I had been looking at the Paradigm Studio 100's and was just about to buy them and decided to give JM Lab Cobalt 816's a listen. The JM's where outstanding! So much so that I bought them over the 100's and haven't looked back. They're a wonderfull sounding speaker, very detailed and very neutral. I'm hearing things in songs that I've listened to for years that I've never heard before. I can't say enough about them. Oh, and they cost $400 less than the 100's
