I picked up some Paradigm S8’s used - scratch and dent discount too - like 8 years ago. I think they retailed for $8-10k, I paid $2500. The damn things are probably 100 lbs each, cherry finish, 6 drivers.
I power them with a Prima Luna Prologue that was a floor model ($1800), and some PS audio gear (power station and their dac). Fantastic sound. Close your eyes, and it feels like Muddy Waters, or Sting, or whoever is about 8 ft away playing their set. Its just the greatest feeling in home audio.
I keep thinking about an upgrade, but I think Im getting 90% perfection for a reasonable (over the years) investment.
You guys are making me feel better about not doing anything new or spendy.
