I can't fight the urge, I love buying cheap older speakers and being thrilled by their sound vs spending large amounts of $$ and not being as thrilled.
Picked up a pair of Technics SB-T10 for $30. Technics? Yeah I thought so to when I bought them, could be hit or miss, but damn these are some nice little guys. Very clear, detailed and smooth. Not allot of low end but mid/highs are very nice.
Could only find this info on them and even then I have no clue.

You bought something that is turn key?
My KEF tweeter died, they weren't being helpful getting a replacement, replaced them with these.

I tried everywhere to find that tweeter. KEF finally said they'd help me then they fell off the map.
The Image T5's were on my radar as well. How do you like them?
so far so good...- had trouble tuning it to the sub...
these are my first set of speakers..listened to a few and really like these ones...didnt like the klipsh set at the same price point (i think its that horn tweeter or the the setup/setting were off)
depth is there which is what i wanted.

Paradigm Studio's or nothing </jelly> Owns paradigm monitors Why limit yourself to studios, they're mid-fi at best. /me owns studio 100s wishes he had a pair of magico q7
Give me a good price on your Studios, I'll sell my monitors to Flexin5, and you can pick up the magico Q7 or signatures :p

I'm rocking a set of these atm....
I quite like them. I bought them at least 10yrs ago. Although, I would love a full Paradigm setup.

lol
nobody in their right mind would buy high dollar speakers and be willing to do a blind comparison and listen with their own ears
Define high dollar. I love doing blind comparisons and did it with my own speakers before I bought them, and no they were not my first choice, but my first choice would have required other components as well. Like everything else, you get what you pay for, to a point.
going past a couple grand for a pair of speakers strictly dedicated for 2ch listening is getting pretty silly IMO but who am I to judge, just IMO.
The thing I dont get is you never really see true blind a/b tests performed on these higher dollar speakers or interconnects or speaker wires that people rave about, so how are you supposed to believe that they really are doing anything and that its not just in your head.

Did you do the sub crawl?
Are you running any dsp? Mini dsp with room eq wizard would do wonders
nopes
thinking it the shape of the room messing it up...
its T shape and where the top of the T is where the monitor is..
