I really thought the Studio 100's in the V2 were supurb... V3 onward, Paradigm introduced the signature series and as such I felt they didn't invest in the drivers in the Studio; focusing on balancing their premier lineOriginally posted by Mitsu3000gt
I've got a pair of older Monitor 5's and they are incredible for the price paid. Not the prettiest speakers but better than a lot of speakers that now cost 2-3X as much IMHO. Paradigm has always delivered huge bang for the buck. We have some older Studio 80's as well which would be tough to match today at double the price. I've got a newer pair of Studio 20v5's in my HT too which have been great.
