I would caution that only One guy gives out those rating systems - you are taking the word of ONE person who gave it a class A. Big whoop - if it was a different reviewer it may not have gotten the rating.

That said I actually do agree with your point and I agree with PATD's recommendations.

I happen to believe that one should not just set a big budget and assume it is better because it is $15k. And In regards to the PSBs - I have liked them better than a number of more expensive models. Not the case with Paradigm - but then again that's not the point - the point is that someone else COULD very much like a Paradigm over a triple the price Wilson or Vandersteen. Neither of these are exactly winners in everyone's books either - umm - nothing ever is.

It's less about the price than the design anyway.

Take Magnepan - you probably either love them or you could leave them - but if you love them, as many do, then for $1700 you could get one and like them over any boxed design by anyone at $5k or more. So it's worth the time to try them. If you don't like them - nothing lost but some time - if you do you could save a whole pile of cash.
