I am looking at getting a pair of floor speakers from paradigm and was wondering which of these two models is better since they are relatively in the same price range. They will be powered by a denon receiver.
The Legend uses the lower range of Paradigms drivers as does all the Performance models; it restacks the same 6.5" driver in a re-tuned cabinet and uses the Aluminum tweeter. The Monitor 7 uses the newest Paradigm drivers including the newest rendition of the titanium tweeter, a sturdier midrange driver and the new bass carbon-lite driver in a larger interior volume cabinet. It is a better choice than the Legend, given the same price. (I find the Monitor 5 to be better than the seven)
