In Reply to: B&W 805s or Paradigm Signature 2 posted by gnugear on March 21, 2007 at 12:41:10:
...why are they your only choices?The S2 throws a HUGE multi-layered stage in a good sized room, very believable "you are there" feeling, but obviously can't do it all dynamically (small cabinet/woofer). Still, I was stunned at the presentation - almost Maggie-big, smooth, palpable, but definitely would need a sub.
The Sig 805s are pretty much in the same boat, but have a bit more bass on their own. Still, a subwoofer would be needed. IMO, there is a discontinuity with the 2-way B&Ws... the Paradigms seem more... well, "seamless".
Unfortunately, $2K ain't a whole lot nowdays...lol.
By the way, aren't the S805s a cool thou more than the S2s? That opens up a LOT more...
Either way, there are a million (err, yup... a trillion!) speakers to listen to in this price range. Depending upon your preferences, either speaker could "do it" for you.
Or maybe not... listen to everything you can in your area!
