Paradigm founder 100f vs martin Logan XT F200

[Udnrbru1237]

I have the opportunity to purchase The Martin Logan 100F open box for $3500 off facebook marketplace place, but I also found some Paradigm Founder 100f for $3500 on Us audio art. So basically the same price, but may have to pay shipping for the 100F’s. I have a Marantz model 30 that I play 2 channel vinyl, TV and Apple music through Sonos streamer with musical fidelity DAC. Can someone give their experience with the Martin Logan’s Vs the paradigms. i have heard the martin Logan’s and I have paradigm in walls n my home theater, but have never actually heard the 100F’s. An info should be helpful. i also saw some golden ear T66’s I am interested in also. May like the integrated subs. Anyone with first hand knowledge that can lend some opinions would be much appreciated.

I'd prefer these if you're purchasing used.

Dynaudio Contour S5.4 Speakers: Special Order Piano Clear Lacquer finishes

Special order of Dynaudio Contour S 5.4 speakers in excellent condition except plinths. Replaced to a pair of custom black wood stand but still keep the original one upon buyer's request.Very rare Piano Clear Lacquer finishes and no visible signs. This is the top of the Contour line. No box...

Older but measure well (better than the Logan and of those choices with the Paradigm being as close) and are in great condition with upgraded lacquer finish.

If those are your only two choices, I'd take the Paradigm.
