and still think they are the best overall value in speakerdom. You can always get better for more $ (both my Revel M20s and VMPS 626R are notably better), but I think the P1 hits the sweet spot for a lot of users. As far as flavors of the month, because you love chocolate doesn't mean you can't love vanilla too! There are lots of wonderful speakers around these days, and I believe that we've been in a price compression mode the last few years, where quality improvement is getting less pricey. I'm not sure the state-of-the-art has advanced too much in the last ten years or so (this may be the reason for the malaise in the high-end), but the sound quality in the lower and mid price ranges has gone up. I expect that trend to continue.
Follow Ups:
I've heard nothing but good things about the GR speakers and the prices certainly are reasonable. Of course if you measure them with the mic above the tweeter the curves might look a little rough...
See graph:These are measurements of the Paradox-1 taken at 1 meter on tweeter axis and each additional measurement was made after moving the mic up 6".
Aside from a little baffle step loss in the 500Hz area the response maintains a variation of +/-2db from on tweeter axis all the way up to 24" above tweeter axis.
If that's rough, I can live with it.
With the new M-130 woofer it is just as smooth but with over 1 full db less baffle step loss.
Nice curves, I'm jealous! Ribbons don't have that kind of vertical dispersion.BTW how do you posts graphs and pix? I'm no good at it.
Are you sure about that?...
