I'm seeing a lot of post on B&W, maybe I'll give them a listen too. It looks like some good speakers used at a reasonable price. I'm sure speakers are like cars... a lot of followings due to brand and personal experience? Like Carver or like a good woman... once you find a good set you stick with that brand

Doing some research on this speaker. I see good reviews. Anyone here have real experiences with this Signature P8 product line from Paradigm they would like to share? I have a set of Paradigms but they are older (Monitor 11) and am really happy with the way they sound. I'm now looking at upgrading and moving the old ones to another room. The dealer does not stock the S8s, only the S6s so I can't "have a listen". What I can tell from the reviews (I think): 1) good dynamic range 2) efficient - can be driven with min. power. (I'd be using the 500t) 3) good for my kind of music (classic rock) 4) stands up to speakers in a much higher price range and wins some listens over (good value) 5) bass on these speakers are much better than my current set (6 drivers on each and a deep cabinet) http://www.paradigm.com/products/products-by-category/floorstanding/signature/signature-series/signature-s8 Would like to hear from someone that has owned a set or has listened to them to get their opinion.
