In Reply to: Paradigm Atom Version V...Whoa! posted by fmplautus on March 29, 2007 at 13:24:32:
I've been enjoying a pair for about a month now with both Naim and NAD gear and they're just amazing for the money. I've had a lot of well-reviewed budget minis in my system over the years and the refinement in the midrange and treble is miles ahead of anything close to the price. They just sound so relaxed and well, right, that I’m in no hurry to put my Totem Arros back.I don't get the sense of extraordinary extension in the treble that you do or that they resolve more than the competition, but they in no way sound shut in or rolled off. They’re definitely communicators, though. They know how to make music. I've really enjoyed listening to them.
My only gripe is Paradigm's choice of marketing them as playing louder than the competition, or some such thing. They do play plenty loud, but I think most of us will appreciate the fact that they handle dynamic swings and transients with ease, considering of course their size and price.
This is my first set of Paradigms, although I remember auditioning the original Atom and Titan against PSB's Alpha many years ago. The Alpha won me over then, but judging by the current Image series, I doubt that would be the case now.
