I think the fact that Paradigm bailed on this market niche says a lot. They have clearly figured out a way to manufacture quality equipment in North America at a variety of price points.
Perhaps they made the push toward active speakers prematurely, but it still really hurts not to have a market leader putting product on the shelves to see, hear and touch. I'm glad someone mentioned ATC here. It would be nice to see them offer some more affordable products (and something a bit smaller in scale) - but as with AVI they're not the easiest things to find for an audition in many parts of North America. -- esbrewer Server: 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac running MacOS 10.5.5 Plugins: Inguz DRC, Sirius Radio, Album Review, SqueezeScrobbler, iPeng Sources: SB3 (2), SB Boom, NAD C542, NAD T515 Amplification: NAD C720BEE Loudspeakers: Paradigm Studio 20 (v.1) Headphones: Grado SR60, Etymotic ER4P http://www.last.fm/user/esbrewer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ esbrewer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12409 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54559 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
