Economics and Hi Fi: The Paradigm P95F Loudspeaker

http://www.paradigm.com/images/medium/prestige-95f.png When Douglas Schneider writes this month on Sound Stage Hi-Fi that the Paradigm P95F Loudspeakers ($4998/pair) are interesting, we agree with him. Likewise, the Paradigm Reference Sub 15 ($3999 each).

It's a question of economics and the reviewer.

Over at 6moons.com, Srajan Ebaen writes insight fully for once that various reviewers are both limited by their economics and their ancillary gear when it comes to what they feel comfortable to cover.

One of the most interesting reviewers is Wizard. His High-End Audio Blog covers, when other publications are rather boring, interesting gear. Not bothering with the review, he posts photos, but what is more interesting than that?

Wizard is interesting in that he charges about $100 for his blog.

At Born Rich, they cover an interesting vacation, this month.

2 years, $1.5M USD. About the price of a high-end stereo.

We like the P95F. It's a cross between the SVS Ultra Towers ($999.99 each) and KEF Q900 ($1598.00 USD / pair).

He travels to nice places, takes photos for us of interesting hi-fidelity products.


We give kudos to Doug, Srajan, BR et al, and Wizard!
