Hi guys,
These are my speakers now, Paradigm Studio 100 V2, B&W DM 602 S2, Monitor Audio Silver S2 and Boston Acoustic CR-6.
I love speakers and would like to get opinions about the models I currently own.
Which of them could be a keeper for you ???
If you are familiar with some of them, give me your opinion.
Thanks.

Nice speakers!

My opinion is that you should sell all of them and with the money you can build even better ones, or have a good start toward a pair of Harbeth speakers.

If you follow my advice, your love for speakers will not only continue to grow, but will ultimately blossom.

Best Regards,

Hi. I've owned the B&Ws and the Silver series predecessor to the MAs. I haven't heard the other two. The B&Ws were with me for about a month and I got rid of them. Just too ... dry ... for me. Kinda flat. Accurate but lacking enthusiasm (without being a cartoon of a speaker). I ended up buying B&W DM-302s, which I much preferred. Any bass they gave up to the bigger box of the 602s was more than made up for in soundstage and coherence.

But eventually I sold the 302s and kept the Monitor Audio Silvers (3s; a bit bigger than the S2s you're considering). After listening to the 602s for a bit, the Silvers just sounded more musical to me. I think the 302s had a slightly better soundstage, but for sheer listening enjoyment, the MAs fill the bill for me.

Of course, everyone's ears are different. Listen to all of them and buy the ones you like. I'm sure there are people out there cringing at my preference for the MAs. So be it. I'm happy. :)

Using MA Sliver RS6. For me "sheer listening enjoyment" +1.

Your kit, your speakers, your room. What's your opinion? With careful positioning and setup, pick the pair that "do-it" for you and sell the rest. Which will give you the funds and space to try even more speakers :thmbsp:
 
You're a brave person to ask that question around here.. Hope you have really thick skin, because unless you have "the same speakers I do" Yours just aren't gonna cut it..

Very astute observation. Same goes for amps and receivers.

I still love the helpfulness of this site. I just don't go fishing for opinions anymore.
