I remember seeing one of this in a flee market in Stephenville, Texas before I knew what it was. It had a big scratch across the front and I thought $200 was a bit much for a big tacky speaker cabinet. I can still remember almost barfing when I saw one online and what it sold for. 14.gif

Not too long ago I had the chance to listen briefly to a Paragon clone. The owner had got himself a copy of the original plans, collected the vintage horns, drivers, crossovers and started putting it all together.

Unfortunately he didn't have a proper source (just a MiniDisc player of all things 6.gif and some less than stellar tube amps) so the listening experience doesn't count for much. I really liked the 'cool' look of the speaker (it being really unique IMO) but the sound was something else: not very balanced, mids were rather 'hot' and not much of a believable soundstage. Still, I guess being part of a proper setup they would certainly be an interesting 'toy'. I am just not sure that those insane ebay prices are justified.
