Hi,
The V3 Studio 40s are without doubt a step ahead of the V2s.
I once was a strong Paradigm Studio version two series fan; but after both owning the version three Studio 40s for a several months now, and doing side by side comparisons, I would choose the version three Studio 40s over the version two hands down.
Overall, I believe most die-hard version two owners are thrown off by the version threes transparency. I now think Paradigm's goal in designing the version three series was improved transparency and imaging rather than expanding on the somewhat colourful sound version two Paradigm owners sought after.
