Hi guys,
This post is very similar to one I made in the AV receiver forum, so I apologize if this is redundant. I'm in the process of narrowing down my choices of speakers and have pretty much come down to Paradigm or DefTech. I'm interested in gathering opinions on the models listed below and finding out any information outside of what the spec sheets say. If you have one of these speaker set-ups, please let me know what you think of it and what receiver you have it matched up with. Right now, I'm leaning towards either Paradigm Reference (Studio 60s, CC-470, ADP-470s, Servo 15) or Definitive Technology. The speaker choice will depend on budget. I'd love to get the Digms, but may opt for a significantly lower-priced DefTech setup (7004s, CLR2500, BP2X or maybe even 7006s, CLR2300, BP1.2X).
For the AV receiver, I will go with either a Denon 2805 or Pioneer Elite 52TX.
I have heard both of these speakers sets, but have not been able to do a side by side comparison and have not been able to hear them through the same receiver. The only Digm dealer in town doesn't carry Pioneer Elite. The DefTech dealers that I've been to in town don't have the particular speakers I want to hear and didn't have any DefTechs hooked up to any of the same speakers that the Denon was hooked up to... frustrating. I know these receivers and speakers produce very different sound. The media room this is going into is strictly an HT room... little to no music will ever be played in this room. Approximate dimensions are 25x15x8 for the room.
Thanks in advance and please share some info, opinions, and advice...
