I Ordered Some Speakers :)

[Docks]

Well after ALOT of reading and testing. Ive pulled the trigger on a set of speakers for my new mains. At the end it boiled down to the Revel F52 and Paradigm S8.

I ordered the paradigm s8's in birds eye maple. I am very excited to get these!
If you are not familiar with how they look below is a pic.
Just wanted to thank everyone here for the input and help!

Hey i got the s8 version 2s I wanted at least v2 because of the BE tweeter.
Thanks for all the help and suggestions along the past and in previous posts guys!

Cool, I assume you got a good deal as the v3 has been out a while now. How's the room for these new babies fit into, your going to love the amazing delicacy and dispersin of the Be tweets.

You should have got the Revel's.

Kidding of course and congratulations. Where do you live? I'm on my way!

I think I'm in lust. When is movie night? I promise that I won’t go beyond cuddling with your new speakers. Just don't go to the bathroom for more than ten seconds.

 

[pzaur]

I hate you way more than GO-NAD

Congrats my friend and enjoy. What are you using to power them..but way more important than that...how did you get buy-in from your significant other?

 

[Docks]

I didn't really ask.. I just got them.
When we had listened to a few sets of speakers together, I realized that she also has a taste for a nice sounding sound system. She helped me deal with the guy I was talking to while I was away.
I all worked out pretty good.

I think I just got a semi after looking at that pic. Congrats, you will definitely enjoy them.
