Yeah, I know. Another Help me choose thread. I have done a lot of reading, but unfortunately not any place to listen to much, so if I can narrow it down, I can make the 3 hour trip into the city. I am looking for tower fronts and a center. I will be doing a mix of TV/movies and 2 channel music. Driven by a Parasound amp.
I have listened to:
Paradigm: Listened in detail to the Prestige 85's and Signature 6. I liked the Prestige, but really preferred the Signatures.
Sonus Faber: I listened to the Venere 2.5 (no 3). I liked them, but don't remember too much else.
B&W: Hated the CM series. Liked the Diamonds, but preferred the Paradigm.
Golden Ear and Martin Logan: Didn't like either of these.
Narrowed down to these. Most are in the same price range, so that is not a concern.
1. Wharfdale:
Wharfedale - Jade 7 Floorstanding Speakers
Wharfedale - Jade C2 Center Channel Speaker
2. Focal:
Focal - Aria 926 Floorstanding Speakers
Focal - Aria CC900 Center Channel
3. Sonus Faber
Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Floorstanding
Sonus Faber Venere Center:
4. Paradigm:
Paradigm - Prestige 85F
Pardigm - Prestige 55C
Advice, or other suggestions? I need to research and map out a route.
Thanks,
