Current version of Paradigms S2v2 finished in piano black. Excellent condition with a couple hundred hours on them. My system is in a very small room and these are a bit large for my needs. No boxes, must be picked up in Baltimore. Stand mount speakers really don't get much better than these. Would consider trade for a [very] good MC phono preamp. Current retail in this finish is just under 3K. Price is firm.

Great speaker for a fantastic price. New drivers in the V2, including the pure Berylium tweeter,
are a vast improvement over the V1, which was a S'phile Class A monitor in '05. I have a pair
in bird's eye maple, which have replaced GMA Europas in my system (McAlister SE-44, Blue Circle BC21.1,
Stello DA100 Sig. and CDT 100 via I2S, TG Audio cables and ICs, VH Audio Flavor 4 PCs).
The S2V2 possess many of the qualities of the Europas, including their clarity, coherence, and pinpoint imaging, but the Paradigms allow me to listen deeper into the soundstage, with a greater goosebump factor. Good luck with the sale.
