Prestige 65F
Listened to a pair of the 65Fs today. Driven by a Sony ES surround receiver being fed by a Heos running Tidal, so not the best front-end. However, was set up with a pair of B&W 804D3s and had electronic switching between the two, so easy to A/B. Bottom line is that while they were 'different', the 804D3s were not clearly better at 2.5X the cost. The sax sounded better on the B&Ws while the piano was better on the Paradigms. I will go back after the new year to compare after the 804D3s are fully broken-in (only had ~24hr on them). May even take my E-270 up for same.
