Paradigm has speakers from $300 - $6,000 . Smaller boutique companies start at 6k and go up . Deep pocketed audiophiles would never even consider them . As a previous owner of studio 100 v2 ,v3 studio 40 v2 studio 10 v5 . I know what you like about them . Some will give opinions here with no knowledge of the op's questions . Just need to ignore them as much as possible. Only reason i moved on is every couple of years i want a change . i have gone back to paradigm on more than one ocassion . When they come up on CL for a price i cannot refuse .
