So much for the benefit of direct internet sales without middleman. So much for the great cost/value ratio which endeared Axiom to so many.
Giant killers no more.
The replacement for the Paradigm Studio 100 series is the Prestige 85F ... Dual 6.5 inch drivers ... 41 inch tall, 57 pound cabinet ... etc ...
Craigsub,
That is an unfair assessment in my opinion. To use a "A" Stock real wood finish product price against a "B" Stock veneer.
Yes, even if the Prestige 85 is comparable to the M80 it is probably more comparable to the M80HP. I don't think in my opinion that the M80 is equal to the Studio 100. Maybe the M80HP are closer, I do not know I have not heard the M80v4HP. I however, have the M80v3 and I am sorry they are not superior. They are however, a better deal as the Studio 100's are not a $2000 better sounding speaker.
If you are going to be fair then be fair. Use the M80v4HP in real wood finish which is the most comparable and that is a $3214 speaker against a $3950 speaker. or even at that if quality is not your thing then atleast compare a Outlet M80v4 $2485.
This competes directly with the M80's ... The Paradigms are $3998 per pair vs. $1620 per pair for the M80's from the outlet.
