[QUOTE="joetama, post: 2422192, member: 564641"] Well first of all you can't measure what sounds better or not so you can't put a multiplier on it, you can with a monetary value like dollars. To some people that extra money is way worth what it costs to get a better item. I do agree that sound is very very subjective but you are just as much subjective your way as I am mine. I'm sure that I have listened to just as many if not more setups with a much more technical disposition. I don't know your background in audio but I presume it's much different than mine. Paradigm is a different class of speaker because of the components used, price range, and construction methods. They, to me, are a totally difference class of speaker. They don't compete at all to my ears with brands such as B&W, Dali, Sonus Faber, or Gamut. These speakers are much more expensive, but I have the means and the need for that extra bit. So it's a lot more valuable to me, as it's not to you. We could sit here and go back and forth all night about who is the best and what is a justifiable about of money for a system. To me, I love my $12,000 system, but would if I could spend twice or three times that. To other's I'm just crazy and they can't hear the difference. And I’m not totally 100% and absolute B&W dogg for life. I love them, and do enjoy their product a lot, but would I look into other speakers some day sure I would. Gamut L5’s are very splendid speakers, so are many others. But, this is my second set of B&W speakers, first ones were rebuilt DM330i, and my father just got not too long a go his second set which are B&W 804S. SO, to each his own... I wasn't knocking your speakers, but just trying to make a clear and visible separation between Canadian Gear and the gear from Jolly Ol' England...
