Newbie here... first post.
Great forum you have here...
I asked this question on AVS, but got little response, so I thought I'd go to the source... a forum full of satisfied customers (or so I'd think).
Foolish as it may be to some, I consider stereo listening to be more critical than HT. I'm not downplaying the importance of HT sound... on the contrary. I'm assuming that most speakers I get for good music reproduction will do will as HT speakers.
That said, I'm interested in the 340's for front L&R, and was wondering if anyone had compared them to these:
1) PSB Image B25 (or the 2B)
2) Paradigm Studio 20 or 40's.
If so... what made you opt for the Ascends?
I plan on getting the PSB's and the 340's and doing an A-B comparison, but I'm just curious what others have done and why.
I can't afford new Paradigms, so used will have to do. But I've heard them and have been impressed.
I may also upgrade my center (second) and my rears (third), but the fronts are primary... as is the subwoofer. I'm deciding between the Hsu STF-2 adn the SVS PB10-ISD. Opinions about these would also be appreciated.
TIA
