". It just doesn't make sense to use a 6" driver for a midrange and then 2 or 3 6" drivers for bass."Umm your describing the Paradigms - I'd agree on the V2 the V1 was overly shrill and had apparently horrible treble. The V2 I found a better buy than the CDM 9NT just because the 9NT was SOOOOOOO expensive(double the price) and the 100V2 did most everything just as well. So in this regard I'd agree. You'll probably be woefully dissapointed in the V3 which has a hollow sounding effect in the midrange and poor bass and dynamics for a speaker that went up $500.00Cdn?
I do agree with you generally on your take on stacked 6 inch multiple drivers in slim cabinets. Almost none of them are good IMO. However, I will suggest you try some Dynaudio's and PMC speakers as examples of a few that do this style well. I'd suggest Totem if they would cut every model's price by 30-50%.
Your posts have made me want to re-try the Thiels - but you seem to express the limitations I heard years ago with them - so perhaps they're not suited it would seem to amplified music but prefer acoustic - this is fine if you know it going in and perhaps that's why I was dissapoined - I have too much of a wide music collection for a speaker not to play R&R at louder levels while also doing Beethoven and Vivaldi Piano, Oboe and Voilin. Then there's trance music and dance/pop.
