Paradigm Online Retailer?

jmanlp · Dec 1, 2004

Is there anywhere I can buy Paradigm monitor series online? I really like how they sound, but I can't stand the snooty salesman at my local retailer, and the next retailer is 2hrs away (and he might be snooty too). I wouldn't mind, but hes trying to push all his NAD and Marantz electronics. And went so far as to say anything I hook up to my HK AVR-435 is going to sound like crap cause I dont have a NAD integrated amp. How do these people even make sales? I maybe a newb compared to him when it comes to audio, but seriously I want to be treated with some respect when Im going to lay down a couple grand on something. Ok well thats my rant, anyway I'm just looking for a respectable place to buy them online, if there isn't one I may even consider chaning speakers (its that bad).

There are no online authorized Paradigm dealers/retailers (prohibited by Paradigm). However, you can get great deals from Audiogon or e-Bay (new & used). Many of these ads selling "used but almost new" are those upgrading to new higher-end Paradigms. Since June '04, I bought all my Paradigm Studios "New-In-the Box" from both sites but it took patience (almost three months). I got lucky and overall saved 33% from MSRP. Good luck.
