I understand. Those SMs are never leaving me. They are sooooo much better than the Pioneers they replaced (I had the Pioneers first, then the 62s, and now the 155s). The Pioneers were fine until I heard the 62s...the difference in clarity was startling. The 155s seem just as clear, but with more depth and range. IMO.

Those Paradigms look nice. I knew someone who had a set (not that specific model), and they were very nice. Clear and rich. He played the 1812 Overture on them for me once...the version that included the US Army firing off howitzers at the end. :-)
