Best speaker out of this 3

[El Puerco Volante]

Hello,

I'm building a second home HIFI system (for a bedroom). It's around 80 square meters.

I'm choosing between 3 speakers (from cheapest to most expensive):

1) Paradigm Monitor SE 6000F
2) Focal Aria 948
3) GoldenEar Triton Two+

The Paradigm is the cheapest, with Focal being 3x and GoldenEar x4 more expensive.

I don't listen at high volume, but I listen a lot and like the best quality.

What would be your pick ? The speakers will be driven by Technics SU-G700

Thanks !

It's all going to depend on how well these speakers will work in your room.
Nobody here can tell you which will be best for you, unfortunately.

That's quite some bedroom ... but only you will be able to tell what sounds best in it.

I have only just spotted the size of that bedroom......

Well, good action needs space! 😉
Seriously, no suggestion at all ? I'm leaning towards Tritons, as the reviews are very good. Can't really get any of those to my bedroom to listen in advance, so I'm trying to take a half - educated guess

All good speakers, it all down to what you like. Is there an opatunity to borrow and audition?

Not really. So I need to make a decision and just get a pair! Tempted by Tritons, but do they really worth 4x cost of the Paradigm 6000?

I would doubt they are 4x better although they might fill that room better.

The price of those speakers are wildly different. What made you choose them out of interest?

Highly unlikely; it's more likely that they're similarly nice to/for most listeners. I'd likely be able to distinguish which I preferred, though it may require repeated listening.

I prefer "bookshelf" speakers, and I've never owned any speakers from any of these manufacturers. But, given my experience and biases, among these, I'd go for the nice 1/3- to 1/4-priced Paradigms, in part because I'd be risking less money and guessing on a company that I'm personally more familiar with, and one that has been producing nice speakers for decades.

Even without auditioning, as possible, I would want to assess, be satisfied with the build quality, finish, look of my/any selection.

Enjoy your building and shopping.

The Paradigms are available from Crutchfield and the new Focals from Amazon. Both allow returns. So start with the cheapest and see how they perform. Or get both and compare.
