Default Where did you buy your stuff from?

I'm thinking about getting the 605 or 705. Possibly some speakers too but need something small.

Default It's also more expensive. When I auditioned Paradigm Reference speakers a number of years ago...

I've prefered the way Paradigm speakers sound to similar sized (as in drivers) B&W speakers that cost twice as much.

Default Once you start dealing with high end equipment, how much more are you willing to spend?

For that marginal improvement?

Of course the improvements are subjective from person to person.

Yup. I know someone who's sound setup costs around $500K.

Default B&W aren't a good representation of British speakers

If I were trying to push you towards domestics in a domestic vs. Brit A/B, B&W are the ones I'd use.

Agree. I was simply implying that for their price Paradigms are hard to beat.

Default Re: Yes but in a bulk form. However, my partner can custom make them for you to your needs.

I need one(1)... FP-20A(G)

2 sets of interconnects with cable FA-220(5 feet) terminated RCA to RCA FP-106(R)
