etc...
Most buyers (& even dealers)of Paradigm's don't get this info & thus they never fully realize how good their speakers can sound.They are usually easy to drive & I have heard Studio 60's(V5)driven by 35wpc.Tube Integrated in a nicely treated room that sounded AWESOME!
I had some 20v3 and thought they were ok - right when I was selling them I tried them near field and then I thought there were really good...
