Recently got back into the Home Audio game.

Want a pair of tower speakers.

Want to hear from folks who are happy with theirs

Paradigm studio reference.  I absolutely love mine.

If $1500 a speaker is in your price range.

Higher, KEF.

Need a sub?  Only svs for me.

I purchased a set of Focal 1028 towers last summer. Love them in my multi-use living room. I don't have any acoustic treatments, and only driving with a receiver, but they sound good with music/movies to me. They replaced a set of ten-year-old B&W 684s which still sounded good, but I just wanted to try something new.
Ignore the positioning of the speakers. Have a toddler to contend with.

Just looking for some opinions before i pull the trigger. Its difficult to go and listen to a set nowadays since all the Home Audio stores are almost extinct

I love my Rocket 850 towers.

You can't get them anymore as the company went bankrupt and the owner ended up in prison!

Towers + an end table sized SVS subwoofer will do you good.

I have the same speakers as part of my HT. Look at adorama for serious discounts. Do not rush a purchase.

In addition to two SVS subs, I run their ultra tower speakers as well. Love them.

Buy these.  Now.  They are a steal at this price.  They show OOS but will be shipping near Christmas.  I bought mine at 499 each and am super happy.  I don't think they can be touched for under 2000/pair.

JBL Studio 590

Paradigm Studio 100 V5


They are discontinued now, so you'd have to find them used.  I think they are a good tower speaker for their price range.
