Tyler Acoustic vs. Paradigm

the paradigm 'export' (no longer made) was the finest speaker they ever made. as good as anything by anybody

paradigm speakers would be the speaker, if tonal accuracy and flat response is your thing(more old school traditional 'henry kloss style' values)....the tyler is more about imaging,forward midrange(detail), and space. more akin to the 'trust your ears' and measurements be damned crowd. both are different-both have a loyal following

the midrange on the entire paradigm line is as flat as a pancake(measured as such). also compare them to the tyler.

actually loudspeakers that measure well tend to sound lackluster in an in-store audition when compared to speakers that focus on exagerating certain 'pleasing' frequencies. you will find however that speakers that measure well, tend to stay in your system longer and allow you to play all catagories of music and favor none. a well designed speaker can also be paired to a variety of quality gear, without disasterous results. how a speaker sounds to you will also change as you age. The best sounding paradigm speaker i ever heard was a model called the 'export'. to my ears it is still better than anything either of these companies makes today. a classic.
