Paradigm speakers are a good value and a good all around speaker. When I owned them I never found the bass "boxy". The only thing was. they always sounded like two speakers. I never knew what precise stereo imaging and soundstaging was until I stepped up. You can get a better speaker used for about what you'll pay for these new. I liked the vandersteen suggestion and the vienna acoustics line really impressed me as well. If you have a big room I would look at Dunlavy.
Speakers to compare to Paradigm Studio 100 V.3
I am getting ready to build a stereo/surround system and I really like the sound of the Paradigm studio 100's. I would be getting the full set (5 speakers + 15" servo sub... the recommended system on the paradigm website). Are there some other brands i should consider at this same price point ($5500 - for the set of 5 and the sub)? The speakers will be used as 2 channel stereo the majority of the time, with surround being not as important. Power comes from a Denon 3803 for now until i can add an adcom or rotel 2 channel for the 100's.
