I spent some time looking over all of the pictures on Facebook and became curious as to the sound quality from the Paradox speakers. Has anyone compared the Paradox - 1s with N1X?
Those old Paradox series speakers sounded real good. The Focal tweeter is what really separated that series from the rest. It was a love/hate relationship that I had with that Focal tweeter. With a film and foil cap on it, tube electronics, and a well treated room, it was awesome. With the wrong type of cap in line with it, a bright room, or harsh solid state gear, and especially combinations of those conditions, then it was often a little too hard to handle.
The A/V Series that followed them, using our GR-T1 soft dome tweeter, was a softer more forgiving sound that worked well with lower quality receivers. But the soft dome tweeter did give up a little sharpness to the Focal tweeter.
Later N Series kits using the Neo tweeters brought back a level of detail and then some without ever being harsh, bright, or aggressive. The Neo tweeters are highly resolving yet still quite smooth.
