I have to upgrade speakers soon because, as a friends toddler demonstrated, my current speakers are very easy to knock over. I'm expecting my first child in a few months and my wife understandable wants my speakers gone before the kid starts crawling.
Now to the question, I have heard Paradigm, Energy, and Totem and wanted to know if any of them would have what would be considered a similar sound to Axiom or Rockets? I listened to Paradigm Monitor 11 v2, Energy C-5, Totem Arro, and plan on listening to some Paradigm Studio 60 v3 over the weekend. I can get the Paradigm Studio 60 v3 used for $1100 and the Totem Arro for around $900 on clearance and is about the price range I'd like to stick in.
Do any of the ID brands have a similar sound to either the Paradigm, Energy or Totem?
I'm assuming that the Paradigm Monitor 11 and the Studio 60s will have a similar sound is this true?
From what I have listened to so far, I really liked the Totems. They didn't have the bass that the Paradigm or Energy had but, seemed clearer and more defined. I liked the sound of the Paradigm and Energy as well but I would like to look at some ID brands as well but don't want to waste my time or shipping if they have a vastly different sound.
I'll be using a Sony STRDA3000ES.
