Hey guys, I have too many speakers, and no job. That means that something needs to go. I am starting with these Studio 20s. They are black, sound awesome, and have all of the original packaging. They work really well in my home office. They have lots of bottom end in this kind of setup. I would say they are an 8/10 on the audiogon scale, as in there aren't any major imperfections, just a few scuffs that are greatly exaggerated in the photographs. Asking $385 plus shipping from 61820.

Thanks for looking,
Alex

    What do you mean made?? They still do bro. They make mostly 8 ohm load speakers with over 89db. Nice stuff, easy to drive, good sounding well rounded speakers.

    Paradigm is probably the best mass-producing Canadian speaker manufacturer. You can get a very good value for your buck on the Studio series.

    Their Signature and Studio lines of speakers are very impressive. My friend just bought 4 Studio 20s (v2) and CC-450, and I am very impressed with the quality of those speakers. Another friend has a Studio 60, Studio 20 (rear) and Studio center (v2) and loves them.

    I drove these with 4 of the 5 channels on my B&K 7250, and I liked them a lot, I just need to sell something. I can't seem to find the specs for these, as Paradigm doesn't have it on their site. Maybe someone else can chime in?

    From there you can find links to older reviews

    I don't know if there's a V.2 review, buts there's a original version review.
    I had a set of studio 60 v.2 that my son now uses. They sound somewhat forward,
    but they are a good all around music/HT speaker. Hard to go wrong with a set of
    these. The only way it would be better if it was a set of 40's!!

    That's a heck of a deal. The Studio 20 is a favorite at Stereophile Mag, FWIW.

    Again, these are great speakers. I just got a pair of the original version. We hooked them up at a friend's place, the bass from them was simply unbelievable. That was the real surprise. We expected the fantastic imaging, great voices, and sweet cymbals, which we got - but the bass, we actually had to check to make sure he didn't have his SVS on.
