If you can build a kit I suggest you look into the North Creek Spirit or Okara in a Lee Taylor cabinet.

I think that you should listen before making a decision . In my experience , the VS , Usher and Paradigm all have a different sound ! I have auditioned the Usher standmount , 520 I believe , and the next in line floorstander , maybe 6311 . Both of these were quite glaring and in your face . Not bright or forward just kind of wow here we are ! I'm not saying that they were bad so no flames please ! Just the polar opposite of VS . On the same equipment and room , I auditioned the VS VR2 and 4jr. More subdued and laid back . I have also auditioned several of the Paradigm standmounts , at a different shop , and found them to be sort of in the middle between the Usher's and the VS's . Good luck . |
Hi, I don't mean to grab hold of the thread but I have a similar requirement. I have similar need for a bookshelf speaker as the original poster, but perhaps even more limited space requirements. Mine will need to fit into our entertainment center shelf, which is only about 13 inches high. I have Paradigm floor speakers now, and had hoped to move to a used pair of Paradigm Studio Reference 20s, but they are a couple inches too tall (doh). Any one have suggestions for smaller bookshelf speakers that fit into the same sort of budget mentioned above? Thanks, Tim |
