- See if you can listen to some Paradigm Titans. I'm about to get a pair
- myself, after listening to various models of Boston Acoustics, Yamaha,
- and (some others I don't remember). BIC's Venturi 62s also sounded
- pretty good. Both models retail for $199. The Paradigms sounded as good
- as some other manufacturers' $300 speakers of the same size.
-
- If you like the Pardigm Titans, check out the B&W 201s. I got them after
- a direct A/B/C between the Titans, 201s and the BIC Venturi 62s. They
- had the Titans nice bass with a really clean middle range and highs
- (the Titans were a bit muddy on the high side).
