My Paradigms Studio/60 v.2 were too bright with neutral Rowland 102 (class D) and Benchmark DAC1. I bought Hyperion HPS-938 and now it is heaven. Sound is very dynamic and detailed but somehow laid back and relaxed. All CDs sound musical now. Midrange is incredible. Hyperion makes 586 speaker http://hyperionsound.com/hws-586.htm
that is on sale here cheap (scratched stock B only 3-4 month old) for $350: http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1271440489&/Hyperion-586-great-monitors---
Person who sells them owns larger HPS-938 (same as mine)

Low/Midrange driver looks the same as my midrange driver. Very interesting technologies. They removed suspension (spiderweb) and made coil very large. Speaker uses ferrofluid for damping. This driver covers range 200Hz-3kHz in my Hyperions so it looks like they stretched it to 50Hz and lowered max power ratings from 200W to 100W.
